Over this weekend, Yours Truly was named an IBM Master Inventor.
Citation:
“Each year, IBM asks a small group of employees to join the ranks of Master Inventor. This elite group of people is asked to assist in the identification of new inventions and mentor others in the use of the patent process, among other things. The invitation to become a Master Inventor is based on the value to IBM of an inventors’ United States patents during the three prior calendar years. This achievement is significant because it is the result of a cumulative contribution to the IBM patent portfolio, including Corporate Patent Portfolio Awards, Division Patent Portfolio Awards, and Division Supplemental Patent Issuance Awards.”
