| Peer-to-Patent Releases Second Anniversary Report
We are proud to announce that Peer-to-Patent, recognized by the White House Open Government Initiative as an innovative social networking program, successfully completed its second year. To celebrate this occasion, the Center for Patent Innovations at New York Law School has today released the Second Anniversary Report.
To this end, the report illustrates the growth that Peer-to-Patent underwent from the first year and details the results from the second year of public collaboration in the patent examination process. As a baseline, the first year data showed that an open network of reviewers could improve the quality of information available to patent examiners. Furthermore, these reviews are capable of producing information relevant to determining the merit of the claimed inventions. The second year data, expanded on these results by illustrating that Peer-to-Patent reviewers possessed the time and motivation to voluntarily participate as a community in reviewing more patent applications covering broader subject matter.
This culmination of the second year is bittersweet for us at Peer-to-Patent. While Peer-to-Patent gained governmental, national and international notoriety, the USPTO has chosen not to extend the program. We hope that further review of the Second Anniversary Report will provide proof that Citizen Experts are ready to participate in the Open Government Initiative. As the project moves into its final months, there are a number of new applications from a diverse set of participants awaiting review.
We would also like to thank you for all your hard work and participation in this innovative project. To view the report in its entirety, please visit Peer-to-Patent Second Anniversary Report
