This April, we celebrate the spirit of American innovation that has flourished since our founding. In 1790, President George Washington signed the nation’s first patent law, sparking generations of inventors, dreamers, and builders whose ideas transformed the world. From lightbulbs to flight, the internet to space exploration, America’s growth has always been driven by ingenuity and the freedom to create.

“Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.”
-George Washington
