Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a system configured to manage and track intellectual property (IP). Some embodiments of this system may include: an application programming interface (API) having access to a web-accessible IP database; an artificial intelligence (AI) or learning engine coupled to the API and operating the API to query the web-accessible IP database for orphaned IP assets that have become abandoned, expired, and/or public domain assets; and a user-collaboration platform. Some embodiments of this platform may: receive information from the API concerning the orphaned IP assets found by the API; store the information concerning each of the orphaned IP assets on a blockchain data structure; provide access to the orphaned IP assets stored on the blockchain data structure to users via a network; and record user activity concerning user access, development, sharing, and/or modification of the orphaned IP assets on the blockchain data structure.
