Ask HN: Would you pay to read summary of good quality handpicked patents?
4 points by vineetmarkan 2347 days ago
Patent literature is hard to find and read. I am building a service which summarizes good quality patents from various domains.

Would you like to be an early customer of such a service?

If yes, what topics would like to read? Robotics/Blockchain/Spacecrafts/Genetics etc. and how much would you like to pay.

If not, say 1 line about why is it not valuable.

Patent research is something people pay for. But the payment is for expertise because liability and risk are in the details not at the top level. I'm not sure what the value proposition is for the service you're proposing and it's not clear what the target market is.
This is interesting. How would you be curating the information? Do you have a background in patent law?
I have background in software engineering though we work with IP services company to find the best patents. If you would like to a take a look at an example summary, look here.
