Who Is Maria Lizi Stroud?
A Patent Expert and Invention Coach, Maria has over 10 years of experience in teaching, mentoring, and consulting in the patent industry. Her expertise has a broad reach around the globe. Her journey started with one idea in 2012. She didn’t know anything about inventions or patents. She did some research and found a great mentor who has been training her in this industry for almost a decade. She learned how to write and file her own patent, and since then, she has created many more inventions, filed numerous patents, become a granted patented inventor in multiple countries, and has also secured a number of licensing deals. From all of the success achieved, others began asking for help with their ideas. That is how MES & Co started and now Stroud Innovation is born. As an IP and patent expert coach, she has acquired a long list of credentials such as:
• Successful Patented Inventor: 20+ patents in multiple countries, 6 invented, 10 total products
• Patent Expert/Invention Coach
• Michigan Inventors Ambassador
• Michigan Chronicle Top 40 Under 40 2019
• USPTO honoree for Black History Month
• Mentor
• Who’s Who Black In Detroit Honoree
• Human Resource Professional
• Global Intellectual Property Speaker
She is also passionate about helping women and minority inventors develop products from concept to market, having worked in this field for so long and seeing the small percentage of inventors and people with knowledge of IP and patent law.
