French novelist Victor Hugo once said “There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come.” Inventing is one of America’s greatest past times and what better way to honor the inventing spirit than celebrating National Inventor’s Month.

National Inventors Month started in 1998 by the United Inventors Association of the USA (UIA-USA), the Academy of Applied Science, and Inventors’ Digest magazine.

Learning how to patent an idea takes more than the Eureka moment. The challenge is to take your invention ideas from your brain to a physical reality that is marketable and can be protected from copycats. Don’t be discouraged if a similar idea is patented. It means there could be an existing market for your product. Lizzie Magie patented The Landlord Game in 1904. Charles Darrow played the game and improved it with a new version called Monopoly.
