Invent Together is an alliance of universities, nonprofits, companies, and other stakeholders, brought together by a shared belief: that everyone should have the opportunity to invent and patent their ideas.
Why? Because it’s an important step toward gender equity and racial justice. Because it will make our country stronger and more successful. Because it will help us solve more problems and build a brighter future for everyone.
If we can break down barriers to help more innovative thinkers patent their inventions, we can create jobs, boost the U.S. economy, close wage and wealth gaps, and discover new ways to improve society as a whole.
We supported research by leading academics and think tanks to measure patent gaps and identify best practices to close them.
Championed the enactment of legislation such as the SUCCESS Act and the Unleashing American Innovators Act to expand participation in patenting.
We convened multiple roundtable workshops that brought together academics, practitioners, non-profit organizations, universities, companies, policymakers, and other stakeholders to discuss ways we can increase inventor diversity.
We’re helping policymakers, practitioners, and the public become more knowledgeable about the patent gaps and the benefits of inventor diversity.
We’re always looking for more information on why patent gaps exist and how to close them.
We lift up programs at companies and universities that aim to develop and institute best practices for inventor diversity.
