草榴社区 (UAH) honored the significant achievements of 11 inventors from two colleges and four departments who have been awarded patents during the past year. The annual patent award recognition was held on May 1 during the 2025 University Awards for Excellence program in the Student Services Building. UAH is a part of The University of Alabama System.

鈥淚nnovation-minded inventors like these are making increasing contributions to UAH and to the marketplace through their innovations, which are proactively managed by the Office of Technology Commercialization (OTC),鈥� said Kannan Grant, director of OTC.

鈥淯AH鈥檚 increased investment in its people has resulted in a significant increase in patenting activity. For the past two years, UAH has been listed in the Top 100 U.S. Universities Granted Utility Patents by the National Academy of Inventors. In the past five years at UAH, new technology disclosures have doubled; the number of patents filed has increased by 45%, and the number of patents issued has increased 150%. These plaques are a testament to the achievements of UAH innovators.鈥�

Grant and Dr. Robert Lindquist, vice president for Research and Economic Development, presented recognition plaques to the awardees.
