Free Inventor Resources

The UIA maintains an Inventor Resource Room with free and helpful documents, articles, and videos all about  inventing and product commercialization processes, and a listing of upcoming inventor trade shows and events.

You Lead Our Actions

Our goal is to deliver relevant information tailored to your preferences and interests, so let us know what you’re looking for. Updating this information helps us deliver the latest news, trends, and events that matter to you. Give us your feedback via these surveys.

The UIA provides our members with free educational resources on how to develop, protect, fund and commercialize ideas and inventions.

Visit Our Resource Room for online reading and video materials.

Join the UIA to receive our free UIA newsletter for information affecting independent inventors, resource updates, articles from industry leaders and decision-makers, and to be notified of upcoming educational seminars and events – most of which are provided at no cost to our members.

Through our educational seminars and trade show program, we create opportunities for inventors to network with companies who are actively searching for new products and/or offer services to that can help move an invention forward. We proudly work with trade show organizers to create inventor exhibitor areas at some of the largest trade shows nationwide.  Visit Our Resource Room for more information on events.

With the UIA-affiliated inventor clubs across the US, UIA members can meet local innovators who have been through the inventing, patenting, manufacturing and marketing processes.  View our list of UIA-affiliated Inventor Clubs to learn more.
