When America was founded, it was a revolutionary idea to protect the intellectual property rights of its citizens, rather than forcing people to cede their inventions to a king or ruler. As co-founder and president of the Tea Party Patriots, Jenny Beth Martin produced the jaw-dropping film, Innovation Race, which discusses the deliberate catastrophic weakening of the American patent system. The patent system is protected in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 8 of the Constitution, which promotes the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.
