SALT LAKE CITY - (Business Wire)
Sciurid Publications for Innovative Products, a comprehensive database of all pertinent information on technologically advanced consumer products, is now available to the public at
www.sciurid.com. The Web-based company will benefit inventors, attorneys, product manufacturers, and consumers.
Sciurid is a one-stop location for everything its customers wish to know, or to have known, about innovative products, including:
- Product launch dates
- Patents & trademarks related to the products
- Product marketing & technical literature
Executive Vice President of Business Development, Ryan Davies, commented, “Information is the life blood of the patent process but the data exist in so many different forms and locations that finding everything necessary to secure a valid and enforceable patent is at best, time consuming and extremely expensive. Patents for software and related technologies are particularly distressed by the lack of organized content.
“Sciurid fills a pressing need for patent attorneys and their clients by providing a comprehensive database of product information that will help end the patent paper-chase. It especially benefits inventors by giving them an ideal location to publish defensive information that will help prevent others from encroaching on the inventors’ products.
“Our database is also a marketing tool for product manufacturers who wish to reach discriminating consumers with detailed product information and encourage them to visit product Web sites. And it benefits consumers who wish to be totally informed before making a buying decision,” said Davies.
The site centers on user-generated information. The wiki-style format allows users to contribute everything from uploading a product brochure to updating a defensive publication. Benefits to users range from knowledge generation to maximizing a market presence. Visitors to the site may also rate consumer items and content, creating a real-time top products list and drawing more attention to specific innovative products.
Sciurid is a subscription service, free to those who wish to see basic product information, create new publications, request certain additional information, and to rate top products and content. Paid subscribers have the added advantages of unlimited access to the database including publication dates and related patent and trademark information, and fully organized search results. Basic subscribers can gain access to the pay content on a pay-per-product fee. Sciurid also offers opportunities for paid advertising.
