The Peer to Patent Project: Community Patent Review
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:The Peer to Patent Project: Community Patent Review (ID: CSD4900)
Source:The Community Patent Review project
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2007)
Type:Programs and Projects
Abstract:The Community Patent Review project seeks to create a peer review system for patents that exploits network technology to enable innovation experts to inform the patent examination procedure. In every field of scientific endeavor, peer review is a critical quality control mechanism to improve innovation. Throughout the public sector both peer review and citizen consultation are either legally mandated or practiced as a way to inform policymaking.

The Community Patent Review project aims to design and pilot an online system for peer review of patents. By using social software, such as social reputation, collaborative filtering and information visualization tools, we can apply the "wisdom of the crowd" – or, more accurately the wisdom of the experts – to complex social and scientific problems. This could make it easier to protect the inventor's investment while safeguarding the marketplace of ideas.
