How do patents help improve lives globally?
Through inspired innovators making a difference

Patents for Humanity is the USPTO’s awards program for those using game-changing technology to address global challenges, reach under-served communities, and improve millions of lives around the globe. All U.S. patent holders and applicants can participate—not just big companies, but also small and medium-sized enterprises, startups, universities, and nonprofits. In addition to receiving public recognition of their work, winners will be issued certificates entitling them to expedite select proceedings at the USPTO.
