Save the Inventor, a coalition of inventors, patent owners, and other patent system stakeholders, today launched a new campaign, "The Power of Patents: 250 Years of American Economic Success." The six-figure, Washington, D.C.-focused campaign is timed to coincide with celebrations around America's 250th birthday and highlights the importance of the U.S. patent system in driving America's exceptional economic success and technological leadership since the nation's founding.
The campaign showcases the role of patents in driving America's most iconic inventions, from the lightbulb and airplane, to the internet and AI, to other critical and emerging technologies. By honoring the history of American innovation, the campaign highlights the importance of patents in powering the next 250 years of our nation's progress.
The campaign will run through the end of July, with ad placements in DC bus transit shelters, newsletters, and on digital and social media.
