Innovations at Your Feet Opens in USPTO Museum

Washington, D.C. – A new exhibit opened today in the Department of Commerce's U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Museum. “Shoes: Innovations at Your Feet” highlights shoe technology past and present. Visitors to the museum can learn the history of patented footwear, view stylish innovations, and see how people customize their shoes for work. The exhibit is an entertaining view of all kinds of footwear that incorporates 19 th century models of patented inventions as well as recent accomplishments of today's footwear industry, especially many brands in the areas of children's shoes, work shoes, comfort and fashion.

“ This exhibit conveys the fact that even everyday objects like shoes owe much of their evolution to the intellectual property protection provided to their designers,” noted Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO Jon Dudas.
