Congressional Inventions Project

A year of innovation, collaboration, and inventors on Capitol Hill. Watch the Congressional Inventions Project’s 2025 Year in Review 👇 Appreciate the leadership of our co-chairs @SteveDaines @ChrisCoons @KevinKileyCA @RepDeborahRoss in supporting American innovation.

Great turnout at our Drawn to Innovate holiday lunch! 60+ attendees, 31 Congressional offices, hands-on soldering + live caricatures, and remarks from Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Deborah Ross. A fun, creative way to close out a big year for American inventors.

Innovation drives our economy—and strong IP laws make it possible. This #NationalIPMonth, we’re recognizing the inventors, entrepreneurs, and policymakers who keep America’s innovation engine running.

Huge thanks to the 250+ staffers who "popped" over to the Congressional Inventions Project's popcorn truck on Capitol Hill yesterday! 📷 Interested in the Congressional Inventions Caucus? Find out more: congressionalinventionsproject.org #NationalIPMonth #IP #USInnovation

America doesn’t beat China by copying its playbook—we win by out-innovating it. Our strength is invention, our edge is ideas, and our system rewards those who take risks. 📽️ Highlights from “Taking on China Through American Innovation” hosted by @CongressionalIP + @rc_markets

100+ packed the room on Capitol Hill to talk about one thing: innovation. Big thanks to @JohnTamny, Russell Slifer & Jeffrey Gerrish for a powerful panel w/ @CongressionalIP & @RCMarkets.  🇺🇸💡

“Patent property rights are divine.” On Constitution Day, we’re reminded that the Founders enshrined intellectual property rights into our nation’s founding document. Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 isn’t just legal text—it’s a commitment to encourage innovation, creativity, and progress.

Inventors like DripLock's Kelly Shea rely on strong IP protections to turn ideas into reality. Weakening IP law means fewer small businesses and fewer inventions coming to market.

🛠️ Sarah Meckley & Brian Alexander of Time-Lock Dual Stop Inc. know what it takes to bring an idea to life. 📹 In this video from our spring event, they thank the Congressional Inventions Caucus for standing up for America’s small inventors and innovators.

The Congressional Inventions Project (CIP) hosts Summer Social with Congressional Inventions Caucus Cochairs @RepDeborahRoss and @RepKiley. Join the movement today! congressionalinventionsproject.org/celebrating-in… congressionalinventionsproject.org/wp-content/upl…

Leslie Holland, founder of The Jewelry Closet, shares how intellectual property fuels innovation—and why protecting inventors is critical to America’s future.

Without strong IP rights, entrepreneurs like Melissa Wylie can’t compete. Congress must stand up for American innovators.

Real inventors. Real jobs. Real impact. Lori-Ann and John Danko aren’t outsourcing—they’re building HandyScribe here at home. Support American innovation. Support American manufacturing.

This isn’t theoretical. Carmine Denisco works with small inventors every day. And he’s got a message for Congress: defend their IP rights—or risk losing America’s innovation edge.

🎉 From breakthrough ideas to bold innovation — World IP Day celebrates the creators who power progress. Watch the highlights from this year’s event and see why protecting IP means protecting the future.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Capitol Hill for a powerful #WorldIPDay celebration! 🇺🇸 Inventors shared their innovations and made their voices heard in Congress.
