Doris Christopher, Teresa Stanek Rea and Betsy Kaufman talk about innovation.
Inspired by her dedication to preserving the tradition of family mealtimes and driven by the spirit of entrepreneurism, Doris Christopher founded The Pampered Chef® from the basement of her suburban Chicago home in 1980.
Teresa Stanek Rea is Deputy Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Ms. Rea oversees an office that encourages innovation and technological advancement, and helps businesses protect their investments, promote their goods and safeguard against deception in the marketplace.
Ms. Rea joined the USPTO in 2011 as Deputy Director. She is a leading attorney in the field of intellectual property with more than 25 years of legal experience and a past president of the American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA). Before joining the USPTO, Ms. Rea was a partner in Crowell & Moring LLP's Washington, D.C., office where she focused on intellectual property and dispute resolution related to pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other life science issues. Rea has experience in drafting infringement and validity opinions, as well as experience in interference and licensing matters.
Edison Nation member Betsy Kaufman invented the hit As Seen On TV product "Eggies." While standing over her stove early one morning, watching the water boil a few eggs, she came across her "kooky" concept. What about a heat-resistant, egg-shaped container that prevented hairline fractures? One that kept you from laboring over egg shells, the notorious bane of garbage disposals around the country?
Betsy's "Eggies" idea was quickly selected from an As Seen On TV search, and according to our partner, early indications show that Eggies is on track to becoming one of the best DRTV products of the year. Beginning this summer and fall, you'll be able to find Eggies in Walgreens, Bed Bath & Beyond and many more stores across the country.
