National Inventors' Day
National Inventors' Day honors inventors of the past, the designers of the present, and encourages the future architects. The genius behind design is celebrated on National Inventors' Day on February 11th, which is also recognized on February 11th. It also delves into the past of some of our most unusual inventions.
What does Ermal Fraze, Thomas Adams, Melitta Benton, Patricia Beth, and Stephen Perry have in common? They are honored on February 11th, along with the Wright brothers, Thomas Edison, George Washington Carver, and Elisha Otis.
We can safely ride in an elevator, have a well-lit room at the flip of a switch, speak to someone on the other side of the world, or even pump lotion from a bottle thanks to inventors. Many Inventors live their entire life without being recognized for their creations, while others are household names. Nearly every part of us has resulted from someone tinkering in their garage, lab, or basement trying to find a solution to a problem.
Some inventions may have been happy accidents by an observant person; the microwave oven, penicillin, sticky notes, and bubble wrap may not have made their way into their new use if it wasn't for young or persistent inventors.
A lot about how inventors think about life is represented by the proverb "Necessity is the mother of invention." They are a progressive, forward-thinking bunch. Where will we be without pacemakers, traffic signals, rubber bands, or coffee filters?
We do have some products we may be better off without, but there are some that we may be able to live without. A DVD rewinder doesn't quite meet the required requirements. Or, they are otherwise ineffective. For example, pulling a stroller fridge for your watermelon, as well as the cooler and beach umbrella seems to be a bit of overkill. Nonetheless, the world would be downright dull and much more difficult without inventors.
Inventors should keep track of their designs, processes, ingredients, and components. Then, protect your inventions, protect your inventions, and get your unique creations patentable.
