Patent Awards Go Virtual
“Like Much of Corporate Life, Donaldson’s Annual Patent Awards Go Virtual”
From the StarTribune in Minneapolis, MN
In a typical year, Donaldson holds a large awards luncheon for their inventors, usually flying them in from around the world to take part.
This year, due to Covid-19, Donaldson first had to postpone the awards luncheon and eventually they were forced to cancel the in-person event.
Instead, patent awardees and the seven Inventor Awards winners (for significant achievements) were recognized in a 32-minute corporate video that was available to EVERYBODY in the company.
This is a departure from normal where only the awardees take part in the event.
By being creative and imaginative, the importance of patents and innovation are shown to a larger audience – and the impact of recognition is increased.
Congratulations to all of the inventors and innovators at Donaldson Company.
