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.
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.
Where iInvent uses AI to assist research or summarise content, qualified humans review the output before it carries iInvent's name.
07
Editorial integrity is non-negotiable.
Every article is sourced. Every claim is traceable. Every fee figure is dated. When a claim becomes stale, it is corrected.
