3. A network-based intellectual property asset management system for storing, managing, disseminating and sharing intellectual property asset information among users over a communications network, comprising:
-
a server connected to the communications network and comprising a processor; a client processor based device to access the server over the communications network to enter, view, and edit an intellectual property information associated with a user; a centralized database connected to the communications network to store the intellectual property information of a plurality of users; wherein the server receives an intellectual property information from the user via the client processor based device, time stamps the intellectual property information received from the user, stores the intellectual property information with the time stamp and an identifier associated with a user in the centralized database, such that the intellectual property information and its associated time stamp and identifier cannot be separated; wherein the server transmits the intellectual property information and its associated time stamp and identifier to a third party for storage or publication to prevent tampering and to maintain integrity of each intellectual property information stored in the centralized database; and wherein the server issues a license to the user to combine the intellectual property information of another user with the intellectual property information of the user to generate a new intellectual property asset under terms established by the another user. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
