j_patexia 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2013 I thought some of the members of the community might be interested in viewing/participating in some of the patent search contests at Patexia (www.patexia.com/contests). Generally the objective is to figure out whether a given idea is original or not at the time. If it's something you've seen before, many times the search can be very fast. Prizes usually range from $1000 to $5000. Since a lot of the ideas are general inventions (e.g. www.patexia.com/contests/ear-warmer) I thought that the people here might have a really good chance to do well the combination of patent search skills and product design experience.
