Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional intellectual property rights profiles for media presentations are cumbersome, time-consuming to manage, and inefficient in storage and sharing due to their paper-based format, which complicates the tracking and verification of rights and takes up valuable space.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for generating and displaying intellectual property rights profiles using a graphical user interface (GUI) and database, enabling users to interact with and enter rights information, process it, and store it for easy access and display, including a server module for retrieving and transmitting data to facilitate efficient management and auditing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If paper binders are used to store intellectual property rights information, then physical storage is straightforward, but storage space consumption increases and portability becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage simplicityVSAvoidstorage space consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates digital copies of intellectual property rights documents and stores them in a database system. This allows the information to be stored in a compact electronic format rather than requiring physical paper binders, thereby reducing storage space consumption while maintaining accessibility and portability through electronic retrieval and transfer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Ease of manufacture

If paper binders are used for intellectual property rights profiles, then information can be physically stored, but tracking and verification become time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage simplicityVSAvoidtracking time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual tracking system with an automated database system. The database structure organizes intellectual property rights information by media presentation, and the system can automatically retrieve, track, and verify rights information through electronic queries rather than manual document searching, significantly reducing tracking time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides automated feedback mechanisms for tracking intellectual property rights status. The database can store status information about rights verification and provide automated updates or notifications when rights status changes, eliminating the need for manual tracking and reducing the time required to verify rights completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of manufacture

If paper binders are used for intellectual property rights profiles, then information can be stored locally, but sharing and transferability are difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage simplicityVSAvoidsharing ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates digital copies of intellectual property rights information stored in a centralized database. This allows the information to be shared and transferred electronically between different users and locations without requiring physical transport of paper binders, thereby enhancing sharing ease and transferability while maintaining storage simplicity through efficient database organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

4Ease of manufacture

If paper binders are used for intellectual property rights profiles, then information can be physically accessed, but information sharing between related profiles is difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess simplicityVSAvoidinformation sharing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges related intellectual property rights information from multiple media presentations into a unified database structure. The database can store and retrieve information across related profiles by establishing connections between records, allowing efficient information sharing and cross-referencing between related media presentations without requiring physical coordination of multiple paper binders.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A system, computer readable media, GUI, and apparatus are provided that are configured to generate and display an intellectual property rights profile for a media presentation. Information to be included in an intellectual property rights profile may be entered into a provided data entry template by, for example, a user or administrator of the media presentation. Uploaded documents may be added to an intellectual property rights profile and later accessed by a subsequent user. In some cases, a status, for example, complete or incomplete, may be determined for an intellectual property rights profile and an action may be initiated based on the status.
