About this event

    The Return of the Inventor

    The US Inventor Conference is a call to action for inventors across the nation. We understand the journey of American inventors—pursuing the dream of innovation, expecting that a valuable patent will lead to success, only to face a broken patent system.

    This year marks a turning point.

    US inventors have reached a critical moment where our voices are being heard. From advocating for pro-inventor legislation to building a stronger, more united community, this conference is a testament to our collective strength and determination. Here, inventors will gain the tools, knowledge, and be a part of valuable networking.

    Join us at the USI 3rd Annual Conference and be part of the movement to restore American innovation and secure a future where inventors are celebrated and protected. This is the year where balance returns to the force of invention. We take control of our destinies and shape the future of innovation. Welcome to the transformation.

    Our Mission

    At US Inventor, we believe that a robust patent system is crucial for fostering innovation, securing our national security, and sustaining economic stability. Our mission is rooted in the foresight of our founders, who recognized the importance of protecting inventors’ rights. This was enshrined in the United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 8, which empowers Congress to promote the progress of science and the useful arts by securing exclusive rights to inventors.

    For nearly 200 years, the United States led the world in technological advancements and industry standards, due to our strong patent system. However, the past two decades have seen significant challenges arising from legislation and court decisions that have weakened this system. These changes threaten not only our leadership in innovation but also our national security and economic stability.

    US Inventor is dedicated to reversing these trends. We are committed to restoring a solid patent system that ensures small businesses and individual inventors can protect their inventions from theft, regardless of the power and influence of large corporations. Every initiative and action undertaken by US Inventor aims to restore and reinforce the integrity of the American patent system.

    Organized by

    US Inventor is a non-profit association of inventors devoted to protecting the intellectual property of individuals and small companies. It represents its 67,000 inventor and small business members by promoting strong intellectual property rights and a predictable U.S. patent system through education, advocacy, and reform. US Inventor was founded to support the innovation efforts of the “little guy” inventors, seeking to ensure that strong patent rights are available to support their efforts to develop their inventions, bring those inventions to a point where they can be commercialized, create jobs and industries, and promote continued innovation. Its members depend heavily on the value created by meaningful patent rights. Their broad experience with the patent system, new technologies, and creating companies gives them a unique perspective on the legal fights over the scope and validity of the rights to their inventions.
