I feel there should probably be a patent research board on here.
Why? Follow the money. Patents are a huge way to lock in huge incomes for 7 years. It would be amazing long tedious work with only a find every 1000 or so patents. It would also be huge investment opportunity information. I am sure huge companies already do this.
It would actually show where our world is at tech wise and medicine wise and what the intended use for the patents are.
Just an idea
