Patent number: 9846694Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for using of keywords, categories, patent related publications, and other literature to profile users are provided. Some examples provide a profiling tool which enables users to self-describe using, for example, keywords, patent related publications, and articles. In other examples, the tool assigns search-based profiling information. The profiling tool using citation based patent related search techniques to suggest additional keywords and/or patent publications for augmenting the user's search-based profile information. In some examples, the IP Invention Management System (IPIMS) uses these profiles to distribute workload, for example, to route patent assets to be reviewed or be improved upon as ripe for invention. In addition, other applications may use these profiles to offer other types of matching services, such as social mapping.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2011Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: IVP Holdings III LLCInventor: Daniel B.

Patent number: 9798767Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for facilitating searching for patent related literature are provided. Some examples provide a Patent Related Publication Search Engine (“PRPSE”), which enables users and or programs through the use of an application programming interface (“API”) to iteratively find patent related publications such as issued patents and patent application publications. In typical operation, based upon input text, the PRPSE determines predominant keywords found in the text and locates a set of patent related publications most closely related to these determined keywords as search results. In some examples, the PRPSE determines the set of patent related publications most closely related to these determined keywords both by full text searching of a corpus of patent related publications for all of the patent related publications that contain the predominant keywords and by finding all correlated patent related publications through citation analysis.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2011Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: IVP Holding III, LLCInventor: Daniel B.

Patent number: 9798753Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for managing and using search snapshot histories are provided. Some examples provide a Search Snapshot Management Engine (“SSME”), which enables users and or programs through the use of an application programming interface (“API”) to define and manipulate search snapshots. In typical operation, an iteration of a search result is associated with a search snapshot history. A rendering of the search snapshot history may be provided to assist in navigation to other potentially related search iterations and to define new search states for performing searches. In some examples, the SSME may be used to provide search histories to teams for reviewing patent related publications and other types of literature.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2011Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: IVP Holding III, LLCInventor: Daniel B.

Patent number: 9760586Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for managing and using search result snapshot histories are provided. Some examples provide a Search Snapshot Management Engine (“SSME”), which enables users and or programs through the use of an application programming interface (“API”) to define and manipulate search result snapshots. In typical operation, an iteration of a search result is associated with a search result snapshot history. In some examples, the SSME may be used to provide search histories to teams for reviewing patent related publications and other types of literature. In some examples, the SSME promotes cooperative sharing of search result snapshot histories. In other examples, the SSME promotes competitive sharing of search result snapshot histories. One or more designated snapshots may be used to create new or merged search result snapshot histories.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2011Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: IVP Holdings III LLCInventor: Daniel B.

Patent number: 9353514Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for building, maintaining, and/or renovating buildings using reconfigurable, intelligent, and/or communicating components and connectors are provided. These reconfigurable building components and connectors are configured to communicate with each other and with the internal structures and services of a building, using various protocols, for more efficient reconfiguration, management, and maintenance as well as safety. Examples provide a Building Configuration and Management System which provides a set of “smart” components, connectors, and protocols and a Building Control System that connects all internal building structures and services together in ways that allow them to communicate their location, state, and other information to each other and to other entities and to control them, potentially automatically. The BCMS facilitates, among other things, more efficient reconfiguration of these structures and services without demolition.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2014Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: IVP Holdings III LLCInventors: David Wine, Wei Yang, Agnes Sauvage

Example embodiments provide an investment tool which allows users to invest currency in disclosures, ideas, topics, inventions, patent applications, patents, etc. which they determine will ultimately be successful. In one embodiment, the inventions are organized by schema to enable participants to invest or otherwise participate according to particular aspects. These aspects are typically areas in which the participant has or will have established a reputation for successful results in accordance with some future outcome.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2010Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: IVP Holdings III LLCInventors: Edward K.
