Patents Assigned to Caerus Institute LLC
  • Publication number: 20240320771
    Abstract: A method for utilizing a patent distributed ledger includes a computing device of a computing infrastructure obtaining an indication of potential use of a set of patents by a user computing device and issuing a bilateral licensing request to the user computing device. The method further includes interpreting a request from the user computing device to cause a license of the set of patents for use by the user computing device to produce licensee information and identifying a non-fungible token (NFT) associated with the set of patents. The method further includes establishing agreed license terms and agreed payment terms of a smart contract to produce a new smart contract and causing generation of a new block with the new smart contract for a blockchain of the patent distributed ledger associated with the NFT.

  • Publication number: 20230145257
    Abstract: A method includes a computing device of a computing infrastructure interpreting a request from a patent owner computing device to make available for licensing a set of patents to produce patent basics of a smart contract for the set of patents, The method further includes verifying, with a patent issuance computing device of the computing infrastructure, validity of the patent basics. When the patent basics are valid, the method further includes establishing available license terms of the smart contract for the set of patents, establishing available payment terms of the smart contract for the set of patents, and causing generation of a non-fungible token associated with the smart contract in the patent distributed ledger.
