SparkIP.com is a new Web site that aims to create a marketplace where ideas can be bought and sold.
Today SparkIP.com covers over 3.5 million US patents going back to the late 1960s.
They have plans to add patent applications, international patents, and other data sets in the coming weeks and they hope to soon have dozens of new innovations showing up on the site daily!
As you search on technologies, inventors, organizations or other terms, you will be introduced to our SparkCluster maps which are designed to give structure and context to the vast amounts of information available.
SparkClusters are self-organizing and self-naming, ensuring that the maps reflect the latest trends in innovation.
Today, there are over 49,000 SparkClusters on SparkIP.com; and each month, new ones will form as the innovation landscape evolves.
SparkIP connects ideas and investors in two ways.
First, you can dive into a database of 3.5 million U.S. patents using a Google-inspired keyword search.
Second, technology owners can list technology available for licensing.
SparkIP.com is a data-rich exchange designed for scientists/inventors, universities, government labs, corporations, patent attorneys, and anyone doing research on patented or emerging technologies.
