1. A computer-based method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer-based system for intellectual property (IP) commercialization, a channel search request from a user via a channel guide interface;
determining, by the computer-based system, an IP commercialization workflow based on at least one of the user and the channel search request;
determining, by the computer-based system, a commercialization stage of an IP asset associated with the user;
searching, by the computer-based system and based on the channel search request and the IP commercialization workflow, channel data to determine search results comprising channels operated by service providers;
in response to the IP asset being in a first commercialization stage, presenting, by the computer-based system, first search results to the user in the channel guide interface, wherein the first commercialization stage comprises a disclosure of the IP asset; and
in response to the IP asset being in a second commercialization stage, presenting, by the computer-based system, second search results to the user in the channel guide interface, wherein the first search results and the second search results are different, and wherein the second commercialization stage comprises an offer for sale of the IP asset.

18. A system comprising:
-
an intellectual property (IP) commercialization processor, 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; receiving, by the processor, a channel search request from a user via a channel guide interface; determining, by the processor, an IP commercialization workflow based on at least one of the user and the channel search request; determining, by the processor, a commercialization stage of an IP asset associated with the user; searching, by the processor and based on the channel search request and the IP commercialization workflow, channel data to determine search results comprising channels operated by service providers; in response to the IP asset being in a first commercialization stage, presenting, by the processor, first search results to the user in the channel guide interface, wherein the first commercialization stage comprises a disclosure of the IP asset; and in response to the IP asset being in a second commercialization stage, presenting by the processor, second search results to the user in the channel guide interface, wherein the first search results and the second search results are different, and wherein the second commercialization stage comprises an offer for sale of the IP asset.

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 to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving, by the computer-based system, a channel search request from a user via a channel guide interface; determining, by the computer-based system, an IP commercialization workflow based on at least one of the user and the channel search request; determining, by the computer-based system, a commercialization stage of an IP asset associated with the user; searching, by the computer-based system and based on the channel search request and the IP commercialization workflow, channel data to determine search results comprising channels operated by service providers; in response to the IP asset being in a first commercialization stage, presenting, by the computer-based system, first search results to the user in the channel guide interface, wherein the first commercialization stage comprises a disclosure of the IP asset; and in response to the IP asset being in a second commercialization stage, presenting by the computer-based system, second search results to the user in the channel guide interface, wherein the first search results and the second search results are different, and wherein the second commercialization stage comprises an offer for sale of the IP asset.
