Fortune Magazine: "Patent Review Goes Wiki"
The August 21, 2006 issue of Fortune Magazine ("Patent Review Goes Wiki," pg.18) draws the parallel between the Community Patent Review Project and Wikipedia by letting "let astute outsiders weigh in on the patent-review process, as online encyclopedia Wikipedia does, vastly increasing the information available to the patent examiner." The article also quotes Dave Kappos, vice president for intellectual-property law at IBM describing the online peer review pilot as "a very powerful concept because it leverages the enormous capabilities of the entire world of technical talent."
