Inductees of the National Inventors Hall of Fame Have Changed Our World
The National Inventors Hall of Fame® (NIHF) recognizes the enduring legacies of exceptional U.S. patent holders. Inventors not only create new inventions, but they can create new industries that employ millions of people. Their innovations truly improve our society. With each new class of Inductees, we not only applaud their inventions, but we provide opportunities for them to engage and inspire the inventors of tomorrow. Their influence can inspire the future and motivate the next great innovator to transform our world.
