連結NFT與專利 - 專利交易的未來

NFT (non-fungible token)，可翻為「非同質化代幣」，參考資料：https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/非同質化代幣。

wikipedia: "非同質化代幣（英語：Non-Fungible Token，簡稱NFT）是一種被稱為區塊鏈數位帳本上的資料單位，每個代幣可以代表一個獨特的數位資料。由於其不能互換，非同質化代幣可以代表數位檔案，如畫作、聲音、影片、遊戲中的...。" (more)

在網路上隨意傳遞的數位內容常常是隨意被複製、傳播與重製，不曉得原始作者或是誰是擁有者，NFT建構在區塊鏈（blockchain）的基礎上，原始的宗旨是提供數位內容認證的機制，數位內容可以是音樂、影片與文字內容，包括網路上寫的一篇文章、一段話，都可以成為NFT認證標的，並可以買賣，特別是通過NFT支援的數位貨幣。

OpenSea是個基於NFT的交易平台：https://opensea.io/

這大概是元宇宙（metaverse）的拍賣場吧！

球員卡有在賣。

找到一件與周杰倫有關的"數位商品"，特別的是，數位商品有「共同擁有」的可能性，讓多人擁有，當商品販售、授權使用後，這些擁有人可以分潤。

就專利工作者而言，直覺地認為NFT可以成為patent價值化的有力工具，利用區塊鏈的特性連結專利的所有權記載、交易、履歷管理、年費有效性管理等。

NFT與專利。

此篇文章提到一件美國專利US10,025,797，這件專利本身就與區塊鏈分散式帳本有關，涉及加速交易速度的一種儲存技術。

1. A computer based method comprising:

creating at least one electronic parallel storage of a differences layer linked to a distributed computer ledger (DCL); the DCL contains an electronic transaction record by a time-sequenced value or a time-sequenced string;

accessing and storing a value through the at least one electronic parallel storage of the differences layer, the value from a group comprising of at least one time-sequenced electronically published data stream and at least one descriptive differential, wherein at least one differences processing engine running on a specialized computer system creates and stores parameters from a group comprised of a measurement differences and a descriptive differences;

storing the DCL containing an electronic transactions record on at least one of a distributed network of connected independent computers or a decentralized network of computers wherein the electronic transaction record is time sequenced, and a writing or an appending of the electronic transaction records is performed on the distributed network of connected independent computers or the decentralized network of computers;

storing the at least one electronic parallel storage of the differences layer on at least one of a centralized storage device controlled by the specialized computer system or a decentralized storage device controlled by the specialized computer system for increasing functionality and utility of the DCL, reducing data storage requirements, eliminating transmission of redundant data, and improving data security;

linking the electronic transaction record in the DCL to records of the at least one electronic parallel storage of the differences layer utilizing at least one time sequenced value, string, code, or key; and

imputing at least one measured differential with a descriptive identifier or at least one descriptive identifier to the electronic transaction record of the DCL through data storage and processing on the at least one electronic parallel storage of the differences layer.

'797專利就拿在OpenSea上拍賣，起標價在7.5百萬美元！它販售的內容為一張智能合約，自動啟動買方擁有所有專利權的合約。

IPWe與IBM還一起利用區塊鏈建立專利的賣場，把專利權代幣化（tokenized），在區塊鏈的機制內自動完成交易合約，他們相信NFT是專利交易的下一步。

my two cents:

我想，這個話題也會一直延燒，爬文後再來筆記。
