New Applications Available for Review on Peer-to-Patent
Peer-to-Patent in the Media
Peer-to-Patent has recently appeared in a number of media sources. Science Progress, a project of the Center for American Progress, recently published an article online entitled Better Patents Through Crowdsourcing.
Beth Noveck and Peer-to-Patent are featured in WIRED editor Jeff Howe's new book Crowdsourcing as a prime example of how the power of the crowd is driving the future of business.
The program was also discussed in the August 2008 issue of the Journal of Engineering and Public Policy. The article, Better Prior Art Utilization to Improve Patent Quality, discusses Peer to Patent as a solution to the "serious limitation on the extent and quality of PTO review...in the examination process."
