Press Release Body = FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Melbourne May 20, 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 and 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 web
based service like this in Australia that 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 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 focused to service industry groups related to the invention process and
attempts to provide as much opportunity for Inventors, Manufacturers and even
Retailers.
