Aerospace IP exchange

Abstract

An aerospace commerce exchange system may include a network, a plurality of clients operably coupled to the network, and an aerospace commerce exchange platform operably coupled to the network to provide exchange services to exchange members via respective ones of the clients. The aerospace commerce exchange platform may include an IP asset library configured to store information regarding IP assets provided by the exchange members, and a search module configured to enable searching relative to the IP assets by the exchange members. The search module may be configured to facilitate contact between a searcher and a provider relative to a particular asset stored in the IP asset library and found by the searcher using the search module.

Problems solved by technology

For example, if a company in a particular industry is trying to search for a relevant technology in a generic IP deal, the search tool is often completely ill-suited to the unique context of the relevant technology, limiting the tool's effectiveness

Furthermore, if there are only a limited number of other participants in a particular segment of the group, any other participant in the particular segment of the group is not involved in the transaction at all, it may be that the participant is only encountering opportunities with direct competitors or unrelated entities
