There are many different features of INPEX that make it America's Largest Invention Trade Show. One such feature is the Inventors Galleria, an enclosed area where more than 1,000 unpatented or patent pending new product ideas are on display for viewing by business attendees. Because these inventions are unpatented, the Galleria is closed off to the general public, and attendees must be qualified as business entities by attending staff to gain admittance. Attending companies must also agree to view the inventions in confidence.
Every year approximately 1,000 new invention ideas are included in the Galleria. Below is a sample invention list of just a few of the ideas that will be shown in the Galleria at INPEX 2005. If you are interested in getting more information on any of these products or any of the new invention ideas displayed in the Galleria, please contact INPEX at info@inpex.com or call 1-888-54-INPEX.
