It is a great pleasure to invite you to attend the 2nd International Conference on INVENTIONS (ICI) which is initiated by a newly established international journal INVENTIONS in MDPI.

The aims and scope of the 2016 international conference on Inventions is to make researchers focus on patent based researches. An invention is a solution to a specific technological problem and is an improvement upon a machine or product, or a new process for creating an object or a result, which also could achieve a completely unique function or a radical breakthrough. However there is a very thin line between brilliant innovation and absolute failure, as some of these inventors famously found out or even face with the problems of insufficient funds. Therefore patent based researches are a form that offering a way to apprehend the ideas and advance on the projects immediately, rapidly by the successful, practical results of predecessors. We expect the conference to be a platform for successful patent inventors to share their experiences in inventing with all participants. At the same time, the conference also aims to gather and show high quality papers concerning the discovery of completely unique functions or results while even go further to advance the frontiers of science and extends the standards of excellence established by Inventions to readers. With many discussions based in patent, no matter the conference or Inventions would inspire more in all levels.
