Welcome to IPRS's Website. On this page you will find background information about IPRS as well as important links to provide more details of our programs and of related resources.

IPRS is a non-profit corporation founded to conduct research in the creativity and innovation processes, to apply technology to solving problems of society, to be a catalyst for change through education and innovation and to empower inventors, creative thinkers and policy makers.

IPRS has received grants from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop models for inventor support programs with an emphasis on providing gap-filling services for inventors seeking to license their inventions.  Click on Research to see further details and learn about exciting initiatives in medical research headlined in our Magnesium Project and Maternal Health and a new one on Environmental Solutions.

IPRS is listed as a resource for inventors in a number of internationally distributed publications and continues to provide information to inventors including referrals to inventor support groups, useful materials and important web site linkages. Click on Services  for more details.

IPRS has also developed white papers on the U.S. patent system, and how increasing "harmonization" of U.S. patent laws could impact the independent inventor and America’s technological competitiveness.
