First Claim
Patent Images
1. An intellectual property (IP) marketplace system, comprising:
- a processor for IP commercialization;
a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor;
the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising;
displaying, by the processor and to a user, a plurality of channels in a channel guide interface;
in response to first input from the user, initiating, by the processor, a first channel operated by a first service provider;
receiving, by the processor and via a channel output API, first channel output;
determining, by the processor and based on the first channel output, a second channel operated by a second service provider;
initiating, by the processor, via a channel integration API and based on at least a portion of the first channel output, the second channel;
inputting, by the processor, the first channel output to the second channel;
receiving, by the processor and via the channel output API, second channel output; and
presenting, by the processor, the second channel output to the user.

Abstract
A comprehensive platform for merchandising intellectual property (IP) and conducting IP transactions is disclosed. A standardized data collection method enables IP assets to be characterized, rated and valuated in a consistent manner. Project management, workflow and data security functionality enable consistent, efficient and secure interactions between the IP Marketplace participants throughout the IP transaction process. Business rules, workflows, valuation models and rating methods may be user defined or based upon marketplace, industry or technology standards.

18. A computer-based method, comprising:
-
displaying, by a computer-based system for IP commercialization and to a user, a plurality of channels in a channel guide interface; in response to first input from the user, initiating, by the computer-based system, a first channel operated by a first service provider; receiving, by the computer-based system and via a channel output API, first channel output; determining, by the computer-based system and based on the first channel output, a second channel operated by a second service provider; initiating, by the computer-based system, via a channel integration API and based on at least a portion of the first channel output, the second channel; inputting, by the computer-based system, the first channel output to the second channel; receiving, by the computer-based system and via the channel output API, second channel output; and presenting, by the computer-based system, at least one of the first channel output and the second channel output to the user.

19. An article of manufacture including a tangible, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a computer-based system for IP commercialization, causes the computer-based system perform operations comprising:
-
displaying, by the computer-based system and to a user, a plurality of channels in a channel guide interface; in response to first input from the user, initiating, by the computer-based system, a first channel operated by a first service provider; receiving, by the computer-based system and via a channel output API, first channel output; determining, by the computer-based system and based on the first channel output, a second channel operated by a second service provider; initiating, by the computer-based system, via a channel integration API and based on at least a portion of the first channel output, the second channel; inputting, by the computer-based system, the first channel output to the second channel; receiving, by the computer-based system and via the channel output API, second channel output; and presenting, by the computer-based system, at least one of the first channel output and the second channel output to the user.
