1. A computer-based method comprising:
- determining, by a computer-based system for intellectual property (IP) commercialization, that no channel in a plurality of IP commercialization channels satisfies a user request for at least one of information and a service;
in response to the determining, providing, by the computer-based system, a channel request interface to the user;
receiving, by the computer-based system, new channel parameters via the channel request interface;
transmitting, by the computer-based system, a service provider channel solicitation to a service provider, wherein the service provider channel solicitation comprises the new channel parameters;
receiving, by the computer-based system, a service provider acceptance of the service provider channel solicitation, wherein the acceptance comprises service provider attributes;
saving, by the computer-based system, a new channel comprising the new channel parameters and the service provider attributes; and
providing, by the computer-based system, access to the new channel via an API.

20. 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:
-
determining, by the computer-based system, that no channel in a plurality of IP commercialization channels satisfy a user request for at least one of information and a service; in response to the determining, providing, by the computer-based system, a channel request interface to the user; receiving, by the computer-based system, new channel parameters via the channel request interface; transmitting, by the computer-based system, a service provider channel solicitation to a service provider, wherein the service provider channel solicitation comprises the new channel parameters; receiving, by the computer-based system, a service provider acceptance of the service provider channel solicitation, wherein the acceptance comprises service provider attributes; saving, by the computer-based system, a new channel comprising the new channel parameters and the service provider attributes; and providing, by the computer-based system, access to the new channel via an API.
