We Are Now Officialy Inventors!
We just received a large stack of paper from the ‘International Searching Authority’ regarding a patent we filed in 2005 for certain parts of Fleck.com. It was published online on May 7, 2007 and can be found here:
The title (how poetic!) is
“A COMPUTER PROGRAM AND SYSTEM FOR NAVIGATING THROUGH ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS”
Patrick and me are listed as both as ‘Applicants’ and ‘Inventors’ which made us very proud when we first got the papers back. Now that it is online it is even more interesting! I wonder if it will affect my Google Rank.
As far as the value of a patent and my opinion on patents in general, that is another story.
