DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0197] In an embodiment, a method of operating an idea trading platform involves validating first user credentials of a first user received through a first user interface to create an idea generator account. The method receives an idea package comprising a disclosure, idea classification, a declaration of ownership, and at least one list price from the idea generator account, wherein the disclosure comprises an idea title, an idea summary, and an idea specification. The method evaluates the disclosure for novelty, obviousness, and usefulness through operation of a comparator, wherein the comparator compares the idea classification and the disclosure to other intellectual property on patent publication databases, non-patent databases, and idea trading platform databases. The method operates an ingestion engine to extract the idea title, the idea summary, and the idea specification from the disclosure and encoding the idea summary and the idea specification into an encoded package comprising an encoded idea summary and an encoded idea specification for storage in the idea trading platform database. The method generates an idea listing, comprising the at least one list price and the idea title, for display through a listings catalog on a second user interface comprising a plurality of idea listings organized by the idea classifications of the plurality of idea listings through operation of the listings generator. The method notifies a plurality of idea purchaser accounts of the idea listing through operation of a reporter. The method receives funds from an idea purchaser account for the at least one list price and retrieves the encoded package through operation of an arbiter. The method decodes the encoded package and displaying a secure document viewer through the second user interface. The method transfers the funds to the idea generator account through operation of the arbiter and removes the idea listing from the listings catalog.

[0198] In an embodiment, the comparator may be configured to perform a patent search the disclosure. The comparator may be configured to run several patent searching techniques using automation. Patent searching techniques have evolved significantly through automation, leveraging advanced technologies to streamline and enhance the patent search process. One of the key automation methods used in patent searching is the utilization of specialized software tools and databases designed for patent searchers and intellectual property professionals. These tools employ various algorithms and search functionalities to efficiently retrieve relevant patent documents based on specific search criteria.

[0199] One common automation technique is the use of keyword-based searches. Patent search software allows users to input keywords, phrases, or technical terms related to their invention or area of interest. The software then scans vast patent databases, including global patent offices like the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), the European Patent Office (EPO), and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), to identify patents containing the specified keywords.

[0200] Another automation method is the use of classification systems and taxonomies. Patents are classified according to specific categories and subcategories based on their subject matter and technical fields. Automated patent search tools leverage these classification systems, such as the Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) system, International Patent Classification (IPC) system, and United States Patent Classification (USPC) system, to narrow down search results and retrieve patents within specific technology areas or domains.

[0201] Natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning techniques are also increasingly used to automate patent searches. NLP algorithms analyze the text of patent documents to extract key concepts, identify relevant technical terms, and understand the context of patent claims and descriptions. Machine learning algorithms can then be trained on large datasets of patent documents to improve search accuracy, relevance, and efficiency over time.

[0202] Furthermore, citation analysis and patent family searching are automated techniques used to identify related patents and patent applications. Citation analysis involves examining the citations within patent documents to uncover prior art references, related inventions, and patent landscapes. Patent family searching involves identifying and retrieving related patents and applications filed in multiple countries or jurisdictions based on priority claims and family relationships.

[0203] In an embodiment, the method receives the first user credentials, comprising a first user identity, a first user nationality, and a first user account type, wherein the first user account type is selected as an idea generator. The method operates a validator to check the first user credentials against a plurality of stored accounts in a user credentials database, wherein the plurality of stored accounts comprises a plurality of idea generator account and the plurality of idea purchaser accounts. The method generates the idea generator account for the first user based on absence of matching both the first user identity and the first user nationality, in the plurality of idea generator account and the plurality of idea purchaser accounts.

[0204] The verification of a user's identity can be done through various means that such as uploading documents. Different types of documents serve as means for identity verification across various contexts. Government-issued photo identification documents, like passports, national identity cards, driver's licenses, and military IDs, are among the most common. These documents typically display a photograph of the individual, alongside essential details such as name, date of birth, and other identifying information. Birth certificates, official records issued by government authorities, record an individual's birth and are often used, particularly in cases where government-issued photo IDs are unavailable. Social security cards, unique to the United States, feature a nine-digit number assigned to individuals for social security purposes and are used for identity verification and employment eligibility. Additionally, utility bills, bank statements, and employment ID cards serve to verify identity and residency, providing names, addresses, and other pertinent details. Immigration documents, such as green cards, visas, and residence permits, confirm both identity and immigration status. Marriage certificates, student ID cards from educational institutions, voter registration cards, and various other official documents may also be utilized for identity verification, contingent upon the specific requirements of the organization or institution conducting the verification process.

[0205] The method receives second user credentials from the second user comprising a second user identity, a second user nationality, second user organization, and a second user account type, wherein the second user account type is selected as an idea purchaser. The method operates a validator to check the second user credentials against a plurality of stored accounts in a user credentials database, wherein the plurality of stored accounts comprises a plurality of idea generator account and the plurality of idea purchaser accounts. The method generates the idea purchaser account for the second user based on absence of matches for the second user identity and the second user nationality, and absence of restrictions for the second user organization in the plurality of idea generator account and the plurality of idea purchaser accounts.

[0206] The restrictions for the second user organization may be user limits setting restriction to how many users from an organization may sign up for a purchaser account. Other restrictions may include limits to how quickly users from a particular organization sign up. This may be done to prevent hostile actors from attempting to game the system.

[0207] In an embodiment, at least one list price comprises an idea summary list price and an idea specification list price.

[0208] In an embodiment, the idea purchaser account may be presented with an agreement following the purchase of an idea summary and an idea specification. The agreement displayed for the purchase of the idea summary may provide limitations as to the use of the information provided in the summary and bind the idea purchaser account to a non-disclosure agreement, in addition to restrictions based on international agreements. The agreement displayed for the purchase of the idea specification may provide different limitations and conditions for the transfer of the idea specification. These limitations and conditions may be based on the transfer of right for the idea.

[0209] In an embodiment, the method receives the funds from the idea purchaser account for the idea summary list price and retrieving the encoded package through operation of the arbiter. The method decodes the encoded package and extracts the encoded idea summary. The method communicates the encoded idea summary to the secure document viewer on the second user interface. The method operates the secure document viewer to decode and display the idea summary on the second user interface.

[0210] In an embodiment, the method receives the funds from the idea purchaser account for the idea specification list price and retrieving the encoded package through operation of the arbiter. The method decodes the encoded package and extracts the encoded idea summary and the encoded idea specification. The method communicates the encoded idea summary and the encoded idea specification to the secure document viewer on the second user interface. The method operates the secure document viewer to decode and display the idea summary and the idea specification on the second user interface.

[0211] In an embodiment, the encoding of disclosure may be done using an Advanced encryption standard (AES). Different encryption algorithms are utilized for securing document storage and viewing, each offering unique features and levels of security. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is one of the most widely used encryption algorithms for document storage and transmission. AES operates on symmetric-key cryptography, meaning the same key is used for both encryption and decryption. It offers high-speed encryption and supports key lengths of 128, 192, or 256 bits, making it highly secure against brute force attacks. Another commonly used encryption algorithm is Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA), which operates on asymmetric-key cryptography. RSA utilizes public and private key pairs for encryption and decryption, with the public key used for encryption and the private key used for decryption. RSA is particularly useful for securely transmitting encryption keys and establishing secure communication channels. Additionally, Triple DES (3DES) is a symmetric-key encryption algorithm that applies the Data Encryption Standard (DES) cipher three times to increase security. While 3DES offers backward compatibility with legacy systems, it is slower and less secure compared to AES. Furthermore, Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is gaining popularity for its ability to provide strong encryption with shorter key lengths, making it suitable for resource-constrained environments such as mobile devices and IoT devices. ECC is based on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves over finite fields and offers high levels of security with shorter key lengths compared to traditional encryption algorithms.

[0227] In an embodiment, the idea trading platform may be operated to address the following unmet needs: [0228] 1. What should creative people around the globe who come up with new, useful and non-obvious ideas do if they cannot afford to reduce their ideas to practice (develop prototype)? [0229] 2. What should such creative people do if they cannot afford to pay the filing fees for a patent application (application filing, search, examination and post-allowance) in one country let alone several countries (PCT fees include national stage, international stage and fees to foreign offices)? [0230] 3. What should such creative people do if they cannot afford to hire a registered patent attorney/patent agent? [0231] 4. What should such creative people do if they cannot wait to complete the time-consuming and lengthy process of patenting to see if they can finally benefit from their idea knowing that few inventions make it to the marketplace and fewer still are commercially successful? [0232] 5. What should such creative people do if they cannot handle the legal complexity and ups and downs of patenting their ideas and, if their patent is issued, the time-consuming and costly licensing process? [0233] 6. Should such creative people disclose their new, useful and non-obvious ideas for free without any financial reward, or should they remain unsupported and unappreciated? [0234] 7. Should society prevent such creative people's new, useful and non-obvious ideas from coming to fruition for the sake of promoting the scientific and technological progress of the nations and strengthening their economies? [0235] 8. How can businesses have their fingers on the pulse of the global pool of creative minds? [0236] 9. How can businesses stay ahead of their competition? [0237] 10. How can businesses be alerted to new ideas as soon as the ideas become available? [0238] 11. How can businesses buy in-confidence a new, useful and non-obvious idea in their field of business and keep it as a trade secret or apply for a patent? [0239] 12. What should businesses that have difficulty hiring creative employees (particularly research and development) do to benefit from new, useful and non-obvious ideas to kindle their business enterprises? [0240] 13. What should businesses that have difficulty paying for all costs related to obtaining a patent do to be competitive in their business enterprises?

[0241] In response, the idea trading platform may be operated in accordance with a computerized method for trading ideas that allows authenticated idea generators to classify their original new, useful and non-obvious ideas according to the Nice Agreement concerning international classification of goods and services and sell their classified ideas directly and confidentially to idea reviewers and/or buyers.

Features and Benefits of Novel Easy Method:

[0242] Simplicity (for both idea sellers and idea buyers) [0243] Efficiency (direct sale, no patenting, no licensing) [0244] Versatility (availability of ideas on all goods and services) [0245] Low cost (aside from a negligible examination fee, there is no cost to the idea sellers) [0246] Fast result (time to determining if an idea is sellable is less than 6 months) [0247] Contingent service fee (service fee to the independent idea trading center will be paid only if the idea is reviewed for pay and/or it is sold to a buyer) [0248] Mutual benefit (both idea sellers and idea buyers benefit from trading ideas using this method)

[0249] In an embodiment, the present invention is practiced as follows:

Step 1) Signing Declaration

[0250] As a first part of submission of an idea for registration, idea generator must sign a declaration (fillable PDF form) to assure potential idea reviewer(s) or buyer that the followings are true to the best of his/her knowledge: [0251] 1. Authentication of the idea generator: proving he/she is the original generator, owner and seller of the idea (intellectual property), and all rights, title and interests of the idea fully belong to him/her without any deception or false representation. [0252] 2. Originality of the idea: his/her idea is new and useful, all information about his/her idea is true, he/she has not copied the idea from anybody's else idea, invention or patent (published or pending). [0253] 3. Non-obviousness of the idea: his/her idea has not been obvious to others, does not involve one or more obvious differences (for example, substitution of one color for another or changes in size) over the most nearly similar thing already known, his/her idea is sufficiently different from what has been used or described before. [0254] 4. Free and clear status of the idea: he/she has not applied for any patent, trademark or copyright at any intellectual property/patent office, nor he/she has sold, licensed, pledged or assigned his/her idea or substantially the same idea to any third party. [0255] 5. Lack of earlier disclosure of the idea: his/her idea has not described in any printed publication, or in public use, or on sale, or otherwise available to the public (for example speech, statement made on a radio talk show, a YouTube video, or a website or other on-line materials, oral presentation at a scientific meeting, a demonstration at a trade show or a lecture) before its submission for registration, six (6) months after its submission (the sales period) and at no time if the idea is sold. [0256] 6. Lack of omission: he/she has not omitted or hidden any important information from his/her idea.

Step 2) Preparation of the Idea for Submission

[0257] The idea generator should complete a pre-approved fillable PDF or any suitable computerized form (Idea Registration Form) showing the title of the idea, designating class of the idea, writing detailed description and summary description of the idea, and suggesting the selling price for the idea. [0258] 1. Title of the idea: must be truthful reflecting the totality of the idea. [0259] 2. Designated class of the idea before submission:

[0260] Rationale: Each day, creative individuals around the globe come up with countless numbers of ideas which are new, useful and non-obvious. If these ideas are not properly classified, the result will be a chaotic situation where there is not any efficient way to manage these ideas, let alone to benefit the idea seller and idea buyer. Without an easy, reliable, internationally recognized classification system, implementation of the Novel Easy Method will not be possible. In other words, idea trading is not possible without a designated Class for the idea. Classification of ideas according to International Patent Classification (IPC) or according to Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) is complicated and needs knowledge and expertise usually found with the technical employees of patent offices.

[0261] IPC provides a hierarchical system of language independent symbols for the classification of patents and utility models according to the different areas of technology to which they pertain. CPC is the result of a partnership between the EPO and the USPTO in their joint effort to develop a common, internationally compatible classification system for technical documents, in particular patent publications, which will be used by both offices in the patent granting process.

[0262] The CIP and CPC classification systems are not easy or practical to use for an average idea generator in different countries around the globe.

[0263] We need an easy, reliable and internationally recognized classification system for ideas.

[0264] In the current innovation, the idea generator should designate, in the pre-approved fillable PDF form for idea preparation, the Class of goods or services according to the Nice Agreement concerning the international classification of goods and services. For each idea, designation of up to two classes are acceptable (the first designation is mandatory, and the second designation is optional).

[0265] The Nice Agreement is a multilateral treaty, administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), establishes the international classification of goods and services for the purposes of registering trademarks and service marks. The trademark offices of contracting states must indicate, in official documents and publications in connection with each registration, the numbers of the classes of the classification to which the goods or services for which the mark is registered belong. Use of the Nice Classification is mandatory not only for the national registration of marks in countries party to the Nice Agreement, but also for the international registration of marks effected by the African Intellectual Property Organization (OAPI), the African Regional Intellectual Property Organization (ARIPO), the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property (BOIP), the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and the International Bureau of World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). The Nice Classification is also applied in a number of countries not party to the Nice Agreement.

[0266] Classes of Goods and Services according to the Nice Agreement concerning the international classification of goods and services are as follows (goods=products):

Goods:

[0267] Class 1: Chemicals [0268] Class 2: Paints [0269] Class 3: Cosmetics and Cleaning Preparations [0270] Class 4: Lubricants and Fuels [0271] Class 5: Pharmaceuticals Class 6: Metal Goods [0272] Class 7: Machinery Class 8: Hand Tools [0273] Class 9: Electrical and Scientific Apparatus [0274] Class 10: Medical Apparatus [0275] Class 11: Environmental Control Apparatus [0276] Class 12: Vehicles [0277] Class 13: Firearms (ideas will not be accepted) [0278] Class 14: Jewelry [0279] Class 15: Musical Instruments [0280] Class 16: Paper Goods and Printed Matter [0281] Class 17: Rubber Goods [0282] Class 18: Leather Goods [0283] Class 19: Non-Metallic Building Materials [0284] Class 20: Furniture and articles not otherwise classified [0285] Class 21: Housewares and Glass [0286] Class 22: Cordage and Fibers [0287] Class 23: Yarns and Threads [0288] Class 24: Fabrics [0289] Class 25: Clothing [0290] Class 26: Fancy Goods [0291] Class 27: Floorcoverings [0292] Class 28: Toys and Sporting Goods [0293] Class 29: Meats and Processed Foods [0294] Class 30: Staple Foods [0295] Class 31: Natural Agricultural Products [0296] Class 32: Light Beverages [0297] Class 33: Wines and Spirits [0298] Class 34: Smokers Articles (ideas will not be accepted)

Services:

[0299] Class 35: Advertising and Business [0300] Class 36: Insurance and Financial [0301] Class 37: Building Construction and Repair [0302] Class 38: Communications [0303] Class 39: Transportation and Storage [0304] Class 40: Materials Treatment [0305] Class 41: Education and Entertainment [0306] Class 42: Computer and Scientific [0307] Class 43: Hotels and Restaurants [0308] Class 44: Medical, Beauty and Agricultural [0309] Class 45: Personal and Legal

Suggested Selling Price for the Idea:

[0321] The idea generator should suggest a reasonable selling price for his/her idea. This request is made from the available table of idea prices (for example between $1,000 to $10,000). Review of summary description of idea by potential buyers (without any limit in the number of reviewers) will earn seller between twenty percent (20%) to forty percent (40%) of the suggested selling price from each reviewer.

Step 3) Submission of the Idea for Examination, Registration and Posting

[0322] The Idea generator confidentially submits his/her idea in a completed fillable PDF form to an independent idea trading center for examination and, upon acceptance, registration and posting. [0323] 1. Acceptable Ideas: Ideas may be about any new and useful process, act, method, machine, manufacture (articles that are made and all manufactured articles), composition of matter (chemical compositions including mixtures of ingredients as well as new chemical compounds), or any new and useful improvement thereof. [0324] 2. Unacceptable Ideas: [0325] Ideas about the laws of nature and physical phenomena.

Step 4) Examination, Registration and Posting of the Ideas for Sale of Entire Idea and/or Paid Review of Summary Description of the Idea

[0328] Upon receipt of the idea by the independent idea trading center, it is examined to make sure that idea submission/registration form is filled out property and completely, it does not contain misspelling and/or grammatical errors, and the small examination fee is paid.

[0329] The accepted ideas are assigned an Idea Number and securely preserved in three separate files: File 1) Original Submission/Registration Form (archived), File 2) Buy Entire Idea, File 3) Review Summary Description. At this time, registration of the Idea is complete.

[0330] For posting the idea, the following information about the registered Idea will be included in the List of Registered Ideas which is organized according to the Nice Agreement concerning the international classification of goods and services (goods=products): [0331] Designated class of the Idea [0332] Idea number [0333] Title of idea [0334] Price for buying entire idea. [0335] Price for review of summary description of the idea

[0336] In the List of Registered Ideas, the most recently accepted idea will be placed at the top of other ideas in its class.

Step 5) Buying Entire Idea and/or Reviewing Summary Description of the Idea

[0337] Potential buyers visit the list of posted Registered Ideas and choose a summary description of the ideas they want to review, or the entire ideas they want to buy. Upon agreeing to the terms of the trade, buyer can download PDF file of either summary description of the idea or the entire idea. This transaction is considered final with no cancellation, return or refund.

[0338] While all rights, title and interests of the idea are transferred to the buyer of the entire idea, no rights, title or interests of the idea is transferred to the reviewers of summary description.

[0339] However, there is no limit on the number of reviewers for summary description.
