The 2007 National Hardware Show, which is being held May 8-10 in Orlando, Florida, drew more than 3,500 exhibitors showcasing the latest innovations in tool technology.

From the New Product World to the Inventors' Spotlight, visitors at the 62nd annual show can see everything from the latest in tool storage to a newly designed crescent wrench.

"The Inventors' Spotlight at the National Hardware Show is a significant opportunity for inventors and small businesses with innovations," says Bonnie Griffin Kaake, president, United Inventors Association.

"This is particularly beneficial to inventors since it has become more difficult in the last five to ten years for small entities to successfully commercialize even the best of new products through licensing or venturing," she adds.
