Abstract
A comprehensive platform for merchandising intellectual property (IP) and conducting IP transactions is disclosed. A standardized data collection method enables IP assets to be characterized, rated and valuated in a consistent manner. Project management, workflow and data security functionality enable consistent, efficient and secure interactions between the IP Marketplace participants throughout the IP transaction process. Business rules, workflows, valuation models and rating methods may be user defined or based upon marketplace, industry or technology standards.
Claims19
A computer-based method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer-based system for intellectual property (IP) commercialization, a channel search request from a user via a channel guide interface;
- searching, by the computer-based system and based on the channel search request, channel data to determine search results, wherein the channel data comprises at least one of channel metadata, channel registration data, channel attributes and channel content;
- presenting, by the computer-based system, the search results to the user in the channel guide interface;
- receiving, by the computer-based system, first input comprising selection of a channel from the user;
- in response to the receiving the first input, presenting, by the computer-based system and based on the first input, first additional data;
- compiling, by the computer-based system, a first statistic based on the first additional data, wherein the first statistic comprises a frequency of usage of the channel and negotiated terms associated with the channel;
- and
- generating, by the computer-based system, a report comprising the negotiated terms and a calculation of a commission based upon the negotiated terms.
A system comprising:
- a processor for IP commercialization;
- a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor;
- the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by the processor, a channel search request from a user via a channel guide interface;
- searching, by the processor and based on the channel search request, channel data to determine search results, wherein the channel data comprises at least one of channel metadata, channel registration data, channel attributes and channel content;
- presenting, by the processor, the search results to the user in the channel guide interface;
- receiving, by the processor, first input comprising selection of a channel from the user;
- in response to the receiving the first input, presenting, by the processor and based on the first input, first additional data;
- compiling, by the processor, a first statistic based on the first additional data, wherein the first statistic comprises a frequency of usage of the channel and negotiated terms associated with the channel;
- and
- generating, by the processor, a report comprising the negotiated terms and a calculation of a commission based upon the negotiated terms.
An article of manufacture including a tangible, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a computer-based system for IP commercialization, causes the computer-based system to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by the computer-based system, a channel search request from a user via a channel guide interface;
- searching, by the computer-based system and based on the channel search request, channel data to determine search results, wherein the channel data comprises at least one of channel metadata, channel registration data, channel attributes and channel content;
- presenting, by the computer-based system, the search results to the user in the channel guide interface;
- receiving, by the computer-based system, first input comprising selection of a channel from the user;
- in response to the receiving the first input, presenting, by the computer and based on the first input, first additional data;
- compiling, by the computer-based system, a first statistic based on the first additional data, wherein the first statistic comprises a frequency of usage of the channel and negotiated terms associated with the channel;
- and
- generating, by the computer-based system, a report comprising the negotiated terms and a calculation of a commission based upon the negotiated terms.
