The iInvent Community is Coming
A community of practice for solo inventors is launching soon — a space to share progress, ask questions, and learn from others navigating the same journey. Free to join, lawyer-friendly, no funnels.
Get one email when the community opens — nothing else.
The community compact
Seven principles, printed on the wall.
These are the rules iInvent is governed by. They apply to how we work with patent attorneys, designers, prototyping firms, and other professionals who serve inventors through the platform. They will not change without public notice.
01
The encyclopedia stays free, forever.
No paywalls, no email-walls, no premium tier. The article surface is a public good.
02
Free to join the directory.
Patent attorneys, designers, prototyping firms, and other professionals join at no cost. Visibility is earned through engagement, not purchased.
03
Merit-based discovery.
Search rankings reflect community engagement and profile completeness. No pay-for-placement, ever.
04
iInvent never handles third-party funds.
Where sponsors fund inventor work, the sponsor pays the stakeholder directly. iInvent provides the transparent reporting layer — not the wallet.
05
Inventors are the customer, always.
Institutions interact with iInvent only as sponsors funding inventors. We do not sell to universities, accelerators, governments, or corporations as primary customers.
06
AI is a tool; humans are responsible.
Content is AI-generated and verified against official sources — see How we verify.
07
Editorial integrity is non-negotiable.
Articles cite their sources, fee checks are dated where they happened, and when a claim becomes stale, it is corrected.
