History of Inventors Network

Beginning in 1976, Inventors Network has been a Central-Ohio-based, non-profit, member-supported organization whose purpose is to support, encourage and educate members about the invention process and to inform the general public about the importance of invention to society and to our economy.

501(c)3 ORGANIZATION

Inventing Ohio

We are chartered in the state of Ohio as an educational non-profit corporation, and we
are a 501(c)3 organization under the rules of the Internal Revenue Service.

Inventors Network is governed by a Board of Trustees elected by members of the organization, and by officers appointed by the trustees. All trustees and officers are unpaid volunteers.

Inventing In Ohio

Since its inception, Inventors Network has conducted regular meetings of its members in the Central Ohio area, drawing attendees from throughout Ohio and surrounding states.

These have been live meetings at such locations as Battelle Memorial Institute; Chemical Abstracts Service; Columbus College of Art and Design; Ohio Business College; Columbus State University; Rev1 Ventures (formerly TechColumbus), and Otterbein University.

Occasionally, day-long conferences have been offered, showcasing several noted speakers and providing breakout sessions to discuss the topics presented or to “network” about other
topics of shared interest. During the restrictive protocols of the COVID pandemic, Inventors Network continued to meet virtually via
online methods.

Currently, Inventors Network has resumed its tradition of monthly meetings, each offering a featured speaker to talk about some topic of interest to inventors, as well as providing an opportunity for members to present and discuss their inventions confidentially with other members in attendance for valuable feedback. Inventors Network continues to be a resource where inventors and innovators can find reliable information, education and camaraderie that can help them become successful in their pursuits.

Support Your Future

Not an inventor but want to support them?

Inventors are an essential part of a society’s economy. They need support. All of our Officers and Trustees are unpaid volunteers, paying dues just like other members. As with any modern organization, we have operational costs such as our new website and its continued maintenance; internet and other communication fees; office supplies and equipment; rents/leases, etc., which exceed our income from member dues; sponsor fees; advertising sales, and so on. As this occurs, we must reduce our modest treasury to survive. Donations, plus other income, are crucial to meet our operational costs.
