FACTUAL SITES

 

ABC New Inventors  This site is the home page of the ABC TV Show “The New Inventors” hosted by James O’Loghlin.  There are links from this page to either vote for an invention, find an invention or submit an invention.  This site is regularly updated and it is a good starting place when you wish to search for more information on new inventions in the marketplace.

 

IP Australia  This site has information about granting rights in patents, trade marks and designs.  It has good databases and searching tools and outlines the IP basics in 10 easy steps.

 

Funding for New Inventions  This site provides information about the National Innovation Awareness Strategy and how to obtain appropriate funding for new inventions.  It is fairly limited in its information but provides the basics of where to start if you are looking for funding.

 

Questions on IP Answered  If you have any questions on anything to do with IP or new inventions then you can ask an expert for no cost at this site.  Very handy site for those who do not know where to start.

 

Confidentiality Agreements  This site provides templates of various legal agreements including confidentiality agreements.  It has a good range of different confidentiality agreements but these still need to be tailored substantially.  There is a cost associated with downloading these documents.

 

IP Lawyer  This site gives you the name of a registered patent attorney in Australia and New Zealand who has 16 years experience in all areas of intellectual property. His particular fields of expertise are patents, trade marks and designs, both in Australia and overseas.  You will need to contact him directly to obtain a fees schedule.  This site is fairly basic but provides a general overview of his experience.

 

Future Inventions  This is a National Geographic site which talks about inventions of the new millennium.  It is quite interesting and is quite thought provoking.  Highly worth visiting.

 

US Patents Office  If you are planning on patenting your invention worldwide then this site is a must for visiting.  There is an abundance of information on this site which is extremely helpful and informative.  This site is a must for any new inventor wishing to take on the world with their invention.

 

FUN SITES

 

Useful Inventions  This site is a fun and zany site which gives you a listing (not sure how comprehensive) of inventions created on planet earth.  It is more for interest and amusement than for use and provides you with a few laughs.

 

How to be an Inventor  This site is another joke site.  It claims to provide you with a practical guide to becoming an inventor but does not do this.  It is a games site where you have to read the clues and guess the identity of each inventor.  Good for a laugh but not much else.
