Woodard Emhardt Henry Reeves & Wagner LLP

Bringing the Indianapolis 500 to Life for Everyone

At Woodard Emhardt, we are proud to represent clients who are not just building businesses — they are changing lives.

We are thrilled to spotlight our client, Tactile Engineering Inc., whose innovative technology is transforming the way people who are blind or visually impaired experience one of the world's most iconic sporting events: the Indianapolis 500.

Through creative engineering and a deep commitment to accessibility, Tactile Engineering is making it possible for fans who cannot see the race to feel it — opening doors to an experience that was previously out of reach for millions of people.

This is exactly the kind of work that reminds us why protecting intellectual property matters. Behind every breakthrough technology is a team of dedicated inventors and entrepreneurs whose ideas deserve to be safeguarded so they can continue doing what they do best — innovating for the greater good.

We are honored to support Tactile Engineering Inc. on their IP journey and look forward to watching their impact grow far beyond the starting line.
