The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) announced the launch of the National Council for Expanding American Innovation (NCEAI), an initiative aimed at expanding invention, innovation, and entrepreneurship in the United States. The NCEAI is comprised of representatives from industry, academia, and government who will help guide the USPTO in developing a comprehensive strategy to build a more diverse and inclusive innovation ecosystem in America by encouraging participation from individuals from underrepresented groups as inventors-patentees, entrepreneurs, and innovation leaders.
