(System sequence)
The processing sequence among the intellectual property information exchange support system 100 of the consortium information management company 10, the university 30, and the company 20 within the consortium will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.

  In each of the following steps, when accessing the intellectual property information exchange support system 100, a password is always input and authentication by the member information management unit 104 is performed.

(1) Intellectual Property Information Registration Step As shown in FIG. 6, the university 30 transmits the intellectual property information held by the current researcher to the intellectual property information exchange support system 100 (S1). The intellectual property information may be transmitted in a batch by a university representative, or each researcher may individually transmit only his / her own intellectual property information.

  The intellectual property information transmitted from the university 30 is received by the information receiving unit 105 and stored in the temporary storage memory 106 (S2).

  Next, the person in charge of the consortium information management company 10 scrutinizes the contents of the intellectual property information stored in the temporary storage memory 106 via the information registration unit 107 and finds what research information in which field. At the same time, the evaluation value and the publicity of information (whether it can be made public or should be kept secret) are set for the contents, and a so-called portfolio is created and input (S3).

  The information registration unit 107 officially registers the intellectual property information transmitted from the university 30 in the open intellectual property information database 102 or the closed intellectual property information database 101 according to the input portfolio (S4). ).

  When officially registering intellectual property information, the information registration unit 107 gives the member information management unit 104 a mileage as an incentive for providing information to a researcher who owns the intellectual property information. Via, it is added to the number of miles set in the researcher information 202a, 202b, 202c of the member information database 103.

(2) Intellectual Property Information Browsing Step As shown in FIG. 6, when the company 20 accesses the intellectual property information exchange support system 100 and requests a search for information (S5), the information providing unit 108 makes a contract level. The provision of intellectual property information is received within a range according to (S6, S7).

  Specifically, the information providing unit 108 acquires the contract level of the member information via the member information management unit 104, and narrows down the range of information that can be provided according to the contract level. Specifically, it is determined whether only the intellectual property information in the open type intellectual property information database 102 or the intellectual property information in the closed type intellectual property information database 101 is to be included.

  Next, the information providing unit 108 displays the area intellectual property information map 300 on the information terminal of the company 20 or the like for the range that can be provided.

  The enterprise 20 or the like 20 grasps the registration status of the intellectual property information from the displayed planar intellectual property information map 300 and clicks a column to be browsed.

  The information providing unit 108 displays the field / research-specific information list data 301 associated with the clicked column on the information terminal of the company 20 or the like.

  The company 20 clicks the registered information number of the information for which detailed information is desired to be browsed from the displayed field / research-specific information list data 301.

  The information providing unit 108 displays the registration information detailed data 302 of the clicked registration information number on the information terminal of the company 20 or the like. At this time, the information providing unit 108 subtracts the necessary mileage set in the field / research-specific information list data 301 from the mileage of the member information via the member information management unit 104 as a price for using the information browsing service. At the same time, the miles are added to the miles of the researcher information 202a, 202b, 202c.

  In addition, when the information providing unit 108 provides the registration information detailed data 302, the information providing unit 108 prohibits browsing the registration information detailed data 302 for a certain period of time. Set. When another company tries to browse next in the same procedure, the registration information of the registration information detailed data 302 is not displayed on the information terminal of the company 20 or the like.

  Further, the information providing unit 108 sends an e-mail to the e-mail address set in the researcher information 202a, 202b, 202c to the researcher who registered the information that the registered information has been accessed, etc. Then, notification is made without showing the name of the company 20 or the like.

(3) Intellectual property information utilization contract process When the enterprise 20 wants to use the browsed intellectual property information, the “Application for joint research / patent utilization” via the intellectual property information exchange support system 100 within a certain period of time. Is submitted to the consortium information management company 10 (S8).

  After receiving the application (S9), the consortium information management company 10 immediately starts negotiations with the company (S10, S11). As a result, if additional information is provided or technical guidance is requested, it will be connected to researchers. During the negotiations, the intellectual property information remains closed.

  Requests for provision of additional information and technical guidance from companies are made based on the consent of both parties, as the consortium information management company 10 adjusts the necessary amount by coordinating with researchers and presents the draft contract to the company. Initiate technology transfer.

  As a result of the negotiation, when joint research or licensing is concluded, the intellectual property information for which the contract has been completed is sent to the open intellectual property information database 102 or the closed intellectual property information database 101 by the information registration unit 107. And the area-specific intellectual property information map 300 is updated to the latest state.

  Technical guidance, joint research, or licensing agreements initiated through negotiations with companies are formed as contracts between two companies, such as universities and universities, etc., and universities, etc. whose fees (contracts) are fully paid by companies 30 is paid.

  In addition, there may be a case where a fee for contract document preparation and negotiation service provided by the consortium information management company 10 is collected after the contract is established (S12).

(4) Technology Needs Registration Step Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the company 20 transmits a theme that it wants to study as a technology need (S21).

  The technology needs transmitted from the company 20 are received by the information receiving unit 105 and stored in the temporary storage memory 106 (S22).

  Next, the person in charge of the consortium information management company 10 scrutinizes the contents of the technical needs stored in the temporary storage memory 106 through the information registration unit 107 and classifies what research is in which field. (S23) The information registration unit 107 formally registers in the closed intellectual property information database 101 according to the input classification (S24).

(5) Technology Needs Viewing Step As shown in FIG. 7, when a researcher accesses the intellectual property information exchange support system 100 and requests information retrieval (S25), the information providing unit 108 provides the technology needs. Receive (S26, S27).

  Specifically, the information providing unit 108 displays the area intellectual property information map 300 on the researcher's information terminal.

  The researcher grasps the registration status of the technology needs from the displayed intellectual property information map 300, and clicks the column to be browsed.

  The information providing unit 108 displays field / research-specific technical needs list data associated with the clicked column on the researcher's information terminal.

  The researcher clicks the registration information number of the technical need for which more detailed information is to be browsed from the displayed technical needs list data by field / research.

  The information providing unit 108 displays the registration information detailed data 302 of the clicked registration information number on the researcher's information terminal.

  When providing the registration information detailed data 302, the information providing unit 108 sets “not possible” to the browsing permission of the field / research-specific technical needs list data so that the registration information detailed data 302 cannot be browsed for a certain period of time. . When another university tries to browse next in the same procedure, the registration information of the registration information detailed data 302 is not displayed on the information terminal of the university 30 or the like.

  Furthermore, the information providing unit 108 sends a research email indicating that the registered information has been accessed to the company that has registered the technical needs to the email address set in the company member information 200, for example. Notify the person's name.

(6) Research contract contract process When a researcher wants to conduct research on the research theme of the technology needs that he / she has viewed, the research consignment information management through the intellectual property information exchange support system 100 within a certain period of time. Submit to company 10 (S28).

  After receiving the “research contract application” (S29), the intellectual property information exchange support system 100 notifies the company of the application university information (S30) and notifies the researcher or university of the requesting company information. (S31). During the negotiations, the technology needs remain closed.

  As a result of negotiations between the university and the company (S32), a joint research is concluded and a contract formation report is made (S33). While being deleted from the property information database 101, the area intellectual property information map 300 is updated to the latest state.

  Collaborative research is formed as a contract between a company and a university, and the entire fee (contract) is paid from the company to the university where the researcher is located.

  In addition, there may be a case where a fee for contract document creation and negotiation service provided by the consortium information management company 10 is collected after the contract is established (S34).

  The university 30 pays the annual membership fee to the consortium information management company 10, and the amount is calculated from the total amount of the technical guidance contract, joint research contract, license agreement, royalty contract, etc. secured in the previous year. And, it is selected from the method of the flat rate system regardless of the presence or absence of results.

(Other operations)
The consortium information management company 10 separately performs patent application, rights securing, rights maintenance agency services, etc. at the request of universities 30.

  In addition, the consortium information management company 10 converts the intellectual property information of universities 30 in Japan as shown in FIG. 5, but after obtaining approval of the shareholders meeting by the university 30 as a shareholder as necessary. Also provides information to overseas companies.

  As shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, when a paid contract such as joint research, technical (know-how) guidance, licensing of patents, transfer of result tangibles, etc. is concluded between companies 20 and researchers A rate fee (service fee) is obtained from companies, universities, etc. 30. Using the price as a source of funds, we also offer patent application (including overseas) services for pre-application inventions registered by researchers.
