America has long led the world in groundbreaking innovation and life-altering inventions. From watershed ideas such as the light bulb and telephone to indispensable conveniences like Velcro and intermittent windshield wipers, if a product needs to be invented or improved, America ingenuity has been there. But our nation's exceptional track record of innovation is no accident.
Patent protections and intellectual property rights are embedded in our Constitution, which since our nation's founding has given inventors the green-light to know the hard work, sweat, financial resources, and vision they invest into their innovations will be protected in the marketplace.
