Explore virtual booths for next week's Invention-Con 2022

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has released a list of virtual booths that are scheduled to be at our free online Invention-Con 2022, coming August 10-12. You can start exploring these resources for independent inventors and entrepreneurs offered by the USPTO and additional federal agencies now. Live chat will be available for select booths during the conference from 2-5 p.m. ET daily.

To gain access to these booths, register today for Invention-Con 2022: Inspiring and redefining the innovative mindset.

In addition to the virtual booths, you will also have an opportunity at Invention-Con 2022 to hear from successful innovators and subject matter experts about:

• How inventors and entrepreneurs come from every background, from scientists creating new products in labs to hobbyists having “eureka” moments at home
• How intellectual property (IP) can be a potential gold mine, how to protect it, and how to use it to drive successful businesses
• How to find loans, grants, and investors
• How IP is vital to businesses in areas ranging from sports, to the arts, to space technology, and more

Invention-Con is the USPTO's annual conference for independent inventors, entrepreneurs, and small business owners whose success depends on guarding their creative work. This program is presented by the USPTO's Office of Innovation Outreach.

And if you know a student with big ideas, be sure to tell them about Youth Day on Tuesday, August 9, from 1 – 4:05 p.m. ET. They can participate online or in-person at USPTO headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia.
