Definitions

  • This invention deals with worldwide Patent Offices conducting patentability searches as well as hiring worldwide law firms.
  • Patents indicate recognition of the novelty, nonobviousness, and usefulness (e.g. industrial applicability) of new ideas. T hey are not contracts or commissions of work. Of course, some countries can require manufacturing (called working requirements) or revoke a patent if the holder fails to do so. Other nations let the patent holder choose whether and when to manufacture.
  • a fourth misconception is that because the inventor recouped her upfront R&D costs in her own domestic market, there is no need to provide her with exclusive protection in foreign markets. Thus, the output should be competitively supplied in foreign markets, especially in the less developed.
  • inventors may seek global markets precisely because their kinds of inventions require a larger world market to help recoup their costs.3
  • knowing that they can serve a larger world market influences the scale of inventors' research projects. If it is only possible to recoup R&D costs from the (smaller) domestic markets, inventors may choose smaller than potential investments in R&D. This would be a loss to global welfare to the extent that the potential technology could have been useful in various national economies.
  • global patent protection is increasingly necessary in a world where imitation risks are greater and more widespread
  • the Paris Convention allows inventors in member countries up to 12 months to file an application in other member countries after first filing in one member country (usually the country of origin of the inventor). The inventor thus reserves that initial filing date, for 12 months, for purposes of establishing who was first to file. A few other international treaties should be mentioned.
  • the Patent Cooperation Treaty permits inventors to file a single "international" patent application in as many of the member nations they wish to designate.
  • the PCT establishes priority, as before with the Paris Treaty, on the basis of the earliest domestic filing.
  • the filing of a PCT application also extends the deadline for filing foreign applications in member nations to 20 months (i.e. adds 8 months to the 12 from the Paris Treaty).
  • EPO application The advantages of a single EPO application are: a) language, as the application can be made in any one of the three languages (English, French, or German), but upon grant, it must be translated into the native languages of the countries designed in the application; b) a single, centralized examination; c) filing-cost savings (provided coverage is sought in at least 3 member nations).
  • a disadvantage of the EPO application is that the applicant puts all her "eggs in one basket.” If the EPO rejects the patent application, the applicant cannot then apply directly to national patent offices. While the EPO patent has effect in each of the jurisdictions designated, it is enforced individually within the national jurisdictions.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a method and system of combining patent data and connecting examiners and law firms on one platform. Previously this was impossible because it would require massive collaboration and secure servers.
  • the present invention proposes a method of solving the issues associated with the patent ecosystem and the IP system as a whole, is to use a decentralized approach via blockchain technology.
  • Blockchain technology (sometimes simply referred to as a blockchain) was developed and has been used in certain digital currency implementations.
  • An example implementation and corresponding blockchain techniques are described in a 2008 article by Satoshi Nakamoto, called "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System," the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
  • the blockchain may be privately hosted (e.g., where all member nodes are run and provided by the same entity or a controlled group of entities).
  • the blockchain may be a distributed blockchain, such as the one provided by the bitcoin network.
  • the term blockchain as used herein is not confined to the so-called blockchain that is only used for the bitcoin cryptographic currency.
  • the blockchain is a data structure that stores a list of transactions and can be thought of as a distributed electronic ledger that records transactions between source identifier(s) and destination identifier(s). Every transaction is "to" a destination identifier that is associated with a public/private key pair.
  • outputs from other, prior transactions that are to the "from" address (which may be multiple different addresses derived from the same private key) are used as inputs for this new transaction.
  • the new transaction is then encumbered with the public key associated with the "to" destination identifier. In other words, outputs from prior blockchain transactions are used as inputs for new transactions that are then signed using the public key associated with the destination address.
  • the new blockchain transaction is then submitted to the blockchain.
  • Blockchain technology holds great promise for a range of industries and business cases, including the patent asset class. That is because a Blockchain can be viewed as a type of shared database, the contents of which are verified and agreed upon by a network or independent actors. For a new piece of data (such as the owner of a newly issued patent) to be added to the Blockchain, the independent verifiers must come to consensus on its validity.
  • each new set of transactions (a "block") is cryptographically linked to the previous block, it is extraordinarily difficult to change data stored in a Blockchain and any such change would be readily detectable.
  • blockchains are widely considered to be immutable and thus can serve as a record of proof of ownership.
  • Private keys are used to sign transactions digitally, a form authentication to ensure that a given user has genuinely generated a transaction.
  • Blockchain is a relatively new technology.
  • Blockchain data transfer is currently considered one the most secure technologies for digital asset transfer due to its distributed nature and use of sophisticated cryptography. Smart contracts, therefore, offer a potential solution for the management of patent transactions via the introduction of a universal, distributed ledger that does not require trust in a single third party.
  • the Bitcoin blockchain is limited to sets of simple information and scripts such as transaction details, and conditioning a transaction on a minimum number of signatories. It was therefore argued that for a virtual currency to truly revolutionize trade it must also provide built-in means for facilitating complex contracts and deals with the currency.
  • Project Ethereum builds upon Bitcoin. Not only does it allow decentralized data storage in its blockchain, Ethereum also allows storing program code on its blockchain and running it concurrently by any number of network members. By predicating release of funds upon verifiable occurrences, Ethereum enables smart contract functionality.
  • a network member uploads a computer program written in one of several permitted languages to the blockchain. The member may then condition the release of an amount of ETH (the currency underlying Ethereum) upon reaching the end of this program. Various network members thereafter run the program concurrently and reach a consensus on the resulted output.
  • ETH the currency underlying Ethereum
  • This feature allows any member to issue and trade with a custom virtual currency upon the Ethereum network.
  • a custom virtual currency issued and based upon another virtual currency is referred to as a Token.
  • a Token may have various uses. While a certain Token will represent money, another Token will represent club member points or frequent flyer points. Tokens may be traded for ETH or for any other commodities and Tokens via the Ethereum or the IBM Hyperledger network.
  • the proposed method envisions platform on a decentralized network, which connects examiners with prior art, inventors with law firms, and a new system by which to approach the global patenting process.
  • FIG. 1 is an illustration depicting an exemplary operating environment including one or more user computers, computing devices, or processing devices, which can be used to operate a client, such as a dedicated application, web browser is shown.
  • a client such as a dedicated application, web browser is shown.
  • FIG. 2 is another illustration depicting an exemplary operating environment including a computer system with various elements as shown.
  • Figure 3 is an illustration of one aspect of the present invention.
  • the present invention will allow for the simultaneous cooperation between multiple, worldwide National Patent Offices ("NPOs").
  • NPOs National Patent Offices
  • All prior art for a given patent in examination is stored in one repository (such as provided by the present invention) and it is (at first) controlled by cooperating national Patent Offices.
  • the repository can be controlled by other parties that are not national Patent Offices.
  • the invention can also be on/utilize the public blockchain.
  • the invention is not required to be on/utilize the blockchain at all. It is not required that the invention be on the blockchain.
  • the invention can utilize a combination of public blockchain and private blockchain.
  • Patent applicant can cite art in the present invention, and all of the examiners at all the POs can see the art in one spot. As continuations are filed, it would be simple to access the same records. Patent Examiners can also cite art in the present invention. Whenever any Patent Examiner cites prior art to a patent family, then that art will also be added to the repository.
  • third parties can cite art to a patent family, and the art will also be added to the repository.
  • the present invention will have measures to reduce spam, by charging the third party one (1) token to upload prior art. If the third party prior art citation is credible, then he can receive up to ten tokens. For example, a competitor could pay out the ten 10 tokens. For example, for a patent application filed by Apple, Samsung might voluntarily offer to pay out 10 tokens for that patent application. Samsung could choose whether the 10 tokens all go to one person (either the Patent Examiner or a third party), or if the 10 tokens should be paid out to 10 different people with 1 token going to each person.
  • Patent Examiners can save their patent search strategies. That way, other people can review, modify, and improve their search strategies. For example, some Examiners in other countries could use the same search strategies, after translating the customized search queries into their native home country languages.
  • third parties could also use social networking/collaboration features to assist each other with their crowdsourced patentability searches.
  • the system will also be available for Amendments to the claims filed during the prosecution of a patent application.
