List of celebrity inventors

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of celebrity inventors and their patents. (For the purposes of this article, an inventor is a person who has been granted a patent.) After Google released a patent search [1] online in December 2006, a website called Ironic Sans,[2] made the public aware of a number of celebrity patents found through the new patent search engine.

Additional lists of inventors can be found at List of inventors. See also Category:Inventors.
