US Patents: Protect Yourself

The processes to protect your idea is detailed on the US Patent & Trademark website. Don't be misled by false claims, scams, or companies offering services for unusually low prices

The Journeys of Innovation series tells the stories of inventors or entrepreneurs who have made a positive difference in the world. 

Whitney Pandil-Eaton's story focuses on J. Kevin White, a military veteran and inventor, who is bringing into focus an issue near and dear to him: correcting vision. A series of serendipitous events over a 20-year period helped J. Kevin White go from vision sufferer, to patented inventor, to becoming a global eye health advocate. He is working to bring practical solutions to communities that lack basic eye health care through his patented vision testing system and his Global Vision 2020 organization.
