Description

The present invention relates to an intellectual property information management system that receives an intellectual property provided by a provider and provides the intellectual property to a business entity to support the distribution transaction of the intellectual property for commercialization.

Today, intellectual property (patent rights, technologies and know-how, trade secrets, big data and other limited provision data, utility model rights, design rights, forms of goods including high-value designs, trademark rights, products with brand value, etc. Indications, domain names, copyrights or neighboring rights, publicity rights, etc.) exist in a wide variety of fields. Many of them have high technology, brand value, attractiveness as contents, etc., and have the potential for commercialization. Not only large companies, but also SMEs and individuals have a considerable amount of intellectual property with potential.

On the other hand, there are also entrepreneurs, companies, and investors who are willing to purchase such intellectual property or obtain a license to utilize the intellectual property and create new value. However, in the current situation where intellectual property is widely dispersed, entrepreneurs have no choice but to spend a great deal of effort to search for and dig up their intellectual property, and to negotiate and collect it with individual holders. That is an obstacle to the commercialization of intellectual property.

From the standpoint of SMEs and individuals who own intellectual property, they do not have equal bargaining power and bargaining ability in relation to entrepreneurs, and in return for providing their own intellectual property, entrepreneurs are justified. There remains doubt as to whether or not the price can be obtained. Moreover, estimating the value of the intellectual property held and identifying the possibility of commercialization is a problem that is never easy even for experts (see Non-Patent Document 1 below), and this is for SMEs and individuals. Is very difficult to do. After all, despite its high potential, most intellectual property is left unused.

NTT DATA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT CONSULTING, INC., "2017 JPO Industrial Property Rights System Problem Research and Research Report", [online], 2018 March, Japan Patent Office, [Search on November 11, 2018], Internet <URL: https://www.jpo.go.jp/shiryou/toushin/chousa/pdf/zaisanken/2017#06#zentai.pdf ＞

In order for intellectual property holders, especially small businesses and individuals, to get a fair price in exchange for the provision of intellectual property, one of the many intellectual property they hold is in one place. It is considered effective for the negotiators who have received the deposit to negotiate with entrepreneurs who are planning to commercialize their intellectual property. In addition, such negotiators will be able to obtain a lot of information about intellectual property, making it easier for them to engage in intellectual property valuation on behalf of SMEs and individuals. Overall, SMEs and individuals will be able to benefit.

On the side of entrepreneurs, etc., the dispersed intellectual property is accumulated under the negotiators, and the contact point for purchase or license negotiations is unified, which is a great merit.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to the above points for the first time, and supports and promotes the distribution of intellectual property between the holder of the intellectual property and the entrepreneur who intends to utilize the intellectual property. Is the intended purpose.

In the present invention, the intellectual property is provided by the provider, the amount of money for the potential value is paid to the provider regardless of whether or not the intellectual property is commercialized, and the intellectual property is used. When commercialized, it supports intellectual property distribution transactions that pay the provider the amount of money for the potential return that allocates at least a part of the profit obtained from the business. The provider information acquisition unit that acquires information about the provider of intellectual property, the provider information storage unit that stores the information about the provider acquired by the provider information acquisition unit, and the knowledge provided by the provider. Intellectual property information acquisition department that acquires information about the intellectual property including the type or field to which the intellectual property belongs, and knowledge that stores the information about the intellectual property acquired by the intellectual property information acquisition department. Based on the intellectual property information storage department and the information on the intellectual property rights, select an assessment organization that can assess the potential value of the intellectual property, which differs depending on the type of intellectual property or the field to which it belongs. Then, information about the intellectual property is transmitted to the contact information of the selected valuation institution or the information processing device used by the valuation institution via the telecommunications line, and from the valuation institution via the telecommunications line. A potential value acquisition unit that acquires the potential value for the provision of the intellectual property that is returned, and a potential value information output unit that outputs information including the potential value acquired by the potential value acquisition unit to the provider. An intellectual property information management system equipped with

The intellectual property information management system according to the present invention makes it easy to create a database of intellectual property, recognize the value of the intellectual property, and examine the possibility of commercialization thereof. Then, the potential value reflecting the possibility of commercialization of the intellectual property can be determined and notified to the provider.

In addition, this intellectual property information management system is commercialized using the intellectual property, which differs depending on the type of the target intellectual property or the field to which the intellectual property belongs, based on the information on the intellectual property right. Select an valuation institution that can assess the expected potential return for the provision of the intellectual property in such a case, and direct the intellectual property to the contact information of the selected valuation institution or the information processing device used by the valuation institution. A potential return acquisition unit that transmits information about property via a telecommunications line and acquires a potential return returned from the assessment agency via the telecommunications line, and a potential return acquisition unit that acquires the expected potential. It may include a potential return information output unit that outputs information including returns to the provider. As a result, it is possible to notify the provider of the potential return that the provider can receive a dividend when the intellectual property provided by the provider is commercialized.

Furthermore, this intellectual property information management system has a trustability information acquisition unit that acquires information on whether or not the deposit of intellectual property by the provider is accepted, which is determined based on the information about the provider. When the information acquired by the entrustment availability information acquisition unit indicates that the deposit of intellectual property by the provider cannot be accepted, the non-service information that outputs the information to that effect to the provider is output. It may be provided with an information output unit that cannot be serviced. This makes it possible to refuse the deposit of intellectual property from an individual or corporation with low creditworthiness.

According to the present invention, it is possible to support and promote the distribution of intellectual property between the holder of the intellectual property and the entrepreneur who intends to utilize the intellectual property.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The intellectual property information management system of the present embodiment forms the core of the business model for distribution and commercialization of intellectual property shown in FIG. In this business model, the intellectual property is provided by the person O who owns the intellectual property, and the potential value is paid to the provider O regardless of whether or not the intellectual property is used for commercialization. After that, when the intellectual property is used by the business entity B such as an entrepreneur, a company, an investor, etc. and the business using the intellectual property is realized, the provider O of the intellectual property At least a part of the profit obtained from the business is paid as a potential return.

Potential value is close to the interest and interest rate given to deposits deposited by depositors in banks. The person O who owns the intellectual property can provide the intellectual property owned by himself / herself to the operator M of this business model, in other words, receive money for the potential value as consideration for depositing. As a result, it is expected that the incentive for the intellectual property holder O to provide the intellectual property to the operator M of this business model will increase, and that a large amount of intellectual property will be gathered in this business model.

The provision of intellectual property takes the form of transfer or trust of intellectual property, or license (establishment or permission of license, use right, reproduction right, transfer right, distribution right, publishing right, etc.). When the provider O licenses the intellectual property to the operator M, the sublicense (sublicense) that the operator M further licenses to the business entity B shall be accepted.

Potential return is close to the yield given to the purchaser of financial products and the distribution of investment profit. When the operator M provides the intellectual property provided by the provider O to the operator M to the business entity B, and the business entity B realizes a business using the intellectual property, the provider O of the intellectual property concerned. Can receive the amount of potential return that is a part of the profit of the business from the business entity B directly through the operator M or not through the operator M.

The intellectual property information management system of the present embodiment mainly includes an information processing device 1, for example, a general-purpose personal computer or a server computer.

In addition, a web server program, an e-mail server program, and the like are pre-installed, and the information processing device 1 works as a web server and the like. On top of that, the program required to build the intellectual property information management system of this embodiment is installed as a back-end program for a web server, an e-mail server, or the like. Then, when the CPU 1a executes these programs, each hardware resource of the information processing device 1 is subjected to the provider information acquisition unit 101, the provider information storage unit 102, the intellectual property information acquisition unit 103, and the knowledge shown in FIG. Functions as a property information storage unit 104, a consignment availability information acquisition unit 105, a non-serviceable information output unit 106, a potential value acquisition unit 107, a potential value information output unit 108, a potential return acquisition unit 109, and a potential return information output unit 110. Demonstrate.

The provider information acquisition unit 101 acquires information regarding the provider O of the intellectual property. The mode of acquiring the information about the intellectual property provider O is to receive the information provided by the information processing device 2 used by the intellectual property provider O via the telecommunication line, or the input device 1g. It may be to accept manual input of information using the information processing device 1, or to read out information stored in a storage device such as a flash memory or an optical disk that can be attached to and detached from the information processing device 1. The transmission and reception of information via a telecommunication line is typically by so-called web form (input form), e-mail, facsimile or the like. Information about the provider O of intellectual property is, for example, the name or name of the provider O, the name of the representative, the address or whereabouts of the provider O, the occupation, the place of employment, the age, the e-mail address or telephone number to be contacted. Includes my number of provider O such as number (including facsimile number) and other attribute information necessary to judge the creditworthiness of provider O.

The provider information storage unit 102 uses the required storage area of the main memory 1b or the auxiliary storage device 1c to store the information regarding the provider O of the intellectual property acquired by the provider information acquisition unit 101. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the provider information storage unit 102 stores and holds information about each provider O in association with an identifier that identifies the provider O.

The intellectual property information acquisition unit 103 acquires information on the intellectual property provided by the provider O. The mode of acquiring the information about the intellectual property is to receive the information provided by the information processing device 2 used by the provider O of the intellectual property via the telecommunication line, or the information using the input device 1g. It may be to accept the manual input of the information processing device 1 or to read out the information stored in the storage device such as a flash memory or an optical disk that can be attached to and detached from the information processing device 1. Information on intellectual property includes, for example, the type or field to which the intellectual property belongs (for example, legal type (patent right, technology or know-how, business secret, big data or other limited provision data, practical new proposal right, design right, etc.) In addition to the form of articles including high-value designs, trademark rights, labeling of products with brand value, domain names, copyrights or copyright adjacency rights, publicity rights, etc.), technical fields, articles related to designs, designated products of trademarks, etc. Or services, classification of content format or content (novels, documents, pictures, cartoons, photographs, videos, music, video games, and even subdivided genres, etc.), etc.), outline or content of the content of the intellectual property. The content itself (may be a specification or other document, drawing, music, still or moving image, three-dimensional object data, program, limited provision data group, or compressed or reduced data thereof). Suggested keywords, duration of rights (end of), conditions for providing the intellectual property to business entity B (whether it can be transferred, whether it is only licensed and not transferred, or is the license exclusive? Judgment of non-exclusive, license scope, period, regional conditions, implementation quantity conditions, etc.), outline of related technology or itself, scope of application, feasibility and profitability of other intellectual property Contains the information needed to do so.

The intellectual property information storage unit 104 uses the required storage area of the main memory 1b or the auxiliary storage device 1c to store information related to the intellectual property acquired by the intellectual property information acquisition unit 103. The intellectual property information storage unit 104 is a database in which a large number of intellectual properties are accumulated. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the intellectual property information storage unit 104 identifies information about individual intellectual property provided by each provider O, an identifier that identifies the intellectual property, and the provider O. It is stored in association with the identifier to be used.

The acceptance / rejection information acquisition unit 105 acquires information regarding whether or not the deposit of intellectual property by the provider O, which is determined based on the information regarding the provider O, can be accepted. This information evaluates, for example, the creditworthiness of each provider O in a plurality of grades (five grades of "5", "4", "3", "2", and "1", the smaller the value, the lower the creditworthiness). , To rank.

As shown in FIG. 6, the information processing device 1 that functions as the consignment acceptance / rejection information acquisition unit 105 can obtain information about the provider O that is acquired by the provider information acquisition unit 101 or stored by the provider information storage unit 102. The information is transmitted via the telecommunications line to the information processing device 3 of the credit institution that plays a role of determining the creditworthiness of the provider O (step S11). The information processing device 3 of the credit institution receives the information about the provider O, and returns the credit rating of the provider O determined by referring to the information via the telecommunication line. The credit institution may be a financial institution such as a bank or various credit bureaus. In addition, the information processing device 3 of the credit institution may hold a database 301 of deposits and debts of the provider O, credit card usage history, and other credit information, or may be linked to such a database 301. In that case, the credit institution searches the credit information database 301 using the name or name and address or whereabouts, my number, etc. included in the information about the provider O as a key, and the target provider O extracted from the database 301. It is possible to determine the creditworthiness of the provider O by also referring to the credit information. Then, the trust acceptance / rejection information acquisition unit 105 receives and acquires the credit rating information of the provider O provided by the information processing device 3 of the credit institution (step S12). The creditworthiness of the provider O acquired by the consignment acceptance / rejection information acquisition unit 105 can be stored and held in the provider information storage unit 102 in association with the identifier that identifies the provider O.

The acceptance / rejection information acquisition unit 105 does not always acquire the credit rating information of the provider O in the form of receiving it from the information processing device 3 of the credit institution. In the information processing device 1, information about the provider O is displayed or printed out on the screen of the display 1e and presented to the creditor, and the creditor refers to the information and of the provider O. It is also possible that the credit rating is determined and manually input via the input device 1g, and the acceptance / rejection information acquisition unit 105 accepts the input via the input device 1g.

The information processing device 1 (acceptability information acquisition unit 105) of the intellectual property information management system or the information processing device 3 of an external credit institution uses artificial intelligence to determine the creditworthiness of the target provider O. It is also possible. Data that combines information about a large number of providers O (which may include deposits and debts of each provider O, credit card usage history, and other credit information) and the creditworthiness given to each provider O. If actually exists (in the provider information acquisition unit 101, etc.), machine learning (particularly deep learning or enhanced learning) or data mining using this data is performed, and information on a new provider O is given. At that time, it is possible to create an artificial intelligence that automatically determines and outputs the creditworthiness of the provider O. The consignment acceptance / rejection information acquisition unit 105 may determine the creditworthiness of the provider O by referring to the information about the provider O, including such artificial intelligence. However, the artificial intelligence may be a rule-based one that determines the creditworthiness of the provider O by applying the matters included in the information about the provider O to a predetermined rule.

When the information acquired by the above-mentioned acceptance / rejection information acquisition unit 105 indicates that the deposit of intellectual property by the provider O cannot be accepted, the service non-service information output unit 106 provides the information to that effect to the provider O. Output to present to. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, if the creditworthiness of the target provider O is lower than a certain rank (“2” or “1”) (step S13), the intellectual property from the provider O is intellectual. It is decided to refuse the deposit of property, and the non-service information indicating that fact is transmitted to the contact information of the provider O or the information processing device 2 used by the provider O via a telecommunication line (step). S14). Alternatively, the non-service information may be printed out together with the name or name and address or whereabouts of the provider O in order to mail the non-service information to that effect and present it to the provider O.

When the non-service information is output, the potential value information and the potential return information, which will be described later, are not output to be presented to the provider O. In addition, in this case, the information about the intellectual property brought from the provider O may not be accepted, or part or all of the information about the provider O stored in the provider information storage unit 102 may be deleted. Part or all of the information about the intellectual property held by the provider O stored in the intellectual property information storage unit 104 may be deleted. Thus, the use of this system by the provider O with low credibility is excluded.

The potential value acquisition unit 107 acquires the potential value for the provision of the intellectual property, which is determined based on the information on the intellectual property. The potential value that the intellectual property provider O can receive as consideration for the provision is determined according to the degree of possibility that the intellectual property can be utilized in industry or other businesses. In the present embodiment, for the intellectual property provided by the provider O, a value index representing the business value of the intellectual property is calculated, and the value index is paid to the provider O of the intellectual property. Convert to monetary amount. The value index is calculated from, for example, the following four factors.
(1) Novelty of intellectual property: Score between 1 point and 10 points. The more innovative the intellectual property, the higher the score.
(2) Superiority of (function) of intellectual property: Score between 1 point and 50 points. Expected benefits from commercialization, complexity of commercialization, diversity of application fields, impact on environmental protection and health and hygiene, and / or necessity of consideration for this, contribution to advanced technology, scalability, etc. Evaluate from the perspective. The greater the expected profit, the easier the commercialization, the wider the application, the greater the positive impact on the environment and health and hygiene, the less the need for consideration for the environment and health and hygiene, the more advanced technology The greater the contribution and the higher the scalability, the higher the score.
(3) Difficulty of commercialization of intellectual property and productivity of business: Score between 1 point and 20 points. The higher the cost advantage of a business, the more stable the business, and the more efficient the business, the higher the score.
(4) Possibility of intellectual property development: Score between 1 and 20 points. In the above example, in which the higher the possibility of expansion into a new business, the higher the score, the value value given to the intellectual property provided by the provider O is 100 points at the maximum. Therefore, the higher the value value of the intellectual property, the larger the amount of potential value paid to the provider O who provides the intellectual property. For example, while the operator M of this system receives the deposit of intellectual property from the provider O, the amount of the annual potential value to be paid to the provider O is calculated.
・ Value value is 4 to 10 points: Potential value is 1,000 yen / year ・ Value value is 11 to 20 points: Potential value is 5,000 yen / year ・ Value value is 21 to 60 points: Potential value is 10,000 Yen / year / value value is 61 to 80 points: Potential value is 20,000 yen / year / value value is 81 to 100 points: Potential value is set to 50,000 yen / year.

As shown in FIG. 6, the information processing device 1 that functions as the potential value acquisition unit 107 relates to the intellectual property acquired by the intellectual property information acquisition unit 103 or stored by the intellectual property information storage unit 104. Information is transmitted via a telecommunications line to the information processing device 4 of the valuation organization, which is responsible for evaluating and assessing the value value or potential value amount of the intellectual property (step S21).

The content of the intellectual property to be provided by the provider O is wide-ranging. Even if it is limited to patents, utility models or technical trade secrets, the technical fields to which it belongs are various, such as machinery, electricity, information, metallurgy, chemistry, food, agricultural biotechnology, drug discovery, and medical equipment. It can be said that it is not easy for a single valuation body to always carry out an accurate valuation of such a wide variety of intellectual property, but rather it is practically difficult. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a plurality of valuation institutions are established, and the potential value is evaluated by the valuation institution that can most appropriately assess the intellectual property according to the type of intellectual property to be assessed or the field to which the intellectual property belongs. The assessment will be outsourced. As shown in FIG. 7, the main memory 1b or the auxiliary storage device 1c of the information processing device 1 relates to the type or field of the intellectual property and the assessment organization to which the assessment of the potential value of the intellectual property should be entrusted in advance. Information, for example, table data that includes the name or name of the assessment organization, address or whereabouts, contact e-mail address, telephone number, etc. is stored. In step S21, the information processing apparatus 1 selects an valuation institution that is paired with the type of intellectual property or the field to which the potential value is to be assessed based on the table data, and the contact information of the valuation institution. Alternatively, information on the intellectual property is transmitted to the information processing device 1 used by the assessment organization via a telecommunications line. Alternatively, in order to mail the information on the intellectual property and present it to the valuation institution, print out the information on the intellectual property together with the name or name and address or whereabouts of the valuation institution, and know if necessary. A part or all of the information about the intellectual property may be stored in a storage device such as a flash memory or an optical disk that can be attached to and detached from the information processing device 1.

The information processing device 4 of the valuation institution that has received the information on the intellectual property to be assessed for the potential value returns the value value or the potential value amount determined with reference to the information via the telecommunications line. The valuation institution may be a financial institution such as a bank, various credit bureaus, a university, a national or private research institution, a company with abundant experience in handling the target intellectual property, various non-profit organizations, etc. be. In addition, the information processing device 4 of the assessment organization holds a database 401 regarding the contents and characteristics of the existing intellectual property, the fields of use and technical elements of the intellectual property, the results of commercialization, etc., or such a database 401. May be connected with. In that case, the valuation organization can also refer to the information extracted from the database 401 to determine the creditworthiness of the provider O. Incidentally, this database 401 can be updated by the information about the intellectual property newly acquired by the information processing devices 1 and 4 and the value value or potential value amount of the intellectual property. Then, the potential value acquisition unit 107 receives and acquires information on the value value or the potential value amount of the target intellectual property provided by the information processing device 4 of the assessment organization (step S22). The value value or the potential value amount acquired by the potential value acquisition unit 107 can be stored and held in the intellectual property information storage unit 104 in association with an identifier that identifies the target intellectual property.

The potential value acquisition unit 107 does not always acquire the value value or the potential value amount information of the target intellectual property in the form of receiving it from the information processing device 4 of the valuation institution. In the information processing device 1, information on the intellectual property is displayed or printed out on the screen of the display 1e and presented to the person making the assessment, and the person making the assessment refers to the information and refers to the information of the intellectual property. It is also possible that the value value or the potential value amount is determined and manually input via the input device 1g, and the potential value acquisition unit 107 accepts the input via the input device 1g.

In the information processing device 1 (potential value acquisition unit 107) of this intellectual property information management system or the information processing device 4 of an external assessment organization, the value value or potential value of the target intellectual property is used by using artificial intelligence. It is also possible to determine the amount. Information on a large number of intellectual property (including information such as the content and characteristics of existing intellectual property for each type of intellectual property or the field to which it belongs, the field of use and technical elements of intellectual property, and the results of commercialization. If there is data that combines the value value or potential value amount given to each of those intellectual property (in the intellectual property information acquisition unit 103, etc.), this data was used. It is possible to create artificial intelligence that performs machine learning or data mining and automatically calculates and outputs the value value or potential value amount of the intellectual property when new information about the intellectual property is given. .. The potential value acquisition unit 107 may determine the value value or the potential value amount of the intellectual property by referring to the information about the intellectual property by itself including such artificial intelligence. However, the artificial intelligence may be a rule-based one that determines the value value or potential value amount of the intellectual property by applying the matters included in the information about the intellectual property to a predetermined rule.

The potential value output unit outputs the potential value amount converted from the value value of the intellectual property owned by the provider O acquired by the potential value acquisition unit 107 to be presented to the provider O. For example, information processing used by the contact information of the provider O or the information processing including the amount of potential value to be paid to the provider O of the intellectual property in exchange for the provision of the intellectual property. Transmission to the device 2 via a telecommunications line (step S23). Alternatively, the potential value information may be printed out together with the name or name and address or whereabouts information of the provider O in order to mail the information including the amount of the potential value and present it to the provider O.

The potential return acquisition unit 109 acquires the expected potential return for the provision of the intellectual property, which is determined based on the information on the intellectual property. The expected potential return that the intellectual property provider O is expected to receive when a business using the intellectual property is realized is a simulation of commercialization (profit and loss status, financial status, cash flow status, investment). Estimated by (including simulation of business process and results such as economic calculation). Here, the amount of the potential return acquired by the potential return acquisition unit 109 is only for notifying the provider O as a future forecast, and is not an actual actual value. Unlike the potential value, the potential return is not paid to the provider O unless the intellectual property deposited by the provider O is actually used for the business. In addition, the amount of potential return finally paid to the provider O is fixed after the result or profit of the business using the intellectual property is fixed, and depending on the result or profit, for example, the annual amount is 50,000 yen. It is decided that the annual amount is 100,000 yen, but it can naturally increase or decrease depending on the year.

The potential return information is provided as soon as possible after receiving the intellectual property provided by the provider O, in other words, after receiving the information on the intellectual property provided by the provider O (for example, from the date of provision). Present it to the provider O (within 30 days). As shown in FIG. 8, the information processing device 1 that functions as the potential return acquisition unit 109 is information about intellectual property acquired by the intellectual property information acquisition unit 103 or stored by the intellectual property information storage unit 104. Is transmitted via the telecommunications line to the information processing device 4 of the valuation organization, which is responsible for evaluating and assessing the potential return amount of the intellectual property (step S31).

As already mentioned, the content of intellectual property to be provided by provider O is diverse, and it is difficult for a single valuation organization to always carry out accurate assessments of a wide variety of intellectual property. It can be said that. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a plurality of valuation institutions are established, and the potential return is evaluated by the valuation institution that can most appropriately assess the intellectual property according to the type of intellectual property to be assessed or the field to which the intellectual property belongs. The assessment will be outsourced. As shown in FIG. 7, the main memory 1b or the auxiliary storage device 1c of the information processing device 1 should be entrusted with an assessment of the type or field of the intellectual property and the potential return of the intellectual property in advance. Table data that is a set of information about is stored. In step S31, the information processing apparatus 1 selects an valuation institution that is paired with the type of intellectual property or the field to which the potential return is to be assessed based on the table data, and the contact information of the valuation institution. Alternatively, information on the intellectual property is transmitted to the information processing device 1 used by the assessment organization via a telecommunications line. Alternatively, in order to mail the information about the intellectual property and present it to the appraisal agency, print out the non-service information along with the name or name and address or whereabouts of the appraisal agency, and if necessary, the intellectual property. Part or all of the information related to the information may be stored in a storage device such as a flash memory or an optical disk that can be attached to and detached from the information processing device 1.

The information processing device 4 of the valuation institution that has received the information on the intellectual property to be assessed for the potential value returns the potential return amount determined by referring to the information via the telecommunications line. The information processing device 4 of the valuation organization may have various databases 401 and 402 necessary for simulating the commercialization of intellectual property, or may be linked to such databases 401 and 402. .. Database 402 is a database of financial institutions such as banks and securities companies (responsible for commercialization plans, companies, due diligence, investment and financing), general trading companies (market research and analysis, negotiations with government, financial plans or business plans). Database of (responsible for evaluation), database of corporate industrial organizations (responsible for market, technology, human resources), database of government agencies (responsible for legal norms), database of domestic and overseas universities and research institutions (responsible for evaluation of technology) including. Then, the valuation organization can determine the creditworthiness of the provider O by referring to the information extracted from the databases 401 and 402. Incidentally, the databases 401 and 402 can be updated by the information regarding the intellectual property newly acquired by the information processing devices 1 and 4 and the potential return amount of the intellectual property. Then, the potential return acquisition unit 109 receives and acquires information on the potential return amount of the target intellectual property provided by the information processing device 4 of the assessment organization (step S32). The potential return amount acquired by the potential return acquisition unit 109 can be stored and held in the intellectual property information storage unit 104 in association with an identifier that identifies the target intellectual property.

The potential return acquisition unit 109 does not always acquire information on the potential return amount of the target intellectual property in the form of receiving it from the information processing device 4 of the valuation institution. In the information processing device 1, information on the intellectual property is displayed or printed out on the screen of the display 1e and presented to the person making the assessment, and the person making the assessment refers to the information and refers to the information of the intellectual property. It is also possible that the potential return amount is determined and manually input via the input device 1g, and the potential return acquisition unit 109 accepts the input via the input device 1g.

The information processing device 1 (potential return acquisition unit 109) of the intellectual property information management system or the information processing device 4 of an external assessment organization determines the potential return amount of the target intellectual property using artificial intelligence. It is also possible to do it. If there is data that combines information on a large number of intellectual properties and the amount of potential return given to each of those intellectual properties (in the Intellectual Property Information Acquisition Department 103, etc.), use this data. It is possible to create artificial intelligence that automatically calculates and outputs the potential return amount of an intellectual property when new information about the intellectual property is given by performing machine learning or data mining. The potential return acquisition unit 109 may determine the potential return amount of the intellectual property by referring to the information about the intellectual property by itself including such artificial intelligence. However, the artificial intelligence may be a rule-based one that determines the potential return amount of the intellectual property by applying the matters included in the information about the intellectual property to a predetermined rule.

The potential return output unit outputs the potential return amount converted from the return value of the intellectual property owned by the provider O acquired by the potential return acquisition unit 109 to be presented to the provider O. For example, information processing used by the contact information of the provider O or the information processing including the amount of potential return to be paid to the provider O of the intellectual property in exchange for the provision of the intellectual property. Transmission to the device 2 via a telecommunications line (step S33). Alternatively, the potential return information may be printed out together with the name or name and address or whereabouts of the provider O in order to mail the information including the amount of the potential return and present it to the provider O.

The intellectual property information management system of this embodiment realizes an "Intellectual Property Bank" that has a large number of intellectual properties with high technical capabilities, brand value, attractiveness as contents, and the potential for commercialization. NS. Prior to commercialization using intellectual property, this system evaluates the intellectual property, determines its potential value, and notifies the provider O of the intellectual property. From the standpoint of provider O, there is an incentive to deposit intellectual property with the operator M of this system, and the value of intellectual property owned and provided by oneself is evaluated in the form of potential value and potential return. Will be able to receive.

Also, in the 21st century, informatics has made tremendous development. Data mining using deep learning or deep reinforcement learning artificial intelligence is making it possible to classify and analyze vast amounts of data and use it to predict the future. By collecting and accumulating a large amount of intellectual property information as big data in this system, as shown in Fig. 9, the calculation accuracy of potential value and potential return is improved, that is, the feasibility of commercialization of each intellectual property. And it becomes easy to accurately grasp the utility value, which can greatly contribute to its commercialization. Moreover, the results of the commercialization of intellectual property can be fed back to big data to reinforce the learning model and promote system efficiency, optimization, and evolution.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described in detail above. The specific configuration of each part, the processing procedure, and the like can be variously modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
