Intellectual property task determination method, system, computer device and storage medium

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on September 28, 2023, with application number 202311270976.6 and invention name “Intellectual Property Management Method, System, Computer Equipment and Storage Medium”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present application relates to the field of information processing technology, and specifically to a method, system, computer device, and storage medium for determining intellectual property tasks. Background Art

[0004] For the field of high-tech, intellectual property management is a relatively important part.

[0005] For example, in the field of pharmaceutical R&D, R&D teams must address various intellectual property-related issues at different stages. For example, the initial R&D phase requires extensive experimentation and verification, generating a wealth of research data and innovative results that require protection and management. At the same time, existing patents must be monitored to avoid potential infringement.

[0006] However, existing intellectual property management systems often lack the flexibility to meet the needs of these different stages. They primarily focus on managing existing patents and are unable to fully address the ever-changing intellectual property needs of pharmaceutical R&D, nor can they efficiently track, protect, and manage their innovative achievements.

[0007] At the same time, as China's innovative drug development is just beginning, there's still a lack of widespread understanding of the intellectual property (IP) aspects of innovative drugs. Few people know what IP work should be undertaken and what factors should be considered at each stage of R&D. Therefore, it's necessary to develop a methodology and system for determining IP tasks to provide innovative drug companies with full-process IP management that aligns with the pace of R&D, thereby avoiding IP risks arising from a lack of understanding of IP work.

[0008] To achieve intellectual property management in the high-tech field, this application provides an intellectual property task determination method. By reading or selecting project information, relevant information about a project to be managed can be obtained. The server then calls a list of intellectual property-related task items based on the project information, and then determines the work tasks displayed in the administrator's user interface based on the task item list. The administrator can then select one of the work tasks to process.

[0009] Based on this, it is possible to manage one of the tasks in a certain stage of a project, thereby realizing the system management of the entire life cycle of the intellectual property-related work of the project. Taking the field of drug research and development as an example, the method provided in this application can be implemented as a method and system for determining intellectual property tasks for life and health products. By adopting the method and system for determining intellectual property tasks provided in this application, it is possible to manage the entire life cycle of drug research and development, thereby improving the efficiency of intellectual property management of drug research and development and greatly avoiding the generation of intellectual property risks.

[0010] Summary of the Invention

[0013] R&D progress: R&D progress refers to the specific R&D stage that the R&D is in. The R&D stage is a division of the R&D cycle according to certain milestone events based on the laws of R&D. There are no restrictions, and the R&D stages described in this patent can be subdivided without restriction. Exemplary drug R&D stages can be divided into drug discovery stage, drug development stage and market launch stage. The drug discovery stage can be exemplarily divided into the selection and confirmation stage of drug targets (Target), the screening stage of hit compounds (Hit), the discovery stage of lead compounds (Lead) and the selection of candidate drugs (Candidate); the drug development stage can be exemplarily divided into the preclinical stage and the clinical stage, and the clinical stage can be exemplarily divided into clinical phase I, clinical phase II and clinical phase III.

[0014] IP application stages: The stages of an IP application refer to the different phases of the IP application process, divided according to specific milestones. For example, the stages of a patent application can be divided into: technical briefing preparation, drafting, priority, preliminary examination, substantive examination, reexamination, grant maintenance, and rejection pending reexamination. It should be noted that the stages of an IP application can be divided into different phases based on different practices, and the existence of each phase is not necessarily determined by the application circumstances of each IP. For example, if a patent is granted without undergoing a reexamination process, the reexamination phase does not necessarily exist.

[0015] Intellectual property-related tasks: Intellectual property-related tasks refer to all work related to intellectual property in innovation activities, including but not limited to the application, maintenance and litigation of patents, trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights, competitive intelligence analysis, project research, business development (BD) support, legal support, etc.

[0017] To-do tasks and tasks to be confirmed: To-do tasks include any work content that requires specific execution, including but not limited to uploading, downloading, filling in, etc.; tasks to be confirmed include but not limited to notifications and reminders.

[0018] Process templates: Preset process templates are chronologically arranged for the drug development phases. The first exemplary pre-set process template includes drug discovery, drug development, and drug launch; the second exemplary pre-set process template includes drug discovery, preclinical research, IND filing, Phase I clinical trials, Phase II clinical trials, Phase III clinical trials, drug marketing application (e.g., NDA or BLA), and commercialization.

[0019] Task submodule: A task submodule is a task module composed of one or more drug development phase tasks. For example, each development phase may correspond to a task submodule and a task list; for example, multiple adjacent development phases may correspond to a task submodule.

[0020] Task Item List: A list containing one or more task items.

[0021] Guidance Information: Guidance information is any information and knowledge that is helpful in performing work tasks, including but not limited to definitions, explanations, policy documents, operating instructions, and work tips.

[0022] Work Units: Exemplary work units include intellectual property work units, budget units, document management units, and artificial intelligence (AI) work units. More specifically, they include patent units, trademark units, trade secret units, and law firm management units. More specific exemplary work units include, but are not limited to, patent search units, patent application units, and patent invalidation and litigation units. Work units can be tailored to different national laws. Exemplary examples include, but are not limited to, US patent application units, European patent application units, Japanese patent application units, US trademark application units, European trademark application units, and Japanese trademark application units. These work units can be built into the system or accessed externally (e.g., via an API or hyperlink).

[0058] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0059] The following is a detailed description of the intellectual property task determination method provided in this application. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowcharts of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system, such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and that although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than shown.

[0060] This embodiment provides a method for determining intellectual property rights tasks that can be used on various mobile terminals, such as mobile phones, tablet computers, and desktop computers. The mobile terminal should be a terminal that supports the method. FIG1 is a flow chart of the method for determining intellectual property rights tasks according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG1 , the process includes the following steps:

[0061] Step S101: Read or select project information.

[0062] Illustratively, the project information includes at least one of the following information: enterprise information corresponding to the project, field information to which the project belongs, project code or number corresponding to the project, and R&D progress of the project.

[0063] Project information indicates at least one type of project-related information, such as information about the company that established the project. Furthermore, the project should have associated intellectual property management. For example, for a drug R&D project, project information includes the name of the company conducting the R&D, the specific field of the drug R&D project (e.g., gene therapy), the project code within the company (which can be set by the company's management), and the current R&D progress of the drug R&D project (e.g., the drug is currently in the preclinical stage).

[0064] In some embodiments, project information is manually selected or entered by a manager into a mobile terminal, which is then retrieved by the server. For example, a manager may enter the name of a pharmaceutical R&D project and select the field to which the project belongs on the mobile terminal; the server then retrieves the project information based on the content recorded on the mobile terminal.

[0065] Step S102: Filter, search or call a list of intellectual property-related tasks based on the project information.

[0066] Indicatively, the task list is determined based on the stage of the project and the intellectual property requirements of the project.

[0067] Optionally, the intellectual property rights are in the field of science and technology; more optionally, the intellectual property rights are in the field of life science and health; and most optionally, the intellectual property rights are in the field of pharmaceutical research and development. For example, the task list can be a task list corresponding to a life science and health product.

[0068] In some embodiments, the drug is a chemical drug, a biological drug, a gene therapy drug, or a cell therapy drug. Chemical drugs include small molecule drugs, peptide drugs, and chemical conjugate drugs; biological drugs include but are not limited to protein drugs and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs); gene therapy drugs include but are not limited to DNA drugs and RNA drugs; and cell therapy drugs include but are not limited to T cells, NK cells, TILs, and dendritic cells.

[0069] Optionally, at least one phase of a project corresponds to a task list; alternatively, a project corresponds to one or more task lists, with multiple task lists defined based on the project phase; optionally, if the project is a drug or medical device R&D project, the project phase is the drug or medical device R&D phase; or if the project is an intellectual property application project, the project phase is the intellectual property application phase. This means that for at least one of the multiple phases of a project, a task list can be defined based on the intellectual property requirements of the corresponding phase, and this task list is used to implement the intellectual property management tasks for that phase.

[0070] In some embodiments, the task item list is set by default; alternatively, the task item list is determined based on the project's domain information. For example, when building a project process module for a drug development project, managers can directly use a template pre-set by the server, which contains at least one task item list by default. For another example, different technical fields have different intellectual property management requirements, which results in different corresponding task item lists.

[0071] Optionally, the task list is configured based on at least one of the following information: the project characteristics; the project domain; and the company associated with the project. It should be understood that the task list can be customized based on the project characteristics, domain, and company associated with the project to meet the specific needs of managers at different stages of different projects.

[0072] Step S103: Determine the work tasks displayed in the user interface according to the task item list.

[0073] Illustratively, work tasks include one or more tasks related to intellectual property that are being performed and / or need to be performed; optionally, task items include at least one of: tasks to be done, tasks to be confirmed, tasks that have been done, and tasks that have been confirmed.

[0074] In some embodiments, the first task displayed in the user interface is displayed by default, or the first task is manually selected by the user. For example, when a manager enters a stage in the drug development process, the server retrieves the task list for that stage and displays some or all of the tasks in the user interface. The first task is defaulted to the first task in the task list corresponding to the stage.

[0075] In summary, the intellectual property task determination method provided in this embodiment enables systematic management of project-related intellectual property, meeting the requirements for intellectual property management throughout the project's lifecycle and avoiding intellectual property-related risks. Specifically, the intellectual property task determination method provided in this embodiment provides corresponding intellectual property management tasks for different stages of the project, thereby resolving intellectual property management-related issues arising at different stages.

[0076] 1 and 2 are flowcharts of a method for determining an intellectual property task according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG2 , the process further includes the following steps:

[0077] Step S104: Process the displayed task items.

[0078] Illustratively, the processing includes at least one of executing the processing, canceling the processing, skipping the processing, postponing the processing, confirming the processing, and ignoring the processing.

[0079] In some embodiments, the processing also includes: obtaining guidance information corresponding to the task item; and / or, instructing the formulation of a work plan, personnel allocation or budget; and / or, calling a work unit; and / or, uploading work results; and / or, work quality evaluation; and / or, work results acceptance.

[0080] Optionally, obtaining guidance information corresponding to the task item includes obtaining one or more of the following information: the meaning of the task, the purpose of the task, the template required to complete the task, and the knowledge or ability required to complete the task; optionally, the guidance information is automatically or manually provided after the artificial intelligence recognizes the task item and is displayed in the user interface.

[0081] Optionally, the guidance information also includes operation instructions and / or work prompts for indicating task items. Wherein, task items can also be understood as target tasks waiting to be processed.

[0082] For example, after selecting a task item, the server can retrieve the guidance information corresponding to the task item through artificial intelligence, such as using a natural language machine learning model to automatically analyze the content of the task item and the context of the task item, and then automatically or manually provide guidance information related to the task item and display it in the user interface. For example, the guidance information is used to instruct managers to formulate a work plan for the current stage, as well as the personnel allocation or budget involved in this stage. For another example, the guidance information is used to instruct the call of a work unit, such as calling a patent application unit, a patent search unit, etc. The patent application unit may optionally include a new work task category and work instructions, etc. For another example, the guidance information is used to instruct managers to upload work results, or conduct work quality evaluation, or conduct work results acceptance work.

[0083] After obtaining the guidance information for a task item, the manager can process the task item accordingly based on the guidance information, including at least one of executing, canceling, skipping, postponing, confirming, and ignoring. For example, based on the guidance information for the task item, the manager can execute the task item and formulate a work plan for the current stage.

[0084] In summary, the intellectual property task determination method provided in this embodiment provides a method for managing work tasks. By selecting a task item, the administrator can have the server automatically retrieve the corresponding guidance information, which then displays the corresponding instructions to the administrator, facilitating task item management. The use of artificial intelligence to obtain guidance information is not only more intelligent and automated, but also makes the obtained guidance information more comprehensive and personalized.

[0085] For ease of understanding, this application also provides a schematic interface diagram of the method for determining intellectual property tasks. Taking the field of pharmaceutical research and development as an example, Figure 3 is a schematic interface diagram of the method for determining intellectual property tasks according to an embodiment of this application, and Figure 4 is another schematic interface diagram of the method for determining intellectual property tasks according to an embodiment of this application. The schematic interface diagrams involved in Figures 3 and 4 are user interfaces of a biomedical patent management system, which is used to implement the method for determining intellectual property tasks provided in this application.

[0086] Referring to FIG3 , the process for an administrator to operate on the management system so that a work task is displayed on the user interface is as follows:

[0087] After entering the home page interface 310 of the management system, the user triggers the R&D process control 311; the server responds to the trigger operation, calls the management interface 320 corresponding to the R&D process control 311, and switches the home page interface 310 of the management system to the management interface 320.

[0088] Schematically, a plurality of selection controls 321 are displayed in the management interface 320. A user can select or manually input information in the plurality of selection controls 321, so that the server can display candidate project development processes based on the information in the selection controls 321. The information in the selection controls 321 can be understood as the project information mentioned above.

[0089] Subsequently, the user triggers the management control 322. In response to the triggering operation, the server queries the relevant information of the R&D project corresponding to the management control 322, and calls the user interface 330 corresponding to the R&D project, and switches the management interface 320 to the user interface 330.

[0090] User interface 330 displays work tasks 331 and optionally a project R&D progress flowchart 332. Referring to Figure 3 , the first work task displayed in user interface 330 is the first work task of the first phase (i.e., the "R&D" phase). In some embodiments, user interface 330 also displays relevant information such as the project process name, status, and the technical field to which the project belongs.

[0091] In some embodiments, managers need to switch to the required stage to manage intellectual property rights. Referring to Figure 4, the user interface 330 displays all or part of the work tasks in the task item list corresponding to the first stage (as shown on the right side of the figure). When the R&D progress flowchart of the project is displayed in the user interface 330, the user triggers the target progress control 01. In response to the trigger operation, the server retrieves the task item list of the target R&D progress corresponding to the target progress control 01, and switches all or part of the work tasks in the task item list corresponding to the first stage to all or part of the work tasks in the task item list corresponding to the target R&D progress.

[0092] Subsequently, the user can trigger the task management control 02 of the target task to be processed as needed to implement intellectual property management of the target task. Referring to Figure 4, the user triggers the schedule control in the task management control 02 to establish a schedule for reviewing the work plan of the patent prospect with the project team leader.

[0093] 3 and 4 , taking the field of pharmaceutical research and development as an example, the patent management system provided in this embodiment may include the following parts:

[0094] a) one or more R&D process modules arranged in phase order (displayed in the user interface 330 via the target progress control 01);

[0095] b) According to the R&D process module, the sub-module includes tasks required for intellectual property rights;

[0096] c) The task submodule optionally includes one or more task item lists;

[0097] d) The task item list may optionally include task-related templates, information, timetables, and budgets.

[0098] Illustratively, in the above-mentioned patent management system, a general R&D process template, a general task submodule template, and a general template for a list of several task items are also provided. In some embodiments, in addition to the general template, a variety of templates can be preset in advance according to the R&D field, R&D enterprise, and R&D project. For example, an enterprise-level R&D process template, an enterprise-level task submodule, and a list of several task items at the enterprise level generated according to a certain enterprise; another example, a project R&D process template, a project task submodule, and a list of several task items at the project level generated according to a specific project. Among them, the project R&D process template, the task submodule, and the task item list can come from the enterprise R&D process template, the task submodule, the task item list, and the enterprise can be determined according to the field to which the project belongs, and the field to which the project belongs is divided according to the general field.

[0099] In some embodiments, the task submodule and task item list can be determined according to the stage of the project, and the server can send a work reminder through the patent management system. Subsequently, after the server confirms that the work task is completed, the sending of the work reminder is cancelled.

[0100] Optionally, the R&D process template includes but is not limited to the following stages: R&D project establishment, drug discovery, preclinical research, IND application, Phase I clinical trial, Phase II clinical trial, Phase III clinical trial, drug marketing application (such as NDA or BLA), and commercialization.

FIG5 is a flow chart of another method for determining intellectual property rights tasks according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG5 , the process also includes the following steps:

[0117] Step S201: Calling a preset process template according to the domain information of the project.

[0118] Schematically, the preset process templates are set according to the phases of the project.

[0119] As described above, the server can pre-set multiple templates for managers to build corresponding R&D process templates based on different projects. Specifically, the multiple templates pre-set by the server are set according to the phases of the project. That is, the pre-set process template contains multiple phases, and the multiple phases are set according to the R&D progress to facilitate the management of the entire project life cycle.

[0120] In some embodiments, the administrator determines the technical field to which the project belongs, and enters the information into a mobile terminal or selects it on the mobile terminal. Subsequently, the server obtains the project's field information from the information on the mobile terminal and calls a preset process template based on the field information. The preset process template should be a template associated with the technical field to which the project belongs.

[0121] Step S202: Obtain at least one task submodule corresponding to a preset process template.

[0122] Schematically, a task submodule corresponds to a task item list.

[0123] After calling the preset process template, at least one task sub-module included in the preset process template can be obtained. One task sub-module corresponds to a stage of the project, and one task sub-module corresponds to a task item list, which is used to indicate the intellectual property work that needs to be processed in the R&D process corresponding to the task sub-module.

[0124] Step S203 : determining the task submodules that need to be managed and the task item lists corresponding to the task submodules that need to be managed according to the R&D progress of the project.

[0125] After obtaining at least one task submodule corresponding to a preset process template, the server displays it on the administrator's user interface. The administrator then enters the project's current R&D progress. Based on this information, the server determines the task submodule the administrator needs to manage and displays a list of tasks corresponding to that submodule. Based on this information, the administrator can adjust the list of tasks corresponding to that submodule to better meet the project's current R&D progress, thereby improving project management efficiency.

[0126] In some embodiments, step S203 may be implemented as follows:

[0127] Determine the task submodules that need to be managed based on the project's R&D progress;

[0128] Revising the task item list corresponding to the task submodule that needs to be managed, wherein the revision process includes at least one of deleting a task item, adding a task item, and modifying the content of a task item;

[0129] Based on the revision results, update the task item list corresponding to the task sub-module that needs to be managed.

[0130] Optionally, after selecting a task submodule to adjust, the manager can delete, add, or modify the corresponding task in the task list. For example, the manager can modify the specific content of a task based on the project's characteristics to better suit the project.

[0131] In response to the manager's revision operation, the server can perform corresponding revision processing on the task item list based on the revision operation; then, the task item list is updated based on the revision result brought about by the revision processing. The revision result can be one of deleting a work task, adding a work task, and modifying a work task. This application does not limit this.

[0132] In summary, the intellectual property task determination method provided in this application can meet the specific needs of different projects, allowing managers to customize project R&D processes to meet their specific needs, thereby achieving specific intellectual property management for that project. For example, different project process modules can be constructed for different companies, different countries or regions, and different projects, thus transcending the restrictions on intellectual property management imposed by the individual, region, and content of the execution.

[0133] With reference to the above, the intellectual property task determination method provided in this application may include two parts: the construction of a project process module and the processing of work tasks in the task list. Taking a biopharmaceutical patent management system provided on a mobile terminal as an example, the above two parts are specifically as follows:

[0134] (1) Construction of project process module.

[0135] Step 1: The manager selects the technical field to which the drug to be developed belongs. The server calls the general process template corresponding to the selected field (including at least one task submodule and a task item list corresponding to the task submodule. The task submodules are pre-modularized, and the content of the task item list in each task submodule is set by default) and displays it in the user interface of the management system;

[0136] Step 2: The manager selects a progress stage based on the specific circumstances of drug development. The server then determines the task submodules that the manager needs to process (if a task submodule before this stage still needs to be processed, the manager can adjust it to after the current stage).

[0137] Step 3: The administrator adjusts the task item list under the task submodule according to actual needs (deleting tasks, adding tasks, adjusting the order of tasks, etc.). The server obtains the adjusted task item list and displays the adjusted task item list in the user interface.

[0138] Based on this, a dedicated project process module will be constructed according to the specific R&D drug. The one or more task sub-modules included in the project process module will be determined according to the specific R&D timeline of the R&D drug. Each task sub-module corresponds to a task item list, which includes the intellectual property management work that needs to be handled in the stage corresponding to the task sub-module.

[0139] (2) Processing of work tasks in the task item list.

[0140] Step 1. The manager or user enters the project progress stage (which can be understood as the R&D stage corresponding to the task submodule) in the patent management system;

[0141] Step 2: The server calls the task item list corresponding to the project progress stage from the local storage / third-party database (i.e., calls the task item list corresponding to the task submodule);

[0142] Step 3: Display the task list and determine whether each task is completed. If completed, mark the corresponding task as "completed / task node passed" (displayed in an untriggerable manner on the user interface of the patent management system, such as the task management control is grayed out); otherwise, mark it as "uncompleted" (displayed in a triggerable manner on the user interface of the patent management system, such as the task management control is a clickable control);

[0143] Step 4. The manager selects an unfinished task and performs one of the following management operations on the task: ignore, skip, postpone, execute, confirm, or cancel. The server performs corresponding processing based on the manager's selection. The user can obtain guidance information corresponding to the task item, including understanding the meaning of the task, the purpose of the task, the template required to complete the task, and the knowledge or ability required to complete the task. This information can be provided by artificial intelligence. For example, a natural language machine learning model can be used to automatically analyze the content of the task item and the context of the task item, and then automatically or manually provide guidance information related to the task item. For example, when the mouse hovers over the task, guidance information for the task is automatically provided. Guidance information includes keyword definitions, the meaning of the task, the purpose of the task, the template required to complete the task, and work instructions.
