Patent Help for Financially Under-resourced Inventors and Small Businesses

Established under the 2011 America Invents Act, the USPTO’s Patent Pro Bono Program is a nationwide network of independently operated regional programs that match volunteer practitioners with inventors for the purpose of securing patent protection. Each regional program provides services for residents of one or more states. Collectively they cover our entire country. To date, more than 3,400 inventors have been matched with a patent practitioner through the Patent Pro Bono Program. #IdeaoftheDay
