A cloud-based service that connects entrepreneurs and venture capitalists globally to facilitate funding of innovations. The service provides a secure portal with separate interfaces for entrepreneurs and investors. Entrepreneurs can publish and present their intellectual property for review by interested investors. They retain control over their ideas until granted access. The system allows translation to facilitate multilingual exposure. The aim is to provide a global platform for entrepreneurs to connect with investors regardless of geographic proximity.

A system to connect innovators, researchers, and funding sources to accelerate the dissemination of scientific knowledge and funding of research projects. The system involves an open platform where innovators can disclose their technologies and researchers can access them. Funding sources can browse and fund selected projects. Collaborations between innovators, researchers, and sources result in manuscripts that can become published articles. The platform aims to streamline funding, dissemination, and collaboration compared to traditional journals and grant applications.

Marketplace system for facilitating publication, development, and adoption of useful inventions using social learning and decision support processes. The system provides a platform for inventors to publish and collaborate on ideas, seek support to obtain patents, and potentially monetize ideas through compensation mechanisms. It leverages mechanisms like ratings, analysis, collaboration, and analytics to identify, assess, categorize, and draw attention to good ideas. The marketplace aims to enhance inventor value beyond patent protection, provide alternative reward systems, and foster open dialog for idea development.

Facilitating funding for scientific research and technology advancement by structuring financial instruments backed by intellectual property to provide investment returns while mitigating risks. The method involves creating financial products like bonds or funds to invest in specific targeted areas of innovation. These products provide a way for investors to fund early-stage research projects and share in the returns if the technology succeeds. The investments are backed by intellectual property generated from the targeted innovation areas. This allows investors to participate in the financial upside of technology development without the risk of angel investing or venture capital.

A network for facilitating the creation of new businesses and organizations by leveraging the existing networks of its members. The network, called a Professional Connection Network (PCN), allows members to search for and connect with other members based on their skills, experience, and relationships. This enables entrepreneurs to easily find and recruit the right people for their ventures. The network also provides tools for evaluating and validating potential candidates. Members can charge a fee for their expertise and references. The network can charge additional fees for these services.

Online marketplace for buying, selling, and licensing intellectual property (IP) assets. It provides a platform for IP owners to list their patents, trademarks, etc. for sale, and for buyers to search, analyze, and purchase IP. The platform has sections for finding IP through data analysis, rating listings, feedback sharing, and transactions. It aims to improve the IP market by enabling efficient discovery, review, and transfer of IP assets.

A system called the Universal Economy Enhancement System (UEES) to address economic problems like unemployment by gathering and rewarding new business ideas. It involves a central institution where inventors submit ideas, which are reviewed, developed, and commercialized. The inventor receives royalties for life. A fee covers costs. Remaining fees go to the institution to operate and fund projects like environment and health. The goal is to maximize employment by leveraging available workforce through new ideas.

Method for commercializing inventions developed by universities and other academic institutions that involves breaking the commercialization process into discrete, interacting steps to increase efficiency and success. The steps include: protecting intellectual property, developing a prototype, identifying markets, and expanding the product. It also involves project management tools to organize and track the steps. The method aims to provide a structured, systematic approach to commercialization that addresses the challenges of universities lacking commercialization expertise and funding.

A system to enable fair and just sharing of knowledge, where creators retain ownership and most revenue. It allows users to deposit, market, distribute, and broadcast their knowledge in a self-governing, democratically organized system that values and shares all types of knowledge. The system provides a secure, efficient marketplace for knowledge exchange that incentivizes sharing and amplifies the benefits of knowledge creation for all. It addresses issues like hoarding, exploitation, and isolation by recognizing the value of all knowledge and promoting just sharing.

A knowledge market system to manage and incentivize knowledge sharing within an organization. The system involves creating a central knowledge base with strike values assigned to knowledge assets. Usage of assets increases their earned value. Users have accounts with balances based on adding, using, and reviewing assets. They can use the knowledge base by paying a portion of their balance. This creates an internal market for knowledge where users can earn by sharing and pay to access. The strike/earned value mechanism encourages knowledge capture and sharing.

Collaborative intellectual property management system for companies to pool and share patents. The system involves forming fund companies for specific technical fields, each with members contributing capital. An IP management company assists the funds by collecting, analyzing, categorizing, and selling patents. Funds can buy patents jointly, bid for transfer rights, and license to non-members. This allows efficient patent acquisition, sharing, and monetization among members, reducing costs vs individual patent maintenance. The IP management company provides centralized IP services like search, analysis, negotiation, and licensing.
