Inventing to Nowhere is a documentary that is framed around the story of two first-time inventors. Inventors Bryan Pate and Brent Teal live the American Dream. They created the ElliptiGO hybrid bike in their garage and have gone on to sell thousands. As their business grows, they discover the value of holding strong intellectual property. But when Brent and Bryan learn of Congress' attempts to change the patent system, they worry it will devalue intellectual property and new innovations will stop sprouting up. As the current patent-law debate becomes more influenced by special interests, the future of inventors and entrepreneurs is in jeopardy. How will these changes affect their company and all other companies across the nation?
