We love making new projects and working on new ideas. During the current scenario of online classes what we miss the most is the constant support of our teachers and professors. Imagine having a noble idea which you can't find on the internet but after working with your full dedication on your idea, you find that someone has already worked on the idea and published his work in a foreign language journal.
Even after you implement your idea, patenting something in India takes 4 to 6 years. Moreover, the process is long enough to make it impossible for new ones to complete without any support from previously experienced professionals.
There needs to be a platform where one can share their research and project idea so that others can check if someone is working on the idea before they can start. The platform needs to store data in an immutable manner so that if there is any day some issue regarding ownership of the intellectual property records can be checked to ensure who came up the idea first.
One challenge we faced was listening to events from the smart contract at the front end in order to refresh the page on completion of a transaction. With the help of mentors, we made a function to listen to the events using web3js at the front end.
