It’s not well known, but even as a young girl Phyllis Schlafly knew quite a bit about patents and inventions. Her father was a brilliant engineer who developed a unique design for a rotary engine – and got a patent for that. He was ahead of his time, and his patent was never put into production. But his daughter Phyllis learned to appreciate the genius of our founding fathers, who – in the Constitution – gave Congress the power to grant inventors exclusive rights to their discoveries. This allowed American inventors to recoup their investment, profit from their work, and it has powered innovation in American industry.

The rich history of entrepreneurship and innovation in America is driven by our unique system of patents and intellectual property. Schools may give a lot of lip service to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) skills, but without an understanding of how those things unleash American invention and prosperity, a key component of our American economic engine is missing!
