    Abstract: A method and system for the online promotion of intellectual property includes providing an Internet host station with at least one database that is connectable via the Internet to consumer stations and industry stations. The database includes a plurality of intellectual property items and a description of each intellectual property item. At least one of the intellectual property items is selected by a consumer station and the description associated with the selected intellectual property item is viewed at the consumer station. Portions of the description may be confidential and therefore not normally viewed at the consumer station. Feedback data is sent from the consumer station to the host station. The feedback data includes consumer opinion information of the selected intellectual property item based at least in part on the description of the selected intellectual property item.

  • Patent number: 8566112
    Abstract: The electronic realty transaction system (ERTS) automates real estate processes and provides web-based accessibility to residential, commercial, and land markets. The system will provide a “one-stop-shop” for all real estate related transactions and will include a detailed tracking and history of customer transactions for the realtors. The system will provide the ability to charge, collect, and track payments for real estate related transactions. ERTS includes an electronic contract generator (ECG) that pulls information from multiple sources and automatically identifies end-user requests for services and ultimately enables a property request (i.e. contract) to be developed using auto populating techniques.

  • Publication number: 20100332548
    Abstract: One or more model elements may be extracted from a model. Coding patterns may be generated based on the extracted model elements. The coding patterns may be translated into statements, such as Structured Query Language (SQL) statements, which may be executed to instantiate at least a portion of a database. The database may be used to store, edit and/or query data that is arranged according to the model. The model may define a modeling language specification, such that the stored data may define various models that comply with the modeling language specification. Accordingly, the database may be queried to analyze the contents of the modeling-language compliant models.
