In today’s episode, Jenny Beth Martin sits down with Adrian Pelkus, an inventor, entrepreneur, and veteran. The self-proclaimed artificer began inventing at a young age when he created a prosthetic hand and became responsible for over 50 patients at UCLA when he was just a teenager. Adrian has 18 issued patents and has developed over 300 inventions in his 40-plus year career. Adrian explains the struggles and challenges that grassroots inventors face today in the era of the America Invents Act and how that legislation has been detrimental to innovation.
