According to this press release, Dial Corp. recently announced the winners of its “Submit and Win” Sweepstakes (yes, the winning inventions were drawn from a hat). The winners:

1. E. Caelson (Disposable Glove) USPN 6,748,603? (Schmitt and Carlson)
2. Kris Colburn (Personal Smoke Repeller), USPN 6,464,468
3. Marion Taite (Scented Air Filter), US20050103880

It is neat to see Dial promoting inventorship. They even have an “Inventor FAQ” including such questions as “what is a patent,” “how do I conduct a patent search,” and “What is the process for submitting a patented or patent pending product idea (to Dial)?”
