Invention and innovation have been the backbone of development in the United States. From Eli Whitney's cotton gin to Thomas Alva Edison's Invention Factory in Menlo Park, NJ, individuals have developed new ideas to better mankind. In fact, most of the major inventions of last century came from individuals not corporations.

Inventors come from all walks of life. Some are trained scientists or engineers who work for large companies. But most inventors are everyday people: truck drivers, plumbers, nurses. People who look at a situation and come up with a solution that they think works better. People like you.

But what do you do with that idea? Many just let ideas collect dust in the recesses of their mind. Others look for an opportunity to tell someone about their inventions.
