Ideawicket is a platform to bring together innovators and organizations with shared interests.

This site is FREE for people posting their innovations.

Organizations that wish to solicit innovators for a commercial purpose must sign up as a corporate member.

We request that you only post information that you have already made public before or that you have protected through a patent. It is advisable to take independent legal counsel before publishing a sophisticated innovation online.

If you are planning to patent your innovation please note that publishing an unpatented innovation on the web may take away your ability to patent it later. For more information please visit the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs, Trademarks for India, United States Patent and Trademark Office, The UK Patent Office or the relevant intellectual property authority for your region.

If you are unsure about how much information to disclose it may be best to describe just the merits of your innovation and the needs it fulfills without giving away its inner workings.

On our part, as stated in the terms and conditions that govern this site, Ideawicket does not claim any ownership rights in any ideas, innovations, inventions, designs, projects, solutions or related content posted by users on the site.

Our goal is to sign up corporations that are interested in sourcing some of their innovation requirements from people outside their organization. As and when companies sign up for this feature, their name will appear in the 'Companies' list and 'Post Innovation' section. You will then be able to share your innovation with them. For now you can add the companies you are interested in as tags.

Ideawicket is only free for innovators. Businesses, not for profit organizations, research institutes, incubation centers, investors and anyone other than an individual innovator must sign up for a corporate account (which is a paid feature).

The only exception is if you are from the Press or Media and would like to contact an innovator to feature their innovation. You do not need to sign up for a corporate account for that.

You can choose to make your innovation ‘public’ (visible to all) or you can mark it as ‘private’ and decide who can access it.

To share an innovation please click on the 'Share with Friends' link. You can fill out either usernames or email addresses of friends that you wish to share an innovation with. If your friends are members of Ideawicket, they will receive a private message with a link to the innovation, else they will receive an email informing them about the innovation.

Please ‘Mark as inappropriate’ any offensive content you encounter on the site. It will be brought to our administrator’s attention who can then remove it. You can also report it to us by filling out the ‘Report Abuse’ form at the bottom of the page.

You should block the user by clicking on the ‘Block’ button present in the private message.

Please do not post personal details like your phone number, address, bank account details, credit card details or social security number. Ideawicket is free for innovators and you will never be contacted by Ideawicket asking for your bank, credit card details or other personal information. Please beware of impersonators.

If someone’s private message seems fishy please block the user by clicking on the ‘Block’ button and let us know through the ‘Report abuse’ form.
