Description

Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of providing a user interface for managing an intellectual property and an intellectual property information system supporting the intellectual property,

The present invention relates to a method for providing a user interface for managing intellectual property and an intellectual property information system supporting the same.

As society becomes more sophisticated, there is an increasing demand to report on intellectual property such as patents, trademarks, designs, copyrights and know-how. In particular, in the case of a company that has a large amount of intellectual property, it is developing a database and an intellectual property management system for managing a large amount of intellectual property with limited manpower.

KR Patent No. 10-0676693 discloses a patent management portal service system. The system includes a patent information database, a patent information search / analysis system, and an IP portal service system unit to manage the application related data and processes by linking the patent office with the self-organization.

Also, KR Patent Application No. 10-2007-0103218 discloses an intellectual property management system, which is a system for managing a plurality of bibliographic information on a plurality of intellectual property rights and respective intellectual property rights, Is managed separately.

In addition, KR Patent Application No. 10-0956142 relates to an intellectual property rights management system and method based on a graphical form display, and relates to a system and method for managing intellectual property rights in which a search is performed according to contents selected by a user, Server and an intellectual property rights management system and method based thereon.

Also, KR Patent Publication No. 10-2014-0066654 relates to a system for integrated management of intellectual property rights, in which basic data necessary for managing intellectual property rights are coded and integrated with intellectual property rights Management system.

As such, various web-based systems and methods for efficiently managing intellectual property rights have been developed and commercialized. In addition, the intellectual property management system, the intellectual property management method, and the user interface for the intellectual property management, which have been developed so far, provide effective methods for managing dozens or hundreds or dozens of intellectual property rights. However, in addition to the existing thousands of intellectual property rights, thousands of intellectual property rights are newly filed and registered in enterprises, so that the user interface, intellectual property management method and integration The need for development of intellectual property information system is increasing.

For example, in the above-mentioned prior arts mentioned above, in order to apply for an intellectual property right (for example, a patent right), a patent person in each company has to go through several to several stages in an intellectual property management system, As the number of intellectual property rights managed by the system increases and the number of people accessing the system increases, inevitably the operation speed of the intellectual property information system necessarily becomes very slow.

FIGS. 1A and 1B are diagrams for explaining a process in which a patent person in charge of an enterprise uses a system to apply for an intellectual property right in the conventional intellectual property information system.

That is, referring to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, it is possible to confirm whether the patent person in charge of the corporation accesses the intellectual property information system for one patent application and undergoes a normal procedure several times.

Referring to FIG. 1A, as a first step, the patent manager clicks a workflow item in a menu.

Workflow items include 'Inventor Workflow' for inventor management, 'Patent Workflow' for patent management, 'Design Workflow' for design management, 'Trademark management' A 'Trademark Workflow' and a 'To-Do List' field for showing the work to be done by the person in charge.

In the second step, the patent agent clicks on the patent workflow item. In this case, fields of 'patent application', 'domestic application', 'overseas application', 'irregular', and 'other' fields for patent management are tabulated and displayed on the user screen.

As a third step, the patent manager can click on the domestic application menu to confirm the information required for domestic application. The information required for the domestic application includes a field of "application item" for requesting the patent office for the invention invented by the inventor, a field "creating a pseudonym" indicating the patent cases in which the specification is being written by the patent office after the application item, In the field of 'Review of alias name' field, which is completed by the patent office and is uploaded to the intellectual property information system, indicating the patent cases that the patent officer should carry out the review, the patent official decides the application and instructs the patent office to file the application. And 'filed' fields indicating the patent cases for which a document such as a completed application document is to be input, are displayed on the user screen.

As a fourth step, the patent manager can click on the "Review alias" field displayed on the screen to view the aliases currently being reviewed. The aliases to be reviewed may be listed at the bottom of the screen of the patent officer.

As a fifth step, the patent agent can click on the reference number, etc., on the list of subjects to be evaluated on the list in order to review one of them. Referring to FIG. 1B, in the fifth step of FIG. 1A, information such as bibliographic details, event processing details, event processing list, and the like are displayed in a pop-up form for the inquiries made by the patent manager.

In the sixth step, the patent officer looks for a pseudonym file uploaded to the intellectual property information system by the patent office on the pop-up output screen to review the alias created by the patent office. If the patent officer finds the alias file, click on the file (alias file linked to the attachment item). Thereafter, the alien registration file is also displayed in a pop-up form on the screen of the patent official.

In the seventh step, the patent officer reviews the allegation file in the strike action window and closes the incident handling window.

In the eighth stage, the patent officer can carry out an evaluation of the level of specification of the specification by clicking on the evaluation item for subsequent application quality control for the reviewed pseudonymity. This evaluation step can be automatically popped up when the event processing window is closed in the seventh step or popped up by the user's inquiry. If the patent officer creates and saves the evaluation item, the evaluation screen of the alias registry closes and the review of the alien registry shown in the previous step is displayed again.

In the ninth step, the patent manager selects and clicks the reference number for the evaluated patent case, and clicks on the 'filing direction' field. When the application instruction item is selected, an application instruction screen for inputting the contents of the application instruction (that is, a comment to be transmitted to the patent office, etc.) pops up.

In the tenth step, the patent manager shall state the matter to be forwarded to the patent office (ie, the contents of the application order). Thereafter, the patent officer uploads the attachment file and instructs the storage and filing of the file if there is a modification or a file to be delivered to the patent office, and the series of processes for filing the patent application ends.

The above-described process is performed without any errors or problems in each process, and a specific step may be repeated or regressed when an operation such as a trouble or rewriting of an application document is performed during each process.

As described above, in the pop-up screen structure, at least ten screen switching and at least four pop-up windows are exposed to the patent officer for one patent application. Of course, as the process is added, the number of screen switching and pop-up windows output to the patent clerk increases. For example, when a company's patent officer confirms information to be referred to in making a decision on the overall application of a patent, such as a new patent application, a response and decision in case of occurrence of an intermediate case, Consumption may increase.

In addition, as the number of intellectual property managed by the intellectual property information system increases, and as the number of users using the system increases, the inevitable problem is the processing delay of the system. For example, if it takes approximately 13 seconds for a single screen transition and 30 to 40 seconds for a popup window to be displayed, it takes approximately 250 seconds (approximately 6 to 7 minutes) Is consumed.

However, the work that one patent officer handles is not only the patent application but also the patent maintenance work, such as intermediate case processing, cost verification and patent office processing. That is, each patent officer handles an average of 42 workings per day in a specific company, and screen switching and inquiry are performed on an average of 8 times per each screen. Assuming that each waiting time is 13 seconds, The waiting time for conversion only reaches 73 minutes, which makes online processing very inefficient. Furthermore, if a company has more than 100 patent officers and thousands of intellectual property rights are filed and processed in a year, the loss caused by delays in the intellectual property information system becomes too large.

In addition, since the delay problem increases as the volume of the intellectual property information system grows, various methods for drastically reducing the delay time need to be sought.

For example, if a person in charge of a company wants to handle an incident related to a patent overseas OA, the person in charge selects the patent category from the workflow of the first stationary menu, and the menu of overseas OA displayed in the second stationary menu displays The fields to which they belong can be set to be displayed together.

FIGS. 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, and 4E are diagrams illustrating a UI for providing an intellectual property management method provided by TIPIS.

4A is a diagram for explaining a basic screen in a UI provided by TIPIS. The basic screen means a screen provided to the user through the user terminal when a user selects a specific item in the first fixed menu in order to process work related to the intellectual property right in the UI provided through TIPIS. However, the basic screen described with reference to FIG. 4A can be applied mainly to an event processing method provided by a workflow item (or function).

Referring to FIG. 4A, the basic screen includes a first fixed menu 3100, a second fixed menu 4100, and a variable information area 4200. The variable information area 4200 is output to a portion where the first fixed menu 3100 and the second fixed menu 4100 are not overlapped with the region or the position where the first fixed menu 3100 and the second fixed menu 4100 are outputted. The variable information area 4200 refers to an area where a user outputs important information and a file for a specific event when processing a specific event and provides information so that the user can efficiently process the task.

Hereinafter, the structure of the variable information area 4200 will be described with reference to a process of a patent application. The basic screen of FIG. 4A is a screen displayed when a user who is in charge of an intellectual property right of a company proceeds a process of a patent application for requesting a domestic office to prepare a specification for patent application. However, this screen configuration can be applied to the case where the respective event processing fields included in the menus during the pending application as well as the menus during the overseas application and the menu among the irregular menus are selected.

The user can access the screen of FIG. 4A in two ways. First, when the user first accesses TIPIS, he / she selects (i.e., clicks) the filed field of the menu in the domestic application from the domestic application menu of the initial screen described in FIG. The second method can be used when the user has already connected to TIPIS and is using another function and then proceeding with the application. For example, when the user clicks the patent field (or the patent category) among the selection areas displayed when the user clicks the workflow item of the first fixed menu, all the menus associated with the patent application are displayed on the second fixed menu. At this time, the user can select a domestic pending menu on the second fixed menu and select a filed field.

Referring to FIG. 4A, in the variable information area 4200, events to be managed or processed by the user connected to the TIPIS are displayed in a list format. For example, in the case of a domestic application, a reference number (Ref.) For identifying each event and the name of the invention are listed and displayed.

At this time, if the user selects a reference number of an event to request an application item from the list, the UI unit 190 or the workflow unit 160 of the TIPIS outputs a screen configured as shown in FIG. 4B to the user.

Referring to FIG. 4B, the variable information area 4200 is divided into three areas. In the first area 4210, a list of events held by the user is continuously output and displayed. In the second area 4220, bibliographic information of the event corresponding to the reference number selected by the user is output. In the third area 4230, a representative file for the event or a file that the user should firstly review to process the event may be automatically output.

In more detail, in the second area 4220, important information necessary for the user to process the event is displayed. That is, the TIPIS can collect the minimum information necessary for the user to make a decision for processing a specific event and output it to the second area. For example, bibliographic information about the event may be output to the second area at the time of the application. The bibliographic information to be output includes the reference number of the case, the name of the invention, the name of the invention, the business unit, the information of the office subject to the application, the name of the person in charge of the case, the name of the person in charge of the office, the inventor information, management grade, family information and / .

The bibliographic information is bibliographic information corresponding to each field when the fields included in all the menus displayed on the workflow are selected. The bibliographic information is output to the second area, which can help the user to handle the decision on the event very quickly. Particularly, in the existing patent management system, information to be clicked and extracted by the user is optimally displayed on one screen (in particular, the second area), so that the user can additionally search other information or unnecessary screen switching or pop- There is no need.

In addition, a representative document or a file to be reviewed first (such representative document or primary file may be output on the system as a predefined document (eg, claim, statement, drawing or review comment) (Which may be a designated file) is automatically output to the third area 4230, so that, in the most preferable case, the user can review the representative document automatically and process the corresponding event. For example, the bibliographic information on the reference number selected by the user at the time of the application is output to the second area, and the application request sheet prepared by the inventor can be output to the third area as the representative file. Accordingly, the user can review the bibliographic information of the second area and the application request of the third area, and then complete the case of the application item at the specific office.

As described above, the third area 4230 can output a representative file or a file to be reviewed first. In the third area, information or a document linked with an external system, that is, an off-site system, may be output. For example, if the user selects an external patent / non-patent document linked to the first area or the second area, the corresponding data may be output to the third area.

4C is a diagram illustrating the second area and the third area as UIs provided to the user in more detail. FIG. 4C illustrates a UI displayed on the screen of the user terminal when the 'Review Pseudonymity' field is selected from among the pending applications in the domestic application.

When the user selects the 'Pseudonym Sequence Review' field in the second fixed menu or the initial screen of the basic screen, the pseudonym system events to be reviewed by the user are listed and displayed in the first area 4210. When the user selects a reference number for a specific event in the list output in the first area, bibliographic information optimized for reviewing the pseudonym corresponding to the reference number selected in the second area 4220 is output, 3 area 4230 is automatically output as a first review document, the draft of the specification made at the domestic office.

The [last action] item may be further added to the second area 4220. [ The [Recent Action Item] can show the user what event processing has been done recently for the event. For example, in the [recent action] column, you can see the details of the request of the domestic patent specification by the patent department of the enterprise and the draft of the domestic specification that was uploaded after the specification was made in the domestic office.

When the user selects the 'Draft draft of domestic specification' field in the [Recent action] item, a pop-up window including an event name, document processing date, a comment on the statement in the domestic office, a preview image of the attached file, So that the user can check additional information necessary for processing the event.

Further, in the second area 4220, an evaluation item for performing an evaluation on the pseudonym for the person in charge of the company who is the user after reviewing the pseudonymity may be additionally output. Accordingly, the user can perform the bibliographic information confirmation, the pseudonym pseudo file review and the pseudonym pseudonym assessment processing at once in the single screen when reviewing the pseudonym pseudonym.

Furthermore, since the list of pseudonyms to be reviewed by the user (i.e., the list displayed in the variable screen area of FIG. 4A) is displayed again in the first area 4210, the user can additionally add one or more pseudonyms If you want to review, you can select a reference number for another pseudonymity in the first area without having to go through the workflow again from the beginning. In this case, since the information displayed in the second area and the third area is changed and output to the other pseudonym device, the user can minimize unnecessary screen switching.

The list displayed in the first area in the process of the above-described application product or the process of reviewing the alias name enables the user to batch process a plurality of events. That is, by checking the check box formed before the reference number of each case, it is possible to collectively process the process of reviewing the application items or the alienation process for two or more cases.

4B and 4C, the second area 4220 and / or the third area 4230 may be configured not to be displayed according to the setting, or may be set to be output as a pop-up screen separately. This is because if the user terminal supports dual monitors, the user can more efficiently review the bibliographic information and the representative document that should be confirmed as important information.

4D is a view for explaining one of the methods for managing intellectual property through UI provided to the user in TIPIS.

The intellectual property management method illustrated in FIG. 4D is a method provided by the workflow unit 160 of the TIPIS, and intellectual property rights can be applied to cases related to patent, trademark, and design. Also, the aspect of the application process can be applied to cases corresponding to the application product, the domestic application menu, the overseas application menu, and the non-regular menu. In addition, the process illustrated in FIG. 4D may be provided to the user terminal through the UI illustrated in FIGS. 4A through 4C.

The user can use TIPIS based on the UI provided through the user terminal. The user selects an item desired by the user from the items displayed on the first fixed menu. That is, when the user selects a category or field of a specific item in the first fixed menu, the first selection signal is transmitted to the TIPIS, and the TIPIS can receive the first selection signal. The first selection signal may include user information, information on a specific item selected by the user, and information on a specific category. In the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that the user selects a category related to 'patent' in the workflow item in the first fixed menu (S4010).

The TIPIS outputs a menu and a field to a second fixed menu provided on the screen of the user terminal according to the first selection signal. At this time, the middle menu and the fields are the specific items included in the first selection signal and the selection information according to the specific category. At this time, the description of the middle menu and fields can be referred to the description of FIG. 3 (S4020).

The user can select a specific field to process a particular event in the second fixed menu displayed on the screen of the user terminal. At this time, a second selection signal is generated according to the user's selection and transmitted to the TIPIS. At this time, it is assumed that the user selects a middle menu (or a menu in domestic application) of the patented product in the patent category (S4030).

Upon receiving the second selection signal, TIPIS outputs the event list corresponding to the second selection signal to the variable information area 4200 formed on the UI screen. When the user selects the field of 'application item', the second selection signal may include field information and user information indicating that the user has selected the application item (S4040).

The user selects a progress status field corresponding to a reference number or reference number for a specific event in the event list output in the variable information area of the user terminal. At this time, the user terminal generates and transmits the third selection signal to the TIPIS, and the third selection signal may include reference number information, progress status information, and / or user information of the event selected by the user (S4050).

Upon receiving the third selection signal, the TIPIS outputs the bibliographic information and / or the representative document for the specific event to the second area and / or the third area of the variable information area according to the third selection signal (S4060).

In step S4060, the event list output in step S4050 is continuously output to the first area of the variable information area.

The user can review the bibliographic information and / or the representative document output on the screen of the user terminal and complete the processing of the incident (S4070).

The meaning of TIPIS in " outputting " in FIG. 4D means providing the user with all or part of the intellectual property management method and / or user interface according to the specific selection signal or according to the initialization information through the user terminal. The " screen " of the user terminal means means that the user is provided with an intellectual property management method or a user interface such as a monitor or a display unit of the user terminal.

In FIG. 4D, if the second selection signal is generated in the initial screen described in FIG. 3, steps S4010 to S4020 may not be performed. Steps S4010 to S4020 may be performed when the user is connected to the TIPIS to process other tasks and then processes tasks related to the workflow items.

The methods described in FIG. 4D can be performed in the UI unit 190 described in FIG. For example, the UI unit 190 may generate a UI for functions provided by the workflow unit in association with the workflow unit. The UI unit outputs the first fixed menu and the second fixed menu on the screen of the user terminal capable of accessing the TIPIS, outputs the fields corresponding to the items configured in the first fixed menu to the second fixed menu, When a field of the event list is selected, an event list including one or more events related to the selected field is output to the variable information area of the screen, and when one event is selected from the event list, Outputs basic information including bibliographic information for processing the selected event in the second area of the variable information area and outputs a representative file for processing the selected event in the third area of the variable information area, And can provide and provide.

FIG. 4E is a diagram for explaining the conversion of the UI screen according to the intellectual property management method illustrated in FIG. 4D in a time-series manner.

FIG. 4E illustrates a case where the intellectual property management method is applied to the process of the application as one of the embodiments of the present invention. At this time, it is assumed that the field of the application is composed of a menu of the application.

Referring to FIG. 4E, as a first step, the user clicks on the workflow item in the first fixed menu 3100 for the application. When a workflow item is clicked, a category (that is, kind) of an intellectual property right to be processed such as a patent, a trademark, a design, and the like is displayed immediately below a workflow item. When a user selects a patent category, Fields for the application of the patent and the fields corresponding to the middle menu are displayed in the second fixed menu 4100. [ At this time, screen switching occurs one time.

As a second step, the user can select the application item (i.e., generate the second selection information) among the menus displayed in the second fixed menu 4100. When the application is selected, a list of events that the user is responsible for is displayed in the variable information area 4200. At this time, one screen switching occurs.

As a third step, when a user selects a progress state (i.e., generates third selection information) mapped to a reference number or a reference number for a specific event, the user enters a variable information area including the first, second, An event list, bibliographic information, and a representative file in charge of the event are output. At this time, screen switching occurs one time.

As a fourth step, the user can review the information output in the variable information area and process the relevant case.

In other words, when utilizing the intellectual property management method and UI according to the embodiment of the present invention, the user can change the screen by one or two screen switching and / or one popup screen at the first TIPIS connection to process one case. And can process one task at least three times during screen switching and one pop-up screen less than once even while using TIPIS. Therefore, in comparison with the conventional intellectual property system described in FIG. 1, since the conventional method requires at least 10 screen switching and four pop-ups to process one event, the user of the present invention is very efficient It can handle tasks quickly.

5 is a diagram illustrating a UI provided by TIPIS to a user when the user terminal supports dual monitors.

5A shows an example of a UI displayed on the screen of the user terminal when the user terminal supports a single monitor. In this case, the first, second, and third areas 4210, 4220, and 4230 of the variable information area are all output in one screen. At this time, the second and / or third areas may be separately displayed on the pop-up screen according to the setting of the user or the system.

5 (B) shows an example of a UI displayed on the screen of the user terminal when the user terminal supports dual monitors. 5B, the first fixed menu 3100, the second fixed menu 4100, and the first area 4210 of the variable information area are output to the main monitor of the user terminal, and the second area 4220 And / or the third region 4230 may be automatically output to the extended monitor of the user terminal. Of course, the second region and / or the third region may be automatically popped up instead of being automatically output, but may be controlled to be displayed on the main monitor or the extended monitor according to the user's selection.

6 is a diagram for explaining one of the batch processing methods provided by TIPIS.

It has been briefly explained that batch processing for a plurality of tasks is possible by continuously outputting the event list in the first area in the variable information area during the work process according to the workflow. FIG. 6 illustrates in detail how to perform batch processing for various events.

TIPIS provides a batch processing function to efficiently process various events with the same level of decision making process. For example, there is a billing fee confirmation / approval, an application instruction, a registration instruction, a registration maintenance evaluation, a charity evaluation and an opinion submission instruction of a patented product. If these tasks are separately processed by the method described in FIG. 4D, steps S4010 to S4070 must be repeated for each case.

Accordingly, the TIPIS can provide a UI so that the user can select a desired batch of processes by outputting a check box for collective processing in front of the event list displayed in the first area.

At this time, TIPIS may further output an alarm indication (4211) in front of the check box with respect to the cost approval. These alarm displays can be color-coded. For example, blue alarms indicate events that can not be processed in batches, and green alarms and / or yellow alarms indicate events that can be processed in batches. For example, blue means an event requiring a careful review of the charge by the business person, and green and / or yellow means an event that does not need to be scrutinized due to the costs incurred in normal processing.

There are two batch processing methods. The first method is to select a case to perform the same processing after the user reviews each case, collectively make a settlement, and the second method is to select and process events to be batch processed . The following two methods are described in detail.

The first method for batch processing is to process the events corresponding to the check box checked by the user in a batch with the same command.

For example, if a user accepts a charge for an event with REF #xx, accepts the charge for an event with REF #yy, and pays for an event with REF #zz, You can check the check box for yy to issue an approval command. Referring to FIG. 4D, the user and the TIPIS may perform only the steps S4050 and S4060 for the remaining batch processing events after performing the method of FIG. 4D for the first time. For example, since the user's event list is continuously displayed in the first region 4210, the user can select and review each event from the event list, check the check box for the events to be approved, have.

The second method for batch processing can be applied to cases in which the events corresponding to checkboxes checked by the user are batch processed but it is not always necessary to process them with the same command.

For example, the user can select a check box for events marked green and / or yellow in the first area and press the batch button. In this case, the bibliographic information, the event details, and the cost information are sequentially displayed in the second area 4220 according to the order of the reference numbers (descending order or ascending order) and the alarm display color, The representative documents corresponding to the respective events can be sequentially output. The user can choose to approve, hold or reject for each event, and process the last case of the selected batches to end the process for that job.

Referring to FIG. 4D, in the second batch process, steps S4010 to S4050 are performed only once in the TIPIS, and only the number of processes selected in the batch process in step S4060 is performed. Therefore, the processing speed on the system or the work efficiency of the user increases accordingly. Of course, the third selection signal in batch processing must include all of the information about the events selected for batch processing.

As another aspect of the present embodiment, based on the UI screen shown in Fig. 6, the user can determine the suitability of the cost for a specific event. For example, if a user selects a particular event from the list of events output in the first area, bibliographic information, cost-related event detail information, and cost information for that event may be output to the second area 4220 .

If the amount of information output to the second area is too large to be displayed on one screen, a scroll bar is generated on the lower or right side of the second area to display bibliographic information and cost information. In addition, based on the statistical data on the cost of other events according to the case history, the current cost distribution can be displayed in the second area as a chart. By displaying the position of the cost for the current case in the chart, It can help determine whether the cost of the event is appropriate.

If the user wants to know the details of the event details, if the 'event details' item or field is selected on the second area, the cost related files such as the invoice for the event details are displayed in the third area 4230 . Accordingly, the user can select one of approval, suspension, or rejection for the cost of the event on the basis of the information displayed in the second area and the third area.

This type of UI can be used for the following purposes: 'Review of anonymity', 'Review of opinion', 'Registration management', 'Registration maintenance evaluation', ' Or the " Create < / RTI > Review " fields are selected, the second area and / or the third area can be applied to help the user who is the company manager perform the cost review more rationally.

7 is a diagram for explaining the registration maintenance evaluation function provided by TIPIS.

Referring to Fig. 7, the screen configuration of the UI for the registration maintenance evaluation function is basically the same as that of Fig. 4B described above.

Unlike the existing intellectual property management system, TIPIS eliminates the case-by-case evaluation phase in the registration maintenance evaluation. In addition, TIPIS may display (4221) the maintenance and abandonment of the family tendency in the second region 4220, display the next annual cost, and display the annual listing information of the last year. In addition, the TIPIS can display the original text information and the file view screen for the event from the external search agency in the third area 4230. In addition, TIPIS may make it possible to maintain the registration maintenance evaluation service at the time of collective selection in the case of registration maintenance, but the abandonment or maintenance of some of the claims may be set to be processed only on an event basis.

The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. Accordingly, the above description should not be construed in a limiting sense in all respects and should be considered illustrative. The scope of the present invention should be determined by rational interpretation of the appended claims, and all changes within the scope of equivalents of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention. In addition, claims that do not have an explicit citation in the claims may be combined to form an embodiment or be included in a new claim by amendment after the filing.

The present invention can be applied to an intellectual property management system for managing intellectual property in a corporation.
