The seven interesting inventions of 2015 to help stir your creative side. We talk a lot about intellectual property in general terms. This is because intellectual property can take the form of so many products and ideas across industry sectors. Today, however, we look at some specific inventions that made headlines this year.


As a small business owner or an emerging business leader, you know innovation is a key to your business growth and success. So perhaps this list of innovations will inspire new ideas for the coming year.
