Maverick inventions head towards patent status and the marketplace
PATENT PENDING
BY DENNIS TAYLOR
New ideas and inventions come from students with dreams and drive. The roadmaps, blueprints and connections necessary to make those dreams a reality are formed with the help of a small army of enthusiastic mentors at Colorado Mesa University.
No fewer than five CMU students and recent alumni are in various stages of development with inventions they conceived as students at the university’s Innovation Center. The resources available at the innovation center help transform the spark of an idea into a full-blown, ready-for-themarketplace reality.
