Tuesday, November 21, 2006The Rated Patent Exchange - Another IPR Internet Project.On the conference, a co-attendee pointed me to  a new Internet project attempting to commercially establish some sort of proprietary patent exchange with specific features.The Rated Patent Exchange or RPE is designed as a venue for a trusted community exchanging patent assets in standardized transactions. It is apparent that this project shares some aspects as they were discussed on the conference. According to the website, a holder of a patent may make an offer of a standardised patent asset to the public by using RPE as an intermediary providing an independent survivability rating based on the official file maintained by the European Patent Office. The patent asset may be a single patent or patent application, a patent family, or even a patent portfolio. A patent seeker may make a request to a holder by using RPE as an intermediary. RPE says they believe that a seeker does not need to explain who he is and why he buys. Therefore, they pledge never to disclose the identity of the unsuccessful seeker. As the website in question appears to be brand-new I do not have any idea as to whether this project really works. Time will tell us. Technorati Tags: Patents
