USPTO Hosts Innovation Week
During the week of June 22-27, 2009, inventors and innovators gathered in Alexandria, VA for Innovation Week. The United States Patent and Trademark Office hosted this event at their headquarters in order to celebrate the important role patents and the USPTO play in the economy and the advancement of science and technology.
The event was open to the public and included dexhibits on display, technology specific presentations to patent examiners, and a multi-day conference for independent inventors. Interested parties were able to attend Innovation Week as a spectator or were able to take a more active role in the event by participating as a keynote speaker, technology specific presenter, and patent exhibitor.
