    Meet the Student Finalists of the 2022 Inventors Competition

    In addition to cash awards, the winning teams also received a USPTO Patent Acceleration Certificate.

    America’s brightest young innovators were recognized and honored this week at the 2022 Collegiate Inventors Competition, an annual competition for college and university students and their advisors.
     
    Finalist teams (five Undergraduate and five Graduate), consisting of 25 students from 10 colleges and universities across the United States, presented their inventions to a panel of final-round judges composed of the most influential inventors and innovation experts in the nation — National Inventors Hall of Fame (NIHF) Inductees and United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) officials.
     
    “For more than three decades, the National Inventors Hall of Fame has carried out our mission to help today’s students become the world-changing innovators of tomorrow,” said NIHF CEO Michael Oister. “We are proud to recognize and celebrate this latest group of collegiate inventors who are showing us how the power of intellectual property is paving the way for the future of American innovation.”
     
    Established in 1990, the Collegiate Inventors Competition is a program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame and is sponsored by the USPTO and Arrow Electronics (sponsor of the Arrow Electronics People’s Choice Award). In addition to cash awards, the winning teams also receive a USPTO Patent Acceleration Certificate.
     
    The undergraduate runner-up winners, Dynamic Brace, presented an orthopedic device:

    Runner-Up Winners ($5,000 Prize)

    Undergraduate:
    Dynamic Brace, Johns Hopkins University
    Team Members: Hannah Yamagata, Jenlu Pagnotta and Delphine Tan; Adviser: Alissa Burkholder Murphy
     
    Comfort and mobility for successful clubfoot care: Clubfoot, a birth defect causing the foot or feet to turn inward and downward, affects one in 1,000 U.S. infants annually and can hinder the ability to walk. With a typical “boots and bar” brace system, which rigidly connects and demobilizes the feet, one in four children experience relapse, often due to noncompliance. The soft, flexible, lightweight Dynamic Brace increases compliance, eliminating the need for a connecting bar and supporting mobility and comfort by allowing both feet to move independently.
