Novel method, system, and process for acquiring, evaluating, patenting, and marketing innovation

摘要

A system is coupled to a network to receive and process inventions submitted by innovators. Descriptions of the inventions are collected, categorized and evaluated. A database containing the evaluated descriptions is made available to potential users or customers of the inventions. The customers can review the inventions by category, or by searching for solutions to problems they would like to solve. Once an invention is identified, the customers can review evaluations including technical feasibility, commercial feasibility and patentability feasibility. A facilitator serves as an arbitrator between innovators and customers for the intellectual property in question. Licenses are also available, and the facilitator may take a percentage of any licenses concluded.
