August – National Inventors Month
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008Wow! A month that celebrates creativity!
The United States Patent and Trademark Office has a really cool Kids Page. All kinds of neat information. Select the Time Machine icon and it takes you to some other interesting links including Calendar of Famous and Not-So-Famous Patents and Trademarks. Quite frankly, an adult would find this fun to look around in, especially since the other icons take you to pages where you can play detective and search for patents and holders of patents. You can also come up with an idea for your own invention.
In the upper right hand corner there are inks for parents and educators. Nice site all around.
I am interested in hearing what my readers think are the three most important inventions? What is the silliest one they found? How many of you know someone who filed a patent? Was it through work or was it for an individual invention? How about trademarks?
Tell me what you think.
