Abstract: A system and method for a patent search and analytics software tool that finds prior art for each claim limitation/element by breaking up claims into individual claim limitations. Once the claims are separated, the system finds the best prior art for each of the individual separate, different claim limitations/elements. Additionally, the software finds the best prior art for entire claims, including non-patent literature (NPL) searching. The system takes into account the limitations of the claim under consideration (query claim of query patent), the text of the art, the link structure of the citation network, and the patent classification and then constructs a network that consists of two types of nodes: (i) the art (patents and non-patent literature) and the (ii) classes of the patent classification. Each art node is linked to all the art nodes that it cites and is linked to all the classification nodes that it belongs to.

Abstract: Patents are important innovation assets and can provide an array of insights into their owners' resilience towards changing markets, and their owners' potential to build and maintain competitive edges on the current markets. Yet, patents do not play an important role on the company balance sheet. In fact, the value of the vast majority of patents is never assessed. With growing global rates for intangible value, the minimum value encompassed in patents needs to be revealed to make patent value and patent positions quantifiable. This paper discusses a novel and fully automated income-based valuation approach for the world's patents, aiming to serve as a quick, robust, standardized and scalable benchmark for financial analysis. The approach leverages exponential technologies to safeguard that all patents are undergoing the same degree of review even if millions of documents are assessed in parallel.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for the purchase of a physical athletic jersey and its associated NFT and how it could be implemented in both the physical world and the Metaverse. Within the Metaverse, the consumer's avatar wears the jersey and can attend virtual social events to increase the value and price of the NFT. Once the NFT is developed, it can be sold and licensed. Within the physical world, the NFT can be shown at participating venues for the consumer to receive promotions or discounts. Along with the physical jersey and NFT is a corresponding insurance policy, which ensures that if the player associated with the jersey and NFT is traded or switches teams, the consumer can receive either a new player's jersey on the same team or the original player's jersey on the new team.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method of patent tokenization that provides solutions to the limitations and drawbacks of the current patent system. The present invention implements a procedure to limit exposure and unlock new revenue opportunities through tokenization. The present invention uses blockchain technology to track chain of title, provenance, and can capture and enforce all transactions and encumbrances through smart contracts. Access to this data enables the present invention to introduce additional liquidity into the asset class by tokenizing the backend of relevant transactions, such as patent licenses, patent lending, etc. The present invention applies blockchain technology at the patent market level to transform how IP assets are obtained, managed and transacted. Permissioned Blockchain allows multiple competing parties to operate from the same common database without revealing their data, resulting in increased trust, control and privacy in the transactional process.

Abstract: We are tokenizing patent ownership. This opens up transactions that simply are not possible today.
