[Intellectual property transaction processing]
FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the intellectual property transaction process executed by the intellectual property transaction computer 10. Processing performed by the module of the intellectual property transaction computer 10 described above will be described together with this processing.

  In step S1, the receiving module 14 receives the contract information. In this step, the receiving module 14 receives the contract information from the licensor computer 20 and stores it in the contract information data DB 15 of the storage unit 12.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the contract information stored in the contract information data DB 15 of the intellectual property transaction computer 10.
The contract information is the text data of the contract of intellectual property (industrial property rights, copyright, know-how, etc.) traded between the licensor and the licensee, the name information indicating the name of the licensor and the licensee, the contracted intellectual property Identification information that identifies the property (for example, application number / registration number of industrial property rights), implementation area information indicating the area where the licensee can be implemented, and implementation details (manufacturing, sales, or loan) that the licensee can implement Text data indicating matters necessary in the transaction of intellectual property, in addition to non-execution content information indicating implementation contents that cannot be implemented by the licensee and text data of implementation period information indicating the period during which the licensee can be implemented, etc. include.
In FIG. 4, the enclosed characters indicate product / service information described later.

  Returning to FIG. 2, in step S2, the extraction module 16 extracts product / service information. In this step, the extraction module 16 extracts product / service information indicating products / services related to the contracted intellectual property from the contract information stored in the contract information data DB 15 (see FIG. 4).

  In step S3, the search module 17 searches for public information. In this step, the search module 17 obtains public information on the implementation of the product / service related to the intellectual property contracted by the licensee based on the product / service information extracted by the extraction module 16 in step S2. Search in 5.

  In step S4, the determination module 18 determines an embodiment. In this step, the determination module 18 includes, in step S3, the public information searched by the search module 17, name information indicating the licensee name in the contract information, and license content information indicating the license content (implementation area information, implementation information). Based on the content information, implementation period information, non-implementation content information, etc.) Judge whether it is.

With reference to FIG.4 and FIG.5, the specific example of the process of step S2 of the intellectual property transaction computer 10 to step S4 is demonstrated.
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of public information disclosed in the public line network 5.

  In the process of step S2, the extraction module 16 obtains, for example, name information indicating the names of the licensor and the licensee and the contracted intellectual property as contracted product / service information from the contract information data DB 15 (see FIG. 4). Identification information to identify, contracted product information indicating the licensed product name, implementation area information indicating the area where the licensee can be implemented, implementation contents information indicating the implementation contents which the licensee can implement, non-existence indicating the implementation contents which the licensee cannot implement At least one is extracted from the group including implementation content information or implementation period information indicating a period during which the licensee can implement.

  Specifically, in the example illustrated in FIG. 4, the extraction module 16 extracts text data “ABC Inc.” as the licensor name information. The extraction module 16 extracts text data of “XYZ Co., Ltd.” as the licensee name information. The extraction module 16 extracts text data such as “Japanese Patent Application No. 2006-123456” and “Patent No. 1234567” as licensee identification information. The extraction module 16 extracts text data “MR-001” as the contract product information. The extraction module 16 extracts text data of “Japan” and “United States” as licensee's implementation area information. The extraction module 16 extracts text data of “manufacturing” and “sales” as the licensee's execution content information. The extraction module 16 extracts text data of “transfer” and “permission (sublicense)” as non-execution content information of the licensee. The extraction module 16 extracts text data “until 2020” as licensee implementation period information.

  In the process of step S3, the search module 17 searches the public line network 5 using the product / service information extracted by the extraction module 16 in the process of step S2 as a search keyword, for example, contract product information “MR-001”. ”, Based on the identification information“ Japanese Patent No. 1234567 ”, as shown in FIG. 5, public information including these product / service information is searched.

  In the process of step S4, the determination module 18 analyzes the public information searched by the search module 17, and based on the name information indicating the licensee name and the license content information indicating the license content, the licensee It is determined whether a sub-license has been granted, the right to perform has been assigned, or whether it has been implemented beyond the contractable scope of implementation.

  For example, the determination module 18 searches the public information for a character string that is the same as or similar to the licensee name information “XYZ Co., Ltd.”. In the example illustrated in FIG. 5, the determination module 18 extracts “CDE Co., Ltd.”, which is a character string that approximates the name information “XYZ Co., Ltd.”. In this case, the determination module 18 determines that the name information “XYZ Co., Ltd.” and the extracted character string “CDE Co., Ltd.” are not the same, and therefore the person is different from the licensee.

  When the determination module 18 determines that the person is different from the licensee (when it is determined that the name is not the same as the name information of the licensee), in the public information, the implementation area information, the implementation content information, the non-implementation content information, and the implementation period information Search for a character string that is the same as or similar to. In the example illustrated in FIG. 5, the determination module 18 extracts “manufacturing” and “sale” that are the same character strings as the implementation content information “manufacturing” and “sale”.

  In this case, the determination module 18 determines that the name information extracted by the extraction module 16 and the character string extracted in the public information are not the same but approximate, and the non-work content information is “transfer”, “permission (permission)”. Therefore, it is determined that the contract has been executed beyond the contractable range (contract violation information indicating that the contract has been executed beyond the contractable range is generated).

  Similarly to the above processing, the determination module 18 searches the public information for a character string that is the same as or close to the implementation content information and the implementation area information extracted by the extraction module 16, and executes the execution content information and the implementation area information. If it is determined that the extracted character string is not identical but approximate, contract violation information is generated.

  Further, the determination module 18 extracts a character string indicating the date / time in the public information, and generates contract violation information when the extracted date / time is determined to be outside the range of the date / time indicated by the implementation period information extracted by the extraction module 16. To do.

  Returning to FIG. 3, in step S5, the notification module 19 notifies the licensor. In this step, the notification module 19 notifies the licensor computer 20 of the public information searched by the search module 17 in step S3. Further, the notification module 19 notifies the licensor computer 20 of the determination result (contract violation information) of the determination module 18 in step S4.

  The means and functions described above are realized by a computer (including a CPU, an information processing apparatus, and various terminals) reading and executing a predetermined program. The program is provided in a form recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a flexible disk, CD (CD-ROM, etc.), DVD (DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, etc.), for example. In this case, the computer reads the program from the recording medium, transfers it to the internal storage device or the external storage device, stores it, and executes it. The program may be recorded in advance in a storage device (recording medium) such as a magnetic disk, an optical disk, or a magneto-optical disk, and provided from the storage device to a computer via a communication line.
