This talk will address:

• What types of U.S.-invented products show promise in the global economy.
  
• Which products are successfully manufactured and marketed in the U.S. and not overseas.
  
• Which inventions are making it in the post-crash market.
  
• What can American inventors do to maintain their intellectual margin.

We look at recent market trends and give advice on how inventors can benefit by adjusting to the "post-recession" paradigm.

We examine promising industries that resist outsourcing, including the medical device industry.
