CAMBRIDGE, Mass.

The Lemelson-MIT Program, a leading force for invention and innovation among American youth, has launched a redesigned Web site, , providing educators, invention buffs and students a powerful online invention resource. In addition to presenting a new look and improved navigation, the site includes more information on its invention awards and prize winners.

Currently, the Web site features: downloadable applications and nomination forms for the program’s awards; and the Inventor’s Handbook, which is a guide that addresses questions from independent inventors and entrepreneurs about issues such as intellectual property protection, raising capital, applying for patents and commercialization.
