Jul 13, 2024 | Inventors Stories, News

The votes are in and we are overjoyed to share the winners of the Intellectual Property Owners Education Foundation (IPOEF) Why Didn’t I Think Of That? competition!

Congratulations to Ohio Invention League’s very own Ava-Elizabeth and Tarun who received the most votes in their respective age categories! Ava-Elizabeth won in the 12 and Younger Category for her invention OCT-D: Defense For Your Car! Tarun won in the 13-15 Year-Old Category for his invention Trident!

We are incredibly proud of all the young inventors who participated in the Why Didn’t I Think Of That? competition! You all have gone above and beyond by not only developing an innovation but also protecting what you created by pursuing intellectual property (IP) protection! Well done! We are so happy that we had the chance to partner with our friends at the Intellectual Property Owners Education Foundation, California Invention Convention, and Connecticut Invention Convention during this competition!

The journey is not over yet! Stay tuned for updates on our winner’s journeys as they level up their inventions with the support of industry professionals!
