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: 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. The present invention generates additional revenue streams for the providers of sports apparel and collectible memorabilia, through provenance verification and NFT value augmentation, so that both sport apparel sellers and buyers may gain revenue streams apart from the simple sale of the article at POS.

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. 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: The present invention is a system and method of tokenization, functioning as a distribution model for IP title and validity insurance. The present invention provides numerous solutions to problems associated with current IP ownership models, including the ability to have divisible ownership of IP. Through divisible ownership, applicants or inventors are able to buy and sell interests in the IP at any time. Additional solutions offered by the present invention include: title and validity insurance that can be based on machine metrics; simplified financing; facilitating cooperation between multiple parties for IP development; and a streamlined user friendly IP transactional platform. The present invention offers securitization & digitization of the IP space, which will allow organizations to maximize monetization of their IP and facilitate transactions through increased transparency & streamlined contractual processes.

Abstract: The invention is a platform for various patent related activities, including the budgeting and payment of annuity payments associated with various patent offices. The platform provides a network for uploading patent information and providing, among other things, budgets, multi-currency payment of options, and reminders for annuity payments. An AI component provides metrics on the necessity for payment certain patent annuities.

Abstract: The invention deals with defensive patent aggregation, partnering with an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to create an independent buyer of IP assets focused on technology domains that are highly relevant to OEMs and Suppliers. A special purpose vehicle (SPV) is used as 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). The defensive patent aggregation is not limited to a specific industry and can be used in any technology industry.

Abstract: The present invention is based on simple transparent pricing based on entity size, asset and revenue profile, and provides access to the best technologies at a very low cost. The present invention demonstrates to the market and FSI that there is a better way, and is a massive improvement on existing models like pools (like MPEG), defensive licensors (like LOT) and aggregator models (like RPX and AST) with real benefits to all.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method of a patent transactional platform that provides solutions to limitations and drawbacks of current patent transactional platforms. The platform of the present invention is an electronic data room that facilitates communications, record keeping and transactions, known as a deal room. Access to the deal room is designated by patent owner representative. Sale agreements and disclosure schedules can also be accessed in the deal room. The patent owning entity takes steps to upload the patent or patents available for sale using a patent verification process.
