AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The patent describes a new system that combines traditional financial methods with technology to create a secure and cost-effective way to preserve and access IP. The system allows IP owners to make a financial contribution to the archiving system in exchange for a discrete amount of funds that will be used to maintain the IP in a safe and secure way. The cost of the archiving is based on factors like the size and characteristics of the IP, and the system uses pooling and portfolio management to minimize costs. The IP can be accessed and retrieved through an online portal, and the system ensures that the IP is always accessible and can be maintained for a fixed period of time. The system also allows IP owners to create a personalized access file with links and keywords to the archived IP, and the access file can be shared with others. Overall, the system provides a secure and cost-effective way to preserve and access IP for future generations."

Problems solved by technology

Such a stream would include ongoing operating costs and may also include contingency provisions for the archive.
