European Patent Office (9 releases)
When the European Patent Office (EPO) presents the European Inventor Award 2016 on 9 June in Lisbon, one of the 15 finalists will also be crowned winner of the Popular Prize. While the awards in the five categories "Industry", "Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs)", "Research", "Non-European countries" and "Lifetime achievement" are decided by an international jury, the public alone decides which inventor takes home the Popular Prize. Every vote counts and it is easy to take part: An online poll open to everyone runs until 31 May on the http://www.epo.org and http://www.facebook.com/europeanpatentoffice. All 15 finalists and their inventions are presented on the EPO website so the public can pick their favourite. Voters will be entered into a draw, giving them the chance to win a prize. One vote is possible every 24 hours until the closing date. [more]
