Abstract: The present invention envisions a comprehensive platform (the “IPwe Platform”) that utilizes blockchain and smart contracts to address and improve upon the significant deficiencies that currently exist in the global IP market (patents, trademarks, copyrights, etc.). The objective of the IPwe Platform is creating transparency in (i) patent ownership, (ii) patent identification and (iii) patent coverage and value. In addition, by providing the network, a guaranteed buy program can be initiated that provides specific guaranteed value to intellectual property assets listed by verified brokers.

Abstract: The present invention envisions a comprehensive platform (the “IPWe Platform”) that utilizes blockchain and smart contracts to address and improve upon the significant deficiencies that currently exist in the global IP market (patents, trademarks, copyrights, etc.). The objective of the IPWe Platform is creating transparency in (i) patent ownership, (ii) patent identification and (iii) patent coverage and value. By eliminating the current inefficiencies that exist in the patent market, IPWe seeks to reduce the liquidity discount currently associated with the patent asset class. IPWe will transform the patent market by initially making available a transparent immutable and distributed ownership ledger for patents (the “IPWe Registry”) that will serve as the basis for the IPWe Platform that will increase liquidity and facilitate transaction gains in the patent asset class.

Abstract: The invention is a decentralized and autonomous market for intellectual property financing. Through the use of a blockchain network and complex algorithms, the platform will allow intellectual property owners to present their registrations and secure funding based on the strength of their intellectual property assets. Importantly, the system can use historical data to provide complex metrics to both investors and business owners and reduce the risks associated with such a relationship.

Abstract: The invention is a payment system of using any valuable asset, including fiat currency, to pay or fund an ICO, crowdfunding, or presale. Alternatively, any commodity money could be used to pay or fund an ICO, crowdfunding, or presale. Alternatively, any tangible or intangible good (such as any commodity) could be used to pay or fund an ICO, crowdfunding, or presale. A person (or company or any entity) can directly pay fiat currency to participate, pay, or fund the ICO, crowdfunding, or presale. The person can pay through any medium, such as using credit card, PayPal, check, wire transfer, calling on the phone to give credit card information, bartering, etc.

Abstract: Using the private blockchain, the present invention will permit simultaneous cooperation between multiple, worldwide Patent Offices when reviewing patent applications by having a single repository for 1. prior art submitted by the applicant; 2. prior art identified by the various examiners at the NPOs; and 3. third parties. All prior art for a given patent in examination is stored in one repository (such as provided by the present invention) and it is (at first) controlled by cooperating national patent Offices. The repository can be controlled by other parties that are not national patent Offices. Using the private blockchain, the present invention will permit a patent Owner or Applicant to select worldwide patent law firms to draft and prosecute a patent application in worldwide countries. The patent Owner or Applicant can select which countries he wants to file patent applications in.

Abstract: The invention is a patent risk management system, to control patent prosecution costs. There will be different kinds of patent insurance: 1. Patent application insurance and 2. Patent Issuance Insurance. The amount of the fee paid by Applicant is not fixed. This amount is flexible, based on how much insurance protection the Applicant wants.

Abstract: The analytics embodiment uses artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, predictive analytics and computerized analytics. The analytics embodiment generates patent analytics and intelligence to analyze and value patents. The analytics embodiment can have smartphone applications. Smartphone applications can provide notifications, alerts, reminders, etc. Smartphone applications can include key features, including navigation tools. The analytics embodiment can have a social media feature, so users can connect with each other (as in Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) and/or follow other users (like in Twitter, LinkedIn and Medium). The analytics embodiment will facilitate crowdsource functionality for validity, relevance and valuation. A corresponding IP platform could allow startups to partner with big companies, to get mentorship and industry partnerships. This can help the startups with connections and eventually get acquired. This is common at incubators/accelerators.

Abstract: We are tokenizing patent ownership. This opens up transactions that simply are not possible today. The special purpose vehicle (SPV) is like a ‘trust’ that exists to hold and execute the patent transactions on the owner side without the owner being involved. The smart contract has self-executing elements and handles trust issues. The invention utilizes artificial intelligence (AI).

Abstract: It is possible for a cryptocurrency company to issue an initial amount of tokens (such as 40 million tokens). Then there will be a second amount of tokens in reserve (such as 60 million tokens in reserve). The cryptocurrency company will issue the remaining 60 million tokens only per some formula, based on performance metrics being met.

Abstract: Qscore is the most advanced tool available for ranking the potential commercial value of a patent or a portfolio of patents. Other ranking methods typically rely heavily on a patent's reference graph (citations to/from other patents). Qscore is far more sophisticated: using data mining tokenization techniques, Qscore takes into account multiple factors correlated with patent value. This document generally describes the method used to assign a quality score to each patent, which is used to bias the ranking of the results returned from the keyword-based searching in the analytics embodiment of the present invention. This quality score, denoted by Qscore, is designed to identify the patents that are not only relevant to the user's query but also possess some additional, query independent, quality characteristics. Consequently, Qscore can be considered as an information filtering aid—designed to identify the “good” information from a “sea” of information.

Abstract: The present invention is a patent search and analytics software tool (Zuse) that finds prior art for each claim limitation/element. The software automatically breaks up every claim into individual claim limitations. For example, our software can automatically break up a claim into about five (5) separate, different claim limitations/elements. Then, it can find the best prior art for each of the five (5) separate, different claim limitations/elements. This is very helpful when you cannot find a prior art reference for only part of a claim. Also, the software finds the best prior art for the entire claims. Our software also includes non-patent literature (NPL) searching. ZUSE identifies relevant prior art by taking 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.
