Post-It Note Inventor Dies at 80

Spencer Silver earned 37 patents during his time at 3M.

Silver retired as a corporate scientist in 1996 and earned 37 patents during his time at 3M. He also won several awards, including the 1998 American Chemical Society Award for Creative Invention, according to the company.

Silver is survived by his wife of 56 years, Linda, a daughter and tw

As I recall, the discovery was an accident, not that it matters. I
remember having to use low-stick Scotch tape for this kind of thing.
