Do you have an idea you want to bring to life? Are you passionate about taking your special product or service to the market? The United States Patent and Trademark Office is hosting a free, online inspiration series called Proud Innovation on June 15 and 22.

The Proud Innovation series celebrates LGBTQIA+ inventors, entrepreneurs, and small business owners who use their intellectual property to bring new ideas to market. Participants will hear from eight panelists about what it takes to transform new ideas into realities and turn individual passions into entrepreneurial successes.
