Can patents be beneficial for society

Has it ever happened to you that you want to buy something not being manufactured yet?

This has happened to me many times. I know what I want but I can not find it, because it is not manufactured or invented yet. My recent invention makes this possible. If you can specify what you want, you may soon be able to buy it if there are enough people, to cover the costs, wanting the same thing as you.

Background

When I found out how to implement this invention I filed a patent application. Even though I'm against patents on software and business methods I also realized that this patent will be beneficial for us all. The intention is to stimulate collaborative innovation and shape standards for searchable knowledge and generic design representation

The patent application is still a temporary one, which have costed me 3600 USD so far. To finalize this patent in US I need about 20000 USD more, according to the patent engineer who assisted me. To finalize the world patent I will need around 200,000 USD but I may not need the world patent. When this method has started working in US, which is a great market to start with, the pure size of the data base will be an incentive for the rest of the world to continue build upon the same data base. The method works better, the bigger the data base.

This patented method will, when properly used

• Apply to both manufacturing on demand as well as allocation of research projects.
• Stimulate collaborative innovation.
• Stimulate standards for generic collaborative design data bases.
• Create new job potentials and stimulate small industry.
• Speed up technological evolution.
• Weaken many reasons for corruption, wars and global conflicts, due to collaboration over the borders.
• Provide researchers over the world with what they want, i.e. fundings and free information.
• Make research results, where this method is used, available and searchable for all people everywhere.
• Help us adapt to new powerful future technologies like nano technology.

How you can help

I have discussed this invention with a few venture capitalists but I'm not pleased with their offers. They want specific control over the patent and this would limit its use. Any specific manufacturer having control over this patent would make it too narrow and therefore not fulfil its real purpose. What I will do instead is to keep control over the patent and offer the interface to one or some of the big search engines. They will benefit from it and you will benefit from it.

To be able to keep control over the patent I need your help, because I can not afford to pay the rest of the patent cost myself, I used my last savings on the temporary application. I now put almost all I've left, 1000 USD, as the initial funding, and hope you can help me so I can finalize the application in US, which needs around 20000 USD.

What you get

A free world, where GPL is applied also to general design, innovation, research and knowledge. If you are not pleased only with this promise, mail me and we can discuss our conditions about collaboration before you pay anything.

How to pay

Unfortunately, as there are no good systems for micro payments implemented yet, all I can offer for now is paypal, use the mail address aimkth.se.
