Connecting the scientific community to patent
examination

4. Third Party Submissions of Prior Art Today
Rare because:
► Lack of awareness of published patent applications
► Lack of awareness of ability to submit prior art
And also:
► Cannotsubmit comments with prior art
► Presumption of validity if patent issues anyway
Opportunity presented by convergence of:
► Publication of patent applications
► Internet communications
► Emergence of collaborative communities
