2024 Bronze Medal Award

AWARD CITATION

Mr. Hain is recognized for his highest-quality performance in writing and processing patent applications and handling the entire process extremely efficiently. Because the language of law is different from the language of science, the process of turning a research idea into a patent can be challenging and even painful for the inventor, which is a barrier to even initiating the process. Mr. Hain, with his technical background and skills with creating patent applications, has  made the patenting process smooth and enjoyable for the inventor.
