Porta Sophia

Why Donate to Porta Sophia ?

Cultural and historical aspects of psychedelics make prior art difficult to find. Porta Sophia identifies prior art in common and uncommon spaces and brings it together into a prior art library, providing one simple search tool for innovators and patent reviewers. Anyone working or interested in patents in psychedelics can use Porta Sophia. Patent examiners reviewing patent applications can have easy access to relevant prior art. Innovators can determine if what they are claiming is new or not, saving them time and money. And the general public and any interested parties can use this information to challenge a patent application by making third party submissions, or challenge patents after they are issued. Donating to Porta Sophia supports this work to protect the public domain, stimulate innovation, and support good patents to assure psychedelic therapies can one day be available at scale to the people who need them.
