	First Initiative of Open-IP.org
	Dec. 11, 2007
	The first initiative of Open-IP.org is to establish a data clearinghouse that consolidates patent offers from multiple online entry points (portals) into a centralized data repository. The combined patent offers will be syndicated back to all member portals so that each patent for sale or license can be found at all entry points. Entry points for listed technology may be traditional Internet portals and IP management applications. Research points to the consolated database may be Internet portals or patent data analysis tools. Each portal will retain their unique “value-added” market advantage to provide for continued competition and innovation. The consolidated database will be publicly accessible exclusively via member portals’ websites.
