A specification creator auction method for disclosing papers and patent materials relating to an invention and providing a predetermined service to the document contributor and the member by the member auction, a server capable of executing the method, and the method to the server It relates to the program to be executed.

  Conventionally, when a researcher has made an invention in a research institution such as a university, the researcher has not been very active in publishing the invention as a paper exclusively at an academic society or the like and granting it a patent right.

  On the other hand, in recent years, technology transfer organizations have been established in some research institutions such as universities with the intellectual property strategy promotion plan by the government and the movement of universities to become independent administrative corporations. Patent applications based on inventions made by researchers at universities and the like have been filed by patent attorneys.

  However, since research institutions such as universities do not have a wide range of technical fields and a large number of inventions in the same technical field, even if a technology transfer agency is established, it belongs to or contracts with the technology transfer agency. The limited number of professionals such as patent attorneys cannot deal with all technical fields, and as a result, poor quality patent applications without sufficient invention analysis and detailed specification reviews may be made. Many.

  By the way, with regard to fees, there are many cases in which research institutions such as universities request discounts and volunteers regardless of the quality content of the specifications when entrusting application work to patent offices. There is also a problem that the priority of the application projects of other research institutions tends to be low. As a result, procedural delays and deterioration in quality are likely to occur, which is an obstacle to building a good relationship in the medium to long term between research institutions such as universities and patent offices.

  On the other hand, in recent years, the number of professionals such as patent attorneys has been increasing due to attempts to increase the number of experts by the government with the aim of improving services to the public.

However, the technical fields that the specialists are good at vary widely, especially for young patent attorneys who have recently acquired sales qualifications and who do not have existing relationships with customers. This is physically and economically difficult.
