Never be alone again with a patentable idea. Your fellow
Halfbakers to the rescue!!
(Edited. Was with spelling misteak: aloan)
If you have a real idea but want to discuss it, and are willing
to
give credit and a part of your business to anyone who actually
advances it, this is the website
for you. The NDA allows you
to
still get a patent, although opened to discussion to a
somewhat
wide public.
Every entry into the idea's details and thread, even read-only,
is
recorded.
The user can prove within a short amount of time since
joining
an idea's discussion, if they had whatever information prior to
the idea being posted. Otherwise the idea is shared with the
community and they, the entering user, if if he or she in fact
did
hear of this, are prohibited from disclosing it.
All users of the NDA pool (NDAP) sign a general NDA saying
that
when joining an NDAP idea, they will not further disclose it on
to anyone
and that they agree to be restricted later on from accessing
the idea if the owner decides to bar them out of the
discussion. All activity is recorded and the dates and snapshot
of the idea each time you entered are saved.
The idea originator as well as members of the team may
choose to mark someone's advice as useful, and a separate
discussion would be started, once the idea advanced to actual
development, serious planning or patenting as to how to
devide the spoils.
Of course the website has professional arbitrating
administrators who are accepted in advance when things get
out of hand.
