Peer-to-Patent is LIVE!

We are proud to announce that the Peer-to-Patent system is now live!

Become a community reviewer and improve the quality of patents at www.peertopatent.org.

• Review and discuss patent applications submitted for open review.
• Research published resources relevant to the patent application's claims.
• Upload and explain prior art for the community.
• Annotate, evaluate, and rank each other's prior art.
• Create the "top ten" list of prior art references forwarded to the USPTO.

Anyone can participate as a reviewer, a patent application facilitator, and by sharing information about the pilot with others. Inventors can submit a qualified patent application for open review.  Public participation is crucial to demonstrating the value of openness and making the case for greater USPTO accountability.

For a summary of the applications posted by GE, HP, Intel, IBM and Red Hat for review click here http://dotank.nyls.edu/communitypatent/applications.html.
