We’ve got your patent reform right here….a new Rethink(IP) project is coming soon…

Things have been a little quiet lately over at Rethink(IP). Sure, Doug and I did a tour of duty out in Vegas last week, but there’s been a lot more activity behind the scenes than that. We’ve been quite busy over the summer, and we’re about to launch 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.

Really, It’s about making things better…which, interestingly, is reflective of my original thoughts on the launch of the Rethink(IP) adventure.

Stay tuned.
