## Abstract

The Ideaboard comes in two sizes and is truly portable with multiple whiteboard sheets fitted into a ring binder as opposed to the traditional whiteboard that are like pieces of furniture and can not be moved easily. It provides you multiple surfaces, as against one writing surface on a traditional or wheeled whiteboard. Due to its design the board can be used in different positions, Collaboration Mode (Standing up), Writing mode- (folded over in half) and Carry mode (Closed) so that you can have the Ideaboard with you anywhere you go. Available in two sizes—the Medium, and the Mini, it is your personal workspace.

## Claims

### Claim 1

Design of having a ring binder to hold multiple dry erase sheets in a binder format.

### Claim 2

Design use and placement of the elastic strap: to secure the sheets in place, to create collaboration mode and keep the board sturdy in collaboration mode.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1, 2, 3)

Portability of Ideaboard—both the Medium size and Mini size and all of its Contents—multiple dry erase whiteboard sheets, clear dry erase PVC sheets and clear dry erase PVC template pockets.
Dependent on claim 1, 2, 3

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

According to claim 3, the dry erase whiteboard sheets are coated PVC sheets.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

According to claim 3, the clear dry erase PVC Template pockets are used for editing printed templates placed within, since the surface property of the pocket is dry erase.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

According to claim 3, the clear dry erase PVC sheets prevent excessive smudging from occurring when the whiteboard sheets rub against one another and allow the user to make secondary edits on top of the whiteboard sheets.
