New Web Based Business Benefits Inventors, Lawyers, Manufacturers

SALT LAKE CITY--(Business Wire)--
Sciurid Publications for Innovative Products, a comprehensive
database of all pertinent information on technologically advanced
consumer products, is now available to the public at www.sciurid.com.
The Web-based company will benefit inventors, attorneys, product
manufacturers, and consumers.

   Sciurid is a one-stop location for everything its customers wish
to know, or to have known, about innovative products, including:

   --  Product launch dates

   --  Patents & trademarks related to the products

   --  Product marketing & technical literature

   Executive Vice President of Business Development, Ryan Davies,
commented, "Information is the life blood of the patent process but
the data exist in so many different forms and locations that finding
everything necessary to secure a valid and enforceable patent is at
best, time consuming and extremely expensive. Patents for software and
related technologies are particularly distressed by the lack of
organized content.

   "Sciurid fills a pressing need for patent attorneys and their
clients by providing a comprehensive database of product information
that will help end the patent paper-chase. It especially benefits
inventors by giving them an ideal location to publish defensive
information that will help prevent others from encroaching on the
inventors' products.

   "Our database is also a marketing tool for product manufacturers
who wish to reach discriminating consumers with detailed product
information and encourage them to visit product Web sites. And it
benefits consumers who wish to be totally informed before making a
buying decision," said Davies.

   The site centers on user-generated information. The wiki-style
format allows users to contribute everything from uploading a product
brochure to updating a defensive publication. Benefits to users range
from knowledge generation to maximizing a market presence. Visitors to
the site may also rate consumer items and content, creating a
real-time top products list and drawing more attention to specific
innovative products.

   Sciurid is a subscription service, free to those who wish to see
basic product information, create new publications, request certain
additional information, and to rate top products and content. Paid
subscribers have the added advantages of unlimited access to the
database including publication dates and related patent and trademark
information, and fully organized search results. Basic subscribers can
gain access to the pay content on a pay-per-product fee. Sciurid also
offers opportunities for paid advertising.
