InventionsDuring his career as an engineer, inventor, physicist, Gardner created the 515 issued United States Patents. In the year 2000, Gardner was awarded over 160 issued patents in one year, which is a record for the most inventions for a United States citizen for a one-year period.

A partial list of his inventions can be found at the United States Patent and Trademark office.[3] Gardner has most recently patented an idea focusing on technology currently being utilized by several mobile conglomerates that many think may be infringing. The patent includes claims relating to a mobile device communicating with a secondary device to access credit card information, purchased tickets, financial institutions, driver licenses, and passports (to name a few).
