New Australian Website Helps Inventors to Showcase their Innovations and Connect with Developers, Manufacturers and Distributors.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Melbourne May 22, 2006

INVENTConnect, Australia's newest provider of invention promotion and
introduction services for Inventors with both unpatented ideas and patented inventions has released a totally new website that actually provides more of a complete range of invention promotion and submission services.

David Craker, Operations Manager at INVENTConnect says "Our first
priority with our new website has always been to provide our Inventor
clients with high quality promotion and submission services at an economical price, and have worked hard to employ innovative ways to present their designs using the active power of the web and to assist them find new developers with effective and creative manufacturing methods."

He also said "We bring that same process to the redesign of our new website. We want to enrich the experience of those people visiting our
website by improving the navigation and present greater readability for our inventors and other readers alike."

Jennifer Craker, also of INVENTConnect said "We undertook internal research and held a number of focus groups with inventors and businesses during the early part of 2006. This was really to identify how we could better meet the promotion and marketing needs of all the parties involved with support of our clients."

Jennifer says "A number of Australian Inventors, Patent Attorneys, Designers, Retailers and Individual Businesses were interviewed and most indicated that they felt that better access to more low cost online opportunities were needed in order to present their ideas,
inventions and new release products."

She added "We all truly felt that the views and suggestions made by all the parties involved should be considered in constructing something different and even quite unique in the industry in Australia and it became clear that a secure website would be the best vehicle to represent the needs of everyone concerned and would also be able to protect their various interests."

INVENTConnect as a result have developed a secure Invention Profile
service that they call their New Invention Showcase which provides
Inventors and Businesses three types of service areas.

Level 1 Area - An Invention Summary Showcase for Early Stage Inventors
where a basic presentation area is provided free of charge and that
simply outlines a summary to simply describe the basic benefits, features or functions of an early stage invention or idea.

The Level 1 area is really designed to assist Inventors and encourage manufacturers, developers and others to visit and register their details online and to provide feedback and support for unpatented Ideas and Inventions without the risks of disclosing all the relevant details that may limit the ability of prosecuting a patent down the track.

Level 2 Area - This is a more specific Invention Showcase area that highlights the Invention or Product where it is either under a Patent Pending or Patent Status or where the Product or Invention is in need of additional support or further development.

Level 2 is also for Inventions or Products that can be openly demonstrated to the public and often where a working prototype is available for presentation. These are commonly items that are more complete and already at a stage for manufacture or merchandising…

The level 2 Area offers 2 separate stages for presentation…

Stage One, level 2 is provided as a free service with minimum presentation and support whilst Stage 2, Level 2 is a fee for service where an Inventor can add multimedia files for active viewing and presentation as well as also providing an email account for direct
contact by any feedback and interested parties.

The fee service also provides limited reporting and other services that are not provided under the free service…

The 3rd and final level is another free Online Product and Service Listing that is designed for those Inventors, Businesses or Individuals that wish to promote their new finished and released products and businesses or for wholesalers and retailers that would like to promote or advertise to the general public.

David Craker, says ""In the product section we showcase the products
from our three core business areas and we believe that the New Invention Showcase is the first service like this in Australia that truly addresses the needs for Inventors and Manufacturers of new products at the very same time. We have tried to lay out the information so that Manufacturers and Retailers can view details of the Inventions and Products on offer and at the same time quickly locate the relevant contact representative in their interest area."

He also added "We have been excited to find that this new website has only been live for a little over a week and we already have had direct response and significant interest from Inventors and other Manufacturers here in Australia as well as from Inventors and Distributors in the UK, Italy, USA and also Canada."

Mr Craker said "We have made available the Invention Showcase Areas, an Inventor Forum, Free Business and Product Listings, Referral and
Profile Listings for Patent Attorneys, Designers, Prototypers and other IP Professionals, Press Releases and Industry News, a Members Newsletter, Information about Trade Shows and Seminars, Links to Inventor Resources and much more information directly related to assisting and supporting inventors to research or meet and exchange ideas and express their views.."

On any assessment, the website at http://www.inventconnect.com.au has
largely been designed and focussed to service industry groups related
to the invention process and attempts to provide as much opportunity for Inventors, Manufacturers and even Retailers.
