  • Methods and systems for intellectual property management
    Publication number: 20040049482
    Abstract: Method and system for managing intellectual property rights use a first computer (901) with database (210), template documents (220), final documents (230). The database (210) has representations of works (W), representations of applicable rights (R), and states (S). The first computer (901) communicates with a second computer (902) to derive the final documents (230)—such as license contracts—from templates (220). A functional statement (F) in the final document (230) relates the representations to the applicable right. The statement is also used to calculate indicators—such as royalties—to be forwarded to a third computer (903).
