RTX Invention Convention U.S. Nationals 2025
Cantor Colburn is proud to be a returning sponsor
Cantor Colburn is proud to sponsor the Raytheon Technologies Invention Convention U.S. Nationals at the Henry Ford campus on June 4-6, 2025. Partner Karl Barr has been involved with the invention competition for years—judging for the firm’s Most Patentable Award, mentoring young inventors, and providing trainings to the Invention Convention organization. This year, he will once again attend the event in person.
The eighth annual event takes place inside the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation where more than 300 students from across the country display their inventions alongside the greatest innovations in American history. More than 80 awards, including cash prizes, trophies, medals and patent applications, including the Cantor Colburn Most Patentable Invention Award, will be awarded to inventive students from across the country.
Students compete at local and regional levels before advancing to the U.S. national competition. To participate, students must submit a video presentation of their invention, a prototype, an inventor’s logbook showing the journey of their invention process, and a poster board highlighting key points of the invention process.
