ENTRIES TAGGED "Peer to Patent"
Software patents, prior art, and revelations of the Peer to Patent review
Besides the greater openness that Peer to Patent promotes in
evaluating individual patent applications, it is creating a new
transparency and understanding of the functioning of the patent system
as a whole. Problems with prior art disproportionately affect
software.
Peer to Patent Australia recruits volunteer prior art searchers
The Peer to Patent project has already earned its place in history.
But I've been wondering, along with many other people, where it's
going. It's encouraging to hear that a new pilot has started in
Australia and has gathered a small community of volunteer patent art
seekers.

is carrying off one of the most audacious experiments in Internet
activism in our day.
A report released by the non-profit project in
PDF format
reports the data from surveys and an analysis of patents handled
during the first year of the project. The sample is small (23 patents)
but bears some impressive fruit.
