The blog patentauthority.com has listed these websites in a recent post: shouldexist.org, halfbakery.com, idea-a-day.com, brightidea.com, creativitypool.com, Idea Banks on dmoz.org, thinkcycle.org, globalideasbank.org. These websites allow people to publish their inventive ideas and collaborate.

According to patentauthority.com these websites should be considered prior art and that statement is certainly true; however, anything published on the web is considered prior art. So the value of these sites to patent professionals is on par with the entire web. Nonetheless, the concept is certainly interesting.
