The Tennessee Inventors Association is an organization in East Tennessee dedicated to supporting and promoting independent inventors. TIA members are from Knoxville and Oak Ridge. Some members come from Chattanooga, Cleveland, Bristol, Johnson City, Morristown, and other East Tennessee areas. The TIA also has members from as far away as Ohio and Virginia. The Tennessee Inventors Association is a great resource for inventors, innovators, and entrepreneurs.

Visitors are always welcome!

Our next meeting is Thursday, June 9, at 6:30 pm. We will be meeting at the Karns Community Club Center at 7708 Oak Ridge Highway, Knoxville, TN 37931.

The primary goal of the TIA is the advancement of technology throughout Tennessee with its accompanying economic growth. Toward this end, TIA provides information, guidance, and encouragement to those involved in innovation. It is a chartered non-profit organization in the State of Tennessee composed of inventors and other persons interested in the innovation process.

The TIA membership includes independent inventors, small business developers, engineers, and scientists from state and federal research and educational facilities. The span of technical expertise and inventions ranges from high-tech to low-tech, from lasers to games to cat toys. Other TIA members are from business-related fields and are available as consultants to the other members. For example, we have patent agents and patent attorneys as members, and we frequently have business attorneys and lawyers, model makers, graphic artists, modelers, designers, and others as visitors. Even if you do not have an invention, you are welcome to join the TIA!
