Inventors’ auction with innovative ideas
September 22nd, 2005
Dozens of inventors attended the ‘innovation auction’. At that auction, inventors try to market their ideas. Each year, inventors file patent applications for thousands of ideas. Only a small number of those inventors are truly successful. Many people invent something that already exists. Patent offices also provide inventors with information on the state of the art: an aspect of the services provided by patent attorneys that receives too little attention.
