A method and system for facilitating the transfer of intellectual property
are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method of facilitating the transfer
of intellectual property includes obtaining at a computer system of a
first entity information concerning intellectual property in which an
interest is available for transfer (the "available intellectual
property") from a second entity. The method further includes transferring
the interest in the available intellectual property by concluding an
agreement between the first and second entities. The agreement is
representative of an acceptance of an offer concerning the transferring
of the interest in the available intellectual property and consideration
for the transferring of the interest. At least a portion of the interest
in the available intellectual property that is transferred to the first
entity is intended to be transferred from the first entity to a third
entity.
