Website Attempts To Generate Every Possible Patentable Invention (allpriorart.com)

Posted by EditorDavid on from the AIs-vs-attorneys dept.

An anonymous reader writes: All Prior Art is a project attempting to algorithmically create and publicly publish all possible new prior art, thereby making the published concepts not patent-able. The concept is to democratize ideas and to preempt patent trolls. The work is released on-line and in files of 10,000 ideas under a creative commons license. The system works by pulling text from the entire database of US issued and published (un-approved) patents and creating prior art from the patent language. While most inventions generated will be nonsensical, the cost to computationally create and publish millions of ideas is nearly zero -- which allows for a higher probability of possible valid prior art.

      I believe my patent for "A Method and Process for Doing Stuff with Things" has just about everything covered.

      Unfortunately, I hold the patent for "A Method and Process for Doing Stuff With Things Using a Computer", so watch your step!
