USPTO Hour: Celebrating America's 250th at the USPTO

Join us Wednesday, June 24, from noon to 1 p.m. ET for our next USPTO Hour, hosted by the Office of the Under Secretary and Director and the Office of the Chief Communications Officer.

In 1776, our nation’s founders declared independence based on three inalienable rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Over the past 250 years, innovators from coast to coast have made our world safer, advanced our technological progress, and created prosperity for both the country and their families.  

As we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, we honor the spirit of invention that connects communities, builds livelihoods, and inspires future generations.

In this session, we will discuss:

  • The USPTO’s participation at the Great American State Fair
  • Exciting historical exhibits and activities at USPTO headquarters
  • A special preview of the USPTO’s feature documentary, “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Innovation”
  • Stories of inventors and entrepreneurs who left a lasting impact on American society

Speakers include:

  • Jason Clark, Director of Strategic Initiatives, Office of the Under Secretary and Director, USPTO
  • Rebekah Oakes, Lead Historian, Office of the Chief Communications Officer, USPTO
