Overview
IPVectors, a patent analytics company, aims to create a vibrant WordPress-based online community for patent holders using BuddyPress and MemberPress. The community will provide inventors with visibility, collaboration opportunities, and AI-driven patent landscape analyses while collecting feedback to refine IPVectors’ analytics offerings for law firms and corporate clients. The most critical value is delivering patent landscape analyses to inventors, rewarding their feedback with points toward subscription discounts, and using that input to enhance the AI tool’s accuracy and appeal.
NEED TO START WITH WIREFRAMING AND SPLIT INTO 2-3 PHASES FOR IMPLEMENTATION
