Abstract:
Invention is largely information driven. Everyone in a community of inventors is an aggregator of information relevant to invention. Sharing some of this information across a community of inventors will result in greater invention effectiveness at the individual and community levels. Sharing this information via an electronic database is an attractive proposition, but gaining attention and participation is difficult. Networked display devices can help foster awareness and participation in a community information sharing system.
