By Marie Landino, USPTO
As a professional football, Shawn Springs experienced the effects of concussions firsthand. That knowledge, combined with the insights gained from a component of ann infant car seat, led him to build a company that uses patented padding to protect athletes, soldiers, and automobile passengers from traumatic brain injuries. Now immersed in the world of applied science and technology, Springs breaks the stereotypes of athletes and shows that innovation can come from anywhere.
