THE INVENTOR BEHIND THE GLAMOUR

Long before smartphones and wireless networks, Hedy Lamarr, a celebrated Hollywood actress of the 1940s, used her intelligence and creativity to help change the world.

In 1941, Lamarr co-invented a frequency-hopping communication system designed to secure radio signals for Allied torpedoes during World War II.
Although the technology wasn’t adopted by the military at the time, her patent later inspired the foundational principles of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.

WHY IT MATTERS

Lamarr’s legacy reminds us that innovation transcends professions, gender, and time.
Her creativity and technical insight bridged entertainment and engineering, proving that problem-solving and artistry often go hand in hand.

Her work continues to influence modern wireless communication systems, making her not just a Hollywood legend, but also a STEM pioneer.

KEY TAKEAWAY

True innovation can emerge from anywhere, even a movie set.
Hedy Lamarr’s story illustrates how curiosity and intellect can reshape the world in ways we could never predict.

Jordan has implemented notable changes in its IP framework effective August 16, 2025:

1️⃣ Annuity Payments:
Renewals must now be completed between December and the end of January each year — a shift from the previous January–April window.

2️⃣ Plant Variety Registration:
All plant varieties are now eligible for registration, except those expressly prohibited by Jordanian law.

Why it matters:

• Businesses will need to adjust to the shorter annuity payment period.
• The change promotes greater innovation and clarity in plant variety protection.

These updates reflect Jordan’s efforts to modernize IP procedures and foster agricultural innovation.

When we think of Abraham Lincoln, we picture the 16th President of the United States a leader, reformer, and symbol of perseverance.
But few know that Lincoln was also an inventor.

In 1849, he patented a device designed to lift boats over sandbars and shallow waters making him the only U.S. president ever granted a patent. Although the invention was never manufactured, it reflected Lincoln’s sharp, problem-solving mind and his belief in innovation as a tool for progress.

Why this matters:
Lincoln’s story reminds us that intellectual property isn’t just about business or technology it’s about creativity and foresight. Every idea, no matter how small or simple, deserves protection and recognition.

At Exy IP, we believe innovation can come from anyone even a president.

Stronger IP collaboration, faster innovation

Taiwan and France have officially launched a Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) program — a bilateral initiative designed to accelerate invention patent examinations and enhance international IP cooperation.

Under this program, applicants who receive a favorable examination result from one patent office can request expedited review in the other, significantly reducing time and cost for innovators seeking protection in both jurisdictions.

This collaboration not only speeds up patent approvals but also deepens Taiwan–EU innovation ties, fostering a more seamless environment for global technology exchange and commercialization.

Why it matters:

• Faster cross-border patent approvals
• Lower procedural costs
• Strengthened global innovation networks
