Submission + - Patent peer review is now online (peertopatent.org)
Diomidis Spinellis writes: "Several Slashdot stories have reported that the US Patent and Trademark Office considered moving toward a peer review system for patent applications. A one-year pilot Peer-to-Patent program for selected patent applications is now online. The most active team currently reviews a patent on a method, apparatus and computer program product for providing status of a process. The IEEE Spectrum has an interview with the founder of Peer-to-Patent New York Law School's Professor Beth Simone Noveck."
