Science
Despite commercialization's potential advantages, female academic researchers are markedly less likely than their male counterparts to take even the first step — obtaining a patent. A 2006 study of more than 4,000 university-based life science researchers found that 13 percent of the men held at least one patent, as compared with just 6 percent of the women. After accounting for factors such as productivity and field, the women patented at 40 percent the rate of "equivalent male scientists," the study states. More recently, a 2015 study found women's patenting increasing but still lagging behind men's.

The ability to create clean, safe drinking water using only natural levels of sunlight and inexpensive gel technology could be at hand, thanks to an innovation in water purification. According to the United Nations, 30,000 people die each week from the consumption and use of unsanitary water. Although the vast majority of these fatalities occur in developing nations, the U.S. is no stranger to unanticipated water shortages, especially after hurricanes, tropical storms and other natural disasters that can disrupt supplies without warning.

Purdue University
A Purdue University-affiliated startup is seeking to open up access to space for microsatellite companies by modernizing a launch technique first used in the 1950s. Leo Aerospace LLC plans to use "rockoons," or high-altitude balloons, that launch rockets into suborbital and orbital flights. Suborbital launches are frequently used by researchers who need access to zero gravity or vacuums for experiment, while orbital flights are used by satellites.

Gene Quinn, a patent attorney and the editor and founder of IPWatchdog.com, writes: "Frequently one of the most challenging aspects of inventing is determining what need a particular invention fills. This is not to suggest that inventors do not know what their invention does, why they created the invention in the first place, or how it might be used by a potential consumer. Instead, one of the biggest issues I see is inventors not having a good grasp of why an invention might be desirable from the viewpoint of consumers who might be perfectly willing to use various substitutes."
