Matt Buchanan had a post yesterday about a secret Rethink(IP) project he’s been spear-heading. He called it “our most ambitious project yet.”
What is it, you ask? I can’t pop the top yet, but can promise that we’ll do it soon. We’re planning a very brief private beta period beginning at the end of this week. If you’d like to be included in that, please send me an e-mail at jmb@promotetheprogress.com. We’re planning to launch the public beta – where everyone can participate – immediately after the brief private beta period.
Are you a little curious? Here’s a big hint….remember the word everyone. The focus of the project is community. Everyone. Everyone can participate, which is exactly the way it should be. We think that the patent reform efforts have left the community at the door, and we’re fixin’ to fix that. Here’s a few more hints to get your gears turning:
It’s about community…it’s about being open….not closed…it’s about everyone, not just experts. it’s about patent review…it’s about improving the delivery of patent-based information…it’s about facilitating the discussion of patents and patent information.
Both Doug and I have been diligently testing the alpha with Matt…and it is going to be GREAT. The best part about this community…it finally provides a vehicle where those that hate patents a place where there can “put up or shut up,” while at the same time providing an essential tool to businesses and patent attorneys.
