Intellectual Property Pre-Market Engine (IPPME)

摘要

The present invention, known as the Intellectual Property Pre-Market Engine (IPPME) relates generally to the field of automated entity, data processing, system control, and data communications, and more specifically to an integrated method, system, and apparatus supporting transactions among buyers and sellers of intellectual property, especially intellectual property holdings that are “in progress” in the sense that they are only partially complete, or that they not yet authorized by regulatory bodies. The IPPME also supports options to be transacted on top of the underlying intellectual property holdings, and permits confidential intellectual property holdings to be monetized while respecting requirements for secrecy.
