Regarding invention idea banks or exchanges -

· Do you know of any one web-tool that searches all the idea banks at once? This concept might be similar to esp@cenet® searching multiple country patent databases at once.

· In addition, do you know of any one web-tool that a person could submit ideas for inventions to multiple idea banks at the same time? This concept might be similar to e-filing one EP or PCT patent application for multiple countries.

· Lastly, do you know of any one web-tool that alerts others of newly published ideas for inventions for a given topic? This concept might be similar to existing commercial patent alert tools that lets others know of recently published patent applications and grants.

If these tools exist, would you please give me the link to them? If not, do you know of anyone working to develop these tools? Feel free to pass this note along to others who might be interested. Maybe computer science or patent law students looking for a project? Let me know if I can help on this.

Thanks!
