Cantor Colburn was proud to sponsor Patent Application Awards at the 2026 RTX Invention Convention U.S. Nationals, held at The Henry Ford in Dearborn, Michigan. The nation's premier K-12 invention education event brought together 513 student inventors and more than 1,300 students, families, educators, judges, sponsors, and supporters for three days celebrating innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship.

The event featured a variety of intellectual property-focused programming, including a youth patent panel, presentations by young inventors who have obtained U.S. patents, and opportunities for students to learn about the patent process directly from innovators and IP professionals.

As part of its sponsorship, Cantor Colburn will provide patent search and patent application services for award-winning inventions, helping promising young innovators protect and advance their ideas. Cantor Colburn is honored to support the next generation of inventors and entrepreneurs and to encourage continued innovation through access to intellectual property resources and guidance.
