Patent number: 9298709Abstract: A system (10) to visualize data from an IP rights database as a geographic map having a viewable area. A map display change monitor (23) receives a map change message in relation to a change in the viewable area of the geographic map and generates a display change notification, which includes the geographic coordinates of the current viewable area of the geographic map. An IP rights generator (37) generates a list of IP rights from the IP rights database, in which the geographic address of at least one owner of each IP right is within the geographic area defined by the current map coordinates and also restricts the list of IP rights based on one or more restriction criteria related to the IP rights to form a restricted list of IP rights. An information display generator (26) generates and displays one or more data visualizations derived from the restricted list of IP rights and updates data visualizations upon receiving each successive display change notification.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2012Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: Practice Insight PTY LTDInventor: Thomas Haines

Publication number: 20160055603Abstract: System and process for filing a request with an administrative body, the system having a communications interface and a server. A primary module of the server is able to receive data about an IP right. This data is then used by a gateway to access information on the IP right. A verification module verifies the ability to validly file the request based on the information accessed by the gateway. The primary module is operatively coupled to a communications module. The communications module is able to send a message via the communications interface to file the request with the administrative body. The communications module is also able to receive electronic acknowledgement via the communications interface in response to the message sent. The electronic acknowledgement is passed on to the primary module. After receiving the electronic acknowledgement, the primary module is able to issue a notification confirming the filing of the request.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2015Publication date: February 25, 2016Inventor: Thomas Haines

Publication number: 20150213569Abstract: A process for producing an IP application exchange data set for a given party in relation to a jurisdiction using a database containing records of destination IP applications and records of source IP applications. Each destination IP application is associated with a source IP and each record identifies the party that filed the IP application and jurisdiction in which the IP application was filed. A data set generation module generates an IP application exchange data set for a given party in relation to a jurisdiction. The case exchange data set contains two lists of parties. The first list consists of parties that have filed at least one destination IP application in the jurisdiction for which the associated source IP application was filed by the given party. The second list consists of parties that have filed at least one source IP application in the jurisdiction for which an associated destination IP application was filed by the given party.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2015Publication date: July 30, 2015Applicant: Practice Insight Pty LtdInventor: Thomas Haines
