    Abstract: A system and method for bringing together potential co-inventors, developing a patent proposal, negotiating for rights in a patent draft, and writing a patent draft. A subscriber list is created and kept in a Subscriber Database. A pool of potential co-inventors is created by a Patent Proposal Server, which stores a patent proposal file. A Patent Proposal Web Server provides a forum for the initial inventor and the pool of potential co-inventors to further develop the patent proposal. The patent proposal becomes a patent draft file on a Patent Draft Server and the pool of potential co-inventors and the initial inventor negotiate for rights in the patent draft by means of a Rights Negotiation Server. The pool of co-inventors and the initial inventor co-write the patent draft by means of a Patent Draft Web Server. A Security System maintains levels of security in the system.
