Intellectual property assessments based on component business models

A system for intellectual property assessment based on a component business model, including:

• a component assessment module on a processor for assessing components in said component business model, including an interrogation unit for interrogating an entity with questions;
• a component detection module on said processor for receiving output from said component assessment module, said output including answers to said questions;
• a scoring unit of said component detection module for assigning scores to said components based on said output from said component assessment module;
• an analyzer of said component detection module for determining whether at least one of a gap, a duplication, a conflict, and an over-investment exists in at least one component of said components based on at least one of said output from said component assessment module and said scores;
• a transformation planning module on said processor for receiving output from said component detection module, said output including at least one of said scores and said at least one of said gap, said duplication, said conflict, and said over-investment;
• a table created by said transformation planning module based on said output from said component detection module, said table displaying said components and said at least one of said gap, said duplication, said conflict, and said over-investment;
• and
• a chart created by said transformation planning module based on said output from said component detection module, said chart including said components and said scores.

A program storage device readable by computer, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by said computer to perform a method of intellectual property assessment based on a component business model, said method comprising:

• assessing components in said component business model via a component assessment module, including interrogating an entity with questions;
• sending output from said component assessment module to a component detection module, said output including answers to said questions;
• assigning scores to said components via said component detection module based on said output from said component assessment module;
• identifying at least one of a gap, a duplication, a conflict, and an over-investment in at least one component of said components based on at least one of said output from said component assessment module and said scores;
• sending output from said component detection module to a transformation planning module, said output including said scores and said identifying of said at least one of said gap, said duplication, said conflict, and said over-investment;
• creating a table via said transformation planning module based on said output from said component detection module, said table displaying said components and said at least one of said gap, said duplication, said conflict, and said over-investment;
• and
• creating a chart via said transformation planning module based on said output from said component detection module, said chart including said components and said scores,
• said component assessment module, said component detection module, and said transformation planning module are executable on said computer.
