Governance
The Peer To Patent project is an independent project set up by New York Law School and operated through the school's Center for Patent Innovations. An agreement between the USPTO and Peer To Patent allows the project to submit prior art to USPTO examiners.
The steering committee includes patent attorneys from major patent-holding companies. The computer industry provides most of the steering committee members, since the initial pilot focused on Technology Center 2100.
Peer To Patent is funded by project sponsors and by the USPTO. The sponsors include:
- Article One Partners
- General Electric
- Hewlett Packard
- IBM
- Microsoft
- Open Invention Network
- Red Hat
