Welcome to the first issue of InventorsEye, a new electronic publication by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. InventorsEye is for and about America’s independent and small entity inventor community. It is a community that has always been a vital and vibrant part of America’s invention heritage.

InventorsEye will appear every other month. Each issue will feature information you can use, tips on working with the USPTO; events, organizations and meetings of interest to the community; issues that impact independent and small entity inventors; and stories about people like you who have become successful inventors. We also want to hear from you with your ideas for stories and features that will enable us to better serve you through this publication.

We at the USPTO are committed to providing America’s innovators with the tools you need to put your ideas to work. That means providing high quality patents in a timely manner and giving your inventions reliable IP protection. Independent inventors and small businesses do critical research and development every day, and the innovative goods and services you produce benefit society and fuel our economy by creating new businesses and jobs. My goal is to help you bring those goods and services to market, to build economic opportunity, and to maintain America’s place as the innovation capital of the world.
