Unveiling 5.5 Million Innovators: How IDiyas Solved a Decades-long Mystery and Celebrated the Unsung Heroes of Invention?
A question remained unanswered for decades: How many inventors have shaped our world through their ideas? Google could not answer it, and neither could the USPTO. Millions of inventors, the unsung innovation heroes, were hidden from recognition.
That was until IDiyas stepped in. Why was this such a difficult problem to solve? We are mobile. We change companies and residences. IDiyas normalized the data with its proprietary algorithms and with the assistance of our inventor community.
A complete, uncensored list of inventors with a USPTO patent has been compiled for the first time. IDiyas solved a decades-long mystery, revealing a staggering 5.5 million inventors who have contributed to shaping our lives (since 1976).
This list is more than just names; it's a tribute to those who often go unnoticed but whose innovations power the devices we hold, the medicine that saves lives, and the technologies that propel society forward.
The world now knows how many have left their mark. It's not just a number; it's a celebration of human creativity, resilience, and perseverance. It reminds us that behind every invention is a person, an inventor with a dream, now recognized.
This story is a rallying cry: Innovation matters, and so do the people behind it.
Let's share this with the world. Let's inspire the next 5.5 million inventors!

Featured Inventor
Sabeer Bhatia is an Indian-American entrepreneur and co-founder of Hotmail, one of the first web-based email services. He earned a Bachelor's degree from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. In 1996, Bhatia and Jack Smith co-founded Hotmail, which quickly became a popular email platform due to its free and accessible web-based format. Microsoft acquired Hotmail in 1997 for an estimated $400 million, making Bhatia a prominent figure in Silicon Valley. |  |
Following Hotmail's success, Bhatia continued to be involved in various technology ventures and startup initiatives, contributing to the growth and development of the internet industry. Hotmail got its name from the idea of incorporating HTML (HyperText Markup Language), the language used to create web pages, into the brand. In its early days, Sabeer Bhatia faced some challenges in selling Hotmail due to a misunderstanding about its nature. According to Bhatia, some potential investors initially mistook Hotmail for a male entertainment company. This confusion arose because the name "Hotmail" sounded similar to the idea of "hot males" leading to a misconception about the business's nature.
