Description

The present invention relates to a blockchain-based patent value chain platform, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a blockchain-based patent value chain platform that connects patent holders and investors and provides a platform for forming a patent value value chain based on blockchain. ’s patent value chain platform and a crowdfunding service method using the same.

Cooperation between those with technology and those with capital is of national interest because innovation can lead to national wealth creation. Although they are promoting this through technology deals, licenses, and capital investments, there are not many actual success stories.

Furthermore, the practical work that small and medium-sized enterprises, venture businesses, startups, and individual rights holders (patent holders, etc.) must prepare before starting a business can be a technical and economic burden. In reality, small right holders must carry out enforcement by self-certification and preparation, and as a result of their lack of experience and expertise, they go through a lot of trial and error. After finally investing the time and money, there is no choice but to despair at the reality that the effective period of intellectual property rights will be halved. Such a process may become a structural reason for the unavoidable abandonment of intellectual property rights, and professional and prompt preparation before starting a business is the key to success in commercializing intellectual property rights. It is thought that.

Therefore, it may be preferable to evaluate the validity of the technology based on the evaluation result data of the prior patented technology corresponding to the idea technology and the technology trend analysis data, and to commercialize the technology based on the resulting data.

In order to advance the commercialization of such idea technologies, a crowd funding platform is required to provide more systematic and flexible commercialization support.

Crowdfunding means receiving funding from the crowd, and refers to a process in which individuals, organizations, and companies in need of funds collect funds from an unspecified number of people using the web, mobile networks, etc. Many systems and methods for such crowdfunding are publicly known.

On the other hand, there has been a lot of activity in virtual currency trading recently. Although virtual currency trading appears to proceed in the same way as stock trading, there is no time constraint, and real-time (real-time) trading is carried out through simple procedures. This can be done conveniently as it can be converted into cash using ``time''.

In addition, since it is stored on a computer's hard disk, there are no storage costs, there is no risk of theft or loss, and it also has the advantage of functioning as a means of storing value. The advantage is that information cannot be hacked.

Therefore, in proceeding with the commercialization of idea technology, we are internally limited to the value between patent holders and investors based on general-purpose electronic money for public relations, advertising, and marketing worldwide. We propose a blockchain-based patent value chain platform that is in charge of the overall commercialization of patent technology and intellectual property idea technology using electronic coins. General-purpose electronic money here refers to electronic money or electronic coins issued from the patent value chain.

As a conventional technology related to the above-mentioned content, a technology related to a crowdfunding system is known in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2014-0048524 (April 24, 2014).

However, a crowdfunding system includes a system server and user terminals that are connected through a network, and many users connect to the system server through the user terminals, and store a customer DB containing customer information and channel information provided by the system server. and a DB containing the information. The charging module may charge an amount set by the user for funding, allocate a service certificate to the user corresponding to the fee charged to the user, and notify the user online.

However, in the known technology, the billing module of the system server charges the amount set by the user for funding through the user terminal or the amount preset by the system server, and stores the billing module in the service list DB of the system server. The main technique is to transmit a service certificate that allows the use of one or more of the pre-registered services to the user terminal. However, the above-mentioned known technology, like the present invention, is based on blockchain-based general-purpose electronic money for global public relations, advertising and marketing, and internally creates value between patent holders and investors. This is different from providing a blockchain-based patent value chain platform that utilizes value coins limited to (value) and is in charge of commercializing patent technology and intellectual property idea technology as a whole.

Therefore, the patent value coin issuing unit 111 is a blockchain-based crypto currency issuing device that issues value coins that can be used in all business scopes that proceed on the blockchain-based patent value chain platform .

The patent value coin issuing unit 111 is a device that issues value coins corresponding to value during crowdfunding on a blockchain-based patent value chain platform .

An electronic coin is a digital asset that can be securely transmitted through public key encryption using a distributed ledger, and ownership can be easily proven using a hash function. Directed Acyclic Graph: A cryptocurrency that operates on a distributed ledger based on a directed acyclic graph. Electronic coins can be exchanged for real money such as dollars, euros, pounds, yuan, yen, and won at cryptocurrency exchanges, which are markets where cryptocurrencies can be traded.

Note that value coins are generated and issued based on blockchain, and transaction history is recorded and encrypted in multiple distributed ledgers to which blockchain technology is applied.

Such value coins are distinguished from electronic coins, cannot be traded on general electronic money exchanges, and are limited to crowdfunding provided by the blockchain-based patented value chain platform of the present invention. Refers to blockchain cryptocurrencies that can be used in a blockchain-based patent value chain platform, are issued only through operating companies of blockchain-based patent value chain platforms , and cannot be exchanged for electronic coins.

Note that value coins are electronic coins that are distributed with patent technology-specific IDs by the funding channel management unit 121 and are issued in accordance with the value of patent rights during crowdfunding. The funding channel management unit 121 issues limited issues according to each patent right (patented technology) to be issued, and promotes crowdfunding according to the type of patent right (if necessary). It can be generated infinitely as long as it corresponds to the value of the patent right.

In other words, value coins are paid in proportion to the value of the patented technology of the patentee, and the amount quantified by the patent technology provision department 123 is given to the patentee according to the development plan schedule. Payment may be made sequentially or in fixed proportions. This is limitedly issued according to the value of the patent technology through the patent value coin issuing unit 111 of the blockchain-based patent value chain platform .

Note that value coins are generated and issued based on blockchain, and transaction history is recorded and encrypted in multiple distributed ledgers to which blockchain technology is applied.

The funding service department 120 of the present invention registers patented technology, evaluates and quantifies the value of patented technology, and shares patented technology information on a network to attract investors who are interested in patented technology and wish to participate in investment. Recruitment, perform the function of connecting patent holders and investors, carry out funding examination and funding management, and determine the funding amount.

To this end, the funding service unit 120 may include a funding channel manager 121, a service promotion manager 122, and a patent technology provider 123.

The patent technology provision department 123 evaluates the business value of the patent technology registered by the patentee with the support of an on-offline expert group linked to the blockchain-based patent value chain platform . It can perform the functions of checking the development plan schedule that can be mass-produced and determining the patentee's financial plan. It also functions to quantify the value of patented technology by evaluating it according to evaluation items calculated by experts and provided to the blockchain-based patent value chain platform , and to calculate the amount corresponding to the quantified value.

The funding channel management department 121 is a connection channel for connecting investors and patent holders of the patented technology and sharing mutual information, or a funding group by patent technology for the purpose of funding, Funding for quick and efficient development or mass production and revenue from the product between the patentee who owns the exclusive license of the patented technology and a large number of crowdfunding participants who wish to invest. In charge of distribution, a code corresponding to the patented technology of the funding channel is assigned to help issue value coins corresponding to the value.

The service promotion management unit 122 supports services on the blockchain-based patent value chain platform through value coins. To this end, it performs the function of providing various service promotions to patent holders and investors on funding channels.

In other words, service promotion involves patent technology marketing, public relations, and advertising for patent holders, and marketing and various online services for investors to develop overseas markets and recruit additional investors after commercialization. Electronic coins corresponding to the funding channel can be used as expenses for conducting offline events and promoting services.

More specifically, referring to FIG. 3, the crowdfunding service method of the present invention includes the first step of processing patentee registration and authentication, registering patented technology, and quantifying qualitative and quantitative value. Step S100, a second step S200 in which value coins corresponding to the value based on the value evaluation information and development plan (commercialization plan) schedule of the patented technology are provided to the patentee through the patent value coin issuing department; Investors who are recruited by sharing patent technology information on the network, including value evaluation information, development plan schedule, and the minimum amount of money required to implement the patentee's patented technology, will be given individual IDs and The third step S300 is to register the funding amount, and the fourth step S400 is to open a funding channel to connect investors and patent holders of the patented technology. In the fifth step S500, the corresponding currency is invested in electronic coins, the electronic coins are provided by the investor through the electronic coin issuing department, and the value corresponding to a certain percentage of the amount of electronic coins provided by the investor is patented. The sixth step, S600, is paid in Value Coin to investors through the Value Coin issuing department, and after the funding of the patented technology is completed, the patentee is blocked from receiving a funding success fee of a certain percentage according to the valuation amount of the patented technology. The seventh stage S700 will be paid in value coins through the chain department, and after the commercialization of the patented technology is completed, a commercialization success fee corresponding to a certain percentage of the investor's investment amount will be paid to investors in value coins through the blockchain department. and an eighth step S800.

The first step S100 is to solicit the patented technology and intellectual property ideas of the patentee through on-offline public announcement, and through this, create a blockchain-based patent value chain platform and a subscription that handles investor subscription and authentication. This process is performed by giving the patentee an individual ID by the authentication unit.

At this time, the first step S100 is a process of registering information on a patented technology or intellectual property idea of a patentee having exclusive ownership to the patent technology providing department of the blockchain-based patent value chain platform .

In addition, in the first step S100, the business value of the patented technology registered with the patent technology provision department is evaluated with the support of an on-offline expert group linked to a blockchain-based patent value chain platform. It is possible to perform the functions of checking the development plan schedule that can be mass-produced and determining the patentee's financial plan. This will be quantified by the patent technology provision department using evaluation items provided by the blockchain-based patent value chain platform .

In the second step S200, the amount corresponding to the value evaluated and quantified according to the value of the patented technology and the development plan or commercialization plan schedule by the patent technology providing department is sent to the patent value coin issuing department to be converted into a value corresponding to the value. This is the stage where the patentee is paid in coins.

In the third step S300, patent technology information including value evaluation information of patent rights, development plan schedule, and the minimum amount of money required to implement the patentee's patented technology is shared over the network, and interest in the patented technology is shared. This is the stage of recruiting investors who wish to participate in a certain investment and registering the investors' funding amount.

This is handled by providing individual IDs to investors by the participation authentication department, which handles investor participation and authentication on the blockchain-based patent value chain platform , and by the funding department, which handles funding screening and funding management. The funding amount will be determined by the service department.

In the fourth step S400, a funding channel is established to connect investors and patent holders of the patented technology and share mutual information.

A funding channel is a connecting channel for sharing information between the patentee of the patented technology and the investor, or a funding group by patent technology for the purpose of funding. Funding for quick and efficient development or mass production between the patent holder who owns the exclusive license and a large number of crowdfunding participants who wish to participate in investment, and the distribution of profits from the product. In order to explore this, it is a patent technology-specific management channel generated and managed by the funding service department on a blockchain-based patent value chain platform .

In other words, the blockchain-based patent value chain platform of the present invention opens a funding channel for patent holders and investors, and through this, value coins are provided with codes corresponding to the patented technology of the funding channel. can be issued.

The fifth step S500 is a step of receiving money corresponding to the funding amount from an investor in the form of electronic coins through a funding channel.

At this time, electronic coins are digital assets that can be securely transmitted through public key encryption on a distributed ledger and can easily prove ownership using a hash function, and are It refers to a cryptocurrency that operates on a distributed ledger based on DAG or DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph).

Since the creation of Bitcoin, the world's first blockchain-based cryptocurrency, in 2009, new cryptocurrencies have emerged, and major cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin and Ethereum. , Ripple, Bitcoin Cash, EOS, etc.

General-purpose cryptocurrencies can be exchanged for real money, such as dollars, euros, pounds, yuan, yen, won, etc., at cryptocurrency exchanges, which are markets where cryptocurrencies can be traded.

Therefore, in the fifth step S500, the investor can invest the corresponding funding investment amount in electronic coins, and the patentee invests the funding investment amount by the investor in electronic coins connected to the funding channel. You can receive investments in electronic coins through the issuing department. At this time, the patentee who received the investment can convert the electronic coins into cash through a cryptocurrency exchange and use them as development funds.

In the sixth step S600, the electronic coin is provided by the investor through the electronic coin issuing unit, and the value corresponding to a certain percentage of the investment amount provided by the investor is transferred to the investor through the patent value coin issuing unit. ) is the stage where the payment is made in value coins corresponding to the amount.

In other words, investors will own ValueCoins with a value corresponding to the corresponding funding channel, and can receive support services on the blockchain-based patent value chain platform through ValueCoins. It becomes like this.

Thereafter, the seventh step S700 and the eighth step S800 are steps in which success fees for the corresponding funding are paid in electronic coins through the blockchain department, and the seventh step S700 is the step in which the patent right is paid after the funding for the patented technology is completed. The system may be structured so that a certain proportion of the funding success fee is paid to the person concerned in accordance with the assessed value of the patented technology. Through funding success fees, patent holders can raise funds to commercialize their patented technology.

In addition, in the eighth step S800, after the commercialization of the patented technology is completed, a commercialization success fee corresponding to a certain percentage of the investor's investment amount can be paid to the investor in value coins.

As a result, the blockchain-based patent value chain platform of the present invention provides patent rights on the funding channel to patent owners and investors using value coins corresponding to the value of the funding channel. Provide various service promotions to rights holders and investors.

Service promotion includes patent technology marketing, public relations and advertising for patent holders, and marketing for investors to develop overseas markets and recruit additional investors after commercialization. Therefore, electronic coins corresponding to the funding channel can be used as costs for service promotion.

Additionally, the blockchain-based patent value chain platform of the present invention can host various events for patent owners and investors.

Therefore, the present invention may facilitate overseas marketing for patent holders without capital. In other words, although the development of the patented technology has been completed and the product has been released, a large amount of capital is required to actually carry out marketing. Particularly in the case of overseas marketing, the costs are prohibitive and without acquaintances, it would be impossible to expand overseas. However, the present invention may soon be used as a marketing tool by overseas investors in the patent rights. For example, when a friend named James from the United States invested in the relevant patent rights, it was likely that he invested in part because of the patented technology. Of course, the company also has value for the relevant patent rights. Simply put, they can be considered to be shareholders of the relevant patent rights. Therefore, if the patented product in which the relevant patent right is adopted is successful, a profit equal to the value invested will be generated. From this, we can expect situations in which they will promote their own marketing in the U.S., situations in which they will require sole-handed sales, and situations in which they will require an agent, and patent holders may be able to conduct overseas marketing without investing money. Be expected. This is expected to be possible in any country in the world where investment in the patent rights has been made, such as South Korea, China, the United States, Japan, and Europe.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, while crowdfunding is progressing, it is possible to monitor and analyze areas of interest by investor, areas of investment interest by age, investment amount by age, areas of interest by country and region, investment items of interest by age, etc. However, it is also expected to be possible to generate data such as investment patterns, items of interest, investable models, etc. through big data analysis.

As mentioned above, although the detailed description of the present invention describes preferred embodiments, a person having ordinary knowledge in the technical field of the present invention can understand the technology of the present invention as set forth in the following claims. It will be understood that various modifications and changes may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.
