That's a very good idea. We will reach out to them.

Oh definitely the first two, we're doing this on re-launch after the meta campaign. But I don't follow re: the domain names. Do you mean we should partner with a domain registrar to give out freebies to our users?

If you're willing to share more of your idea, let me know.

That's really interesting. I will definitely discuss this with the team.

That is absolutely part of the plan. Thanks!

That's very interesting. I think this assumes that companies will be asking their crowd to do for them what they do for a living. But we are focusing on customer development (e.g. surveys, interview), and business development (introduc

Thank you very much. These are great points and exactly what we set out to solve when we undertook the project. We will definitely put a time limit on when pledged time can be claimed (likely 3 months after campaign closes). Aside from doin

That's a fair point and something we're working on. We are using 1-hour blocks for pledges. People have been quantifying and qualifying work in 1-hour blocks for a while and are used it we think. But we will continue to refine tha

SSL added.

That's sage advice right there. Would love to chat more, if you have the time. You know where to find us.

Indeed. In fact, filing an inter-partes review, something our partner Hard-IP is very good at, is significantly cheaper than litigation in federal court. Also, with a large enough joint defense group, we may be able to negotiate arbitration

That's an interesting idea. But it doesn't quite translate because each individual copyright infringement case has its own facts, you either did it or not. With patent infringement, the validity of the patent affects every potenti

Thanks! That's really helpful. We'll add all of these things.

Admiral Ackbar? Is that you?

On it. Will switch over.

Good idea. We'll reach out.

It's good to leave that option open, where possible. We would not want anyone to abandon it. For instance, if an IPR fails to invalidate a patent, the fight becomes much harder. And not all demand letters are unfair assertions of paten

This is true. During the early days, we will also have to charge a small monthly fee for members during the pendency of their fight. We hope to remove the fee later, if possible.

When trolls send demand letters, they make it sound like it's in your best interests to settle for a license fee quickly before they start suing people. Don't ask too many questions, just fork over some cash. And it might well be

Trolls might very well try this. We will carefully screen people who sign up to make sure this doesn't happen. We have several ways in mind to do this, happy to discuss if you're interested. If trolls stoop to fraud or bribery to

Thanks. It makes our blood boil too.

Appreciate the concern. This is a collaboration between ideaphore (the co-invention platform and service) and hard-ip.net (patent agent firm). Both companies were founded by people who are passionate about innovation and putting an end to p

On trolling effects, uploaded demand letters are displayed publicly. Small business owners (targets) are worried that the trolls will retaliate if they find out the target is looking to fight back. We will not post your demand letters, but
