The computer method includes receiving, from the user via the user interface, an order to exchange a first quantity of cryptographic currency held by the user at a user wallet memory address for a second quantity of asset tokens representing at least a fractional interest in the proprietary rights asset, writing data corresponding to a pending transfer of the second quantity of asset tokens to the user wallet address, and receiving data corresponding to the first quantity of cryptographic currency into a transaction wallet memory address. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer method for secure transfer of a proprietary rights asset blockchain token representing an interest in a proprietary rights asset, comprising: displaying at least summary information corresponding to a proprietary rights asset to a user on a physical electronic display according to a display list defining at least a portion of a user interface; receiving, from the user via the user interface, an order to exchange a first quantity of cryptographic currency held by the user at a user wallet memory address for a second quantity of asset tokens, each representing at least a fractional interest in the proprietary rights asset; writing data corresponding to a pending transfer of the second quantity of asset tokens to the user wallet address; and receiving data corresponding to the first quantity of cryptographic currency into a transaction wallet memory address. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The computer method of claim 1, wherein displaying at least summary information comprises: displaying a field for the user to enter the first quantity of cryptographic currency; further comprising: receiving user input of the first quantity of cryptographic currency; and calculating the second quantity of proprietary rights asset tokens based on an exchange rate; and wherein displaying the at least summary information further comprises displaying the second quantity of proprietary rights asset tokens. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The computer method of claim 2, further comprising: calculating the exchange rate based on relative supply and demand of the cryptographic currency and the proprietary rights asset tokens. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The computer method of claim 2, further comprising: calculating the exchange rate based on a supply and demand of the cryptographic currency and a specified price of the proprietary asset tokens. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The computer method of claim 1, wherein displaying at least summary information comprises: displaying a field for the user to enter the second quantity of asset tokens; receiving user input of the second quantity; calculating the first quantity of cryptographic currency based on an exchange rate; and displaying the first quantity of cryptographic currency. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The computer method of claim 1, wherein displaying at least summary information comprises: displaying a field for the user to enter a committed bid price of the asset tokens; wherein receiving the order to exchange the first quantity of cryptographic currency for the second quantity of asset tokens includes receiving the committed bid price; and wherein the smart contract includes the commitment to sell at least a portion of the asset tokens at the committed bid price. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The computer method of claim 1, wherein displaying at least summary information comprises displaying a committed selling price; and wherein the smart contract includes the commitment to sell at least a portion of the asset tokens at the committed selling price. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The computer method of claim 1, further comprising: generating a random or pseudorandom deep web address for an instance of the transaction wallet; allocating computer memory corresponding to the transaction wallet having the random or pseudorandom deep web address; loading, from a secret address, the second quantity of asset tokens into the transaction wallet; and transmitting the random or pseudorandom deep web address to the user interface. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The computer method of claim 8, further comprising: transferring the first quantity of cryptographic currency from the user wallet to the random or pseudorandom deep web address. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The computer method of claim 8, further comprising: transferring the cryptographic currency from the transaction wallet to a secret wallet; and deallocating the computer memory at the random or pseudorandom deep web network address. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The computer method of claim 1, wherein the cryptographic currency comprise value carried by a public blockchain. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The computer method of claim 11, wherein the cryptographic currency comprise at least one transaction history verifiable by the public blockchain. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The computer method of claim 11, wherein the cryptographic currency comprise fungible value. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The computer method of claim 1, wherein the cryptographic currency comprise at least one transaction history carried by a permissioned blockchain. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The computer method of claim 1, further comprising: fulfilling a smart contract to validate the asset tokens. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The computer method of claim 1, wherein at least a fractional interest in the proprietary rights asset comprises at least fractional ownership of the proprietary rights asset. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The computer method of claim 1, wherein at least a fractional interest in the proprietary rights asset comprises at least fractional rights to a revenue stream from the proprietary rights asset. ### Claim at position 18 18-25. (canceled) ### Claim 26 A computer method for obtaining a license to a proprietary right, comprising: disclosing identity and related information via a graphical user interface (GUI) on an electronic device networked to a server computer; obtaining a specified number of blockchain proprietary rights asset tokens, each token representing a fractional interest in a proprietary right, by swapping a cryptographic currency value for the proprietary rights asset tokens via the GUI; disclosing an intent to take a license via the GUI; entering, via the GUI, an agreement to license terms; and swapping, via the GUI, the specified number of proprietary rights asset tokens for one or more license tokens; wherein the license token carries a contract granting a right to engage in an activity that infringes the proprietary right. ### Claim 27 (depends on 26) The computer method for obtaining a license to a proprietary right of claim 26, further comprising: establishing a user account with an intellectual property exchange, using the GUI. ### Claim 28 (depends on 26) The computer method for obtaining a license to a proprietary right of claim 26, wherein swapping the proprietary rights asset tokens for one or more license tokens causes the license tokens to be burned. ### Claim 29 (depends on 26) The computer method for obtaining a license to a proprietary right of claim 26, wherein swapping the proprietary rights asset tokens for one or more license tokens causes the license tokens to be recycled into a pool available for purchase. ### Claim at position 23 30-152.
