PATENT-PRODUCT INFORMATION DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Systems and methods for managing and distributing patent-product information are presented herein. The systems and method may facilitate the exchange of patent-product information, by performing the steps of: a) receiving patent-product information from a plurality of users; b) storing the patent-product information in a patent-product database on a server, in accordance with an input hierarchy; c) receiving a demand query from a public user, based on an identification marker; d) searching the patent-product database and obtaining patent-product information responsive to the public user's demand query; and e) delivering the obtained patent- product information to the public user. The systems and methods also provide for automatically issuance of an alert to a previously-specified recipient at a previously-specified time before expiration of a patent associated with the patent-product information.
