Crowdsourcing gives me that opportunity to support my diversity of interests. It keeps me alive with new challenges and interesting projects. Can't get much better than that can you? Oh yeah, and what's my risk? Time. I personally call it play time.John Lynn, Feb 2007

The Idea
A wiki-based patent creation and submission system. The site would facilitate easy collaboration between the various inventors involved, including fine-grained tracking of which inventor made which contributions. In addition to the inventors, it makes it easy for others involved in the patent 'workflow' to get involved, such as patent lawyers who need to review and edit the patent and hired illustrators who need to add illustrations. The system would also feature an online 'notebook' for inventors to log their prototype development, and witnesses to leave their electronic signatures on notebook entries. The site would handle conversion from the wiki markup to whatever document format required by patent agency, and be able to handle patent submission on behalf of the inventors. It would also feature a free patent search -- featuring sophisticated (and of course, patented) pattern matching technology.
I thought of this idea when I was...
.. looked into what was involved in creating a patent, and envisioned the ideal web-based service to make it as simple as possible.
