About NAI:
The National Academy of Inventors (NAI) is a member-based organization of patent-holding inventors at academic institutions and nonprofit research organizations across the U.S. and the globe. Founded in 2011, its mission is to recognize and encourage inventors, increase the visibility of innovation and academic research, and mentor the next generation of inventors to create a better society for all.

With a membership of more than 4,000 from 250 institutions, NAI members have won 44 Nobel Prizes and 63 U.S. Medals of Science, Technology, and Innovation. They hold more than 53,000 patents and have started over 13,000 licensed technologies and companies, creating 1 million jobs and $3 trillion in revenue.

The NAI’s current Joint Agreement with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) aims to correct the systemic and cultural challenges of the patent process in order to increase diversity and inclusion.
