COMPUTER METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING PROPRIETARY RIGHTS TRANSACTIONS

1 . A computer method for secure transfer of a proprietary rights asset blockchain token representing an interest in a proprietary rights asset, comprising:

displaying at least summary information corresponding to a proprietary rights asset to a user on a physical electronic display according to a display list defining at least a portion of a user interface;

receiving, from the user via the user interface, an order to exchange a first quantity of cryptographic currency held by the user at a user wallet memory address for a second quantity of asset tokens, each representing at least a fractional interest in the proprietary rights asset;

writing data corresponding to a pending transfer of the second quantity of asset tokens to the user wallet address; and

receiving data corresponding to the first quantity of cryptographic currency into a transaction wallet memory address.

2 . The computer method of claim 1 , wherein displaying at least summary information comprises:

displaying a field for the user to enter the first quantity of cryptographic currency;

further comprising:

receiving user input of the first quantity of cryptographic currency; and

calculating the second quantity of proprietary rights asset tokens based on an exchange rate; and

wherein displaying the at least summary information further comprises displaying the second quantity of proprietary rights asset tokens.

3 . The computer method of claim 2 , further comprising:

calculating the exchange rate based on relative supply and demand of the cryptographic currency and the proprietary rights asset tokens.

4 . The computer method of claim 2 , further comprising:

calculating the exchange rate based on a supply and demand of the cryptographic currency and a specified price of the proprietary asset tokens.

5 . The computer method of claim 1 , wherein displaying at least summary information comprises:

displaying a field for the user to enter the second quantity of asset tokens;

receiving user input of the second quantity;

calculating the first quantity of cryptographic currency based on an exchange rate; and

displaying the first quantity of cryptographic currency.

6 . The computer method of claim 1 , wherein displaying at least summary information comprises:

displaying a field for the user to enter a committed bid price of the asset tokens;

wherein receiving the order to exchange the first quantity of cryptographic currency for the second quantity of asset tokens includes receiving the committed bid price; and

wherein the smart contract includes the commitment to sell at least a portion of the asset tokens at the committed bid price.

7 . The computer method of claim 1 , wherein displaying at least summary information comprises displaying a committed selling price; and

wherein the smart contract includes the commitment to sell at least a portion of the asset tokens at the committed selling price.

8 . The computer method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a random or pseudorandom deep web address for an instance of the transaction wallet;

allocating computer memory corresponding to the transaction wallet having the random or pseudorandom deep web address;

loading, from a secret address, the second quantity of asset tokens into the transaction wallet; and

transmitting the random or pseudorandom deep web address to the user interface.

9 . The computer method of claim 8 , further comprising:

transferring the first quantity of cryptographic currency from the user wallet to the random or pseudorandom deep web address.

10 . The computer method of claim 8 , further comprising:

transferring the cryptographic currency from the transaction wallet to a secret wallet; and

deallocating the computer memory at the random or pseudorandom deep web network address.

11 . The computer method of claim 1 , wherein the cryptographic currency comprise value carried by a public blockchain.

12 . The computer method of claim 11 , wherein the cryptographic currency comprise at least one transaction history verifiable by the public blockchain.

13 . The computer method of claim 11 , wherein the cryptographic currency comprise fungible value.

14 . The computer method of claim 1 , wherein the cryptographic currency comprise at least one transaction history carried by a permissioned blockchain.

15 . The computer method of claim 1 , further comprising:

fulfilling a smart contract to validate the asset tokens.

16 . The computer method of claim 1 , wherein at least a fractional interest in the proprietary rights asset comprises at least fractional ownership of the proprietary rights asset.

17 . The computer method of claim 1 , wherein at least a fractional interest in the proprietary rights asset comprises at least fractional rights to a revenue stream from the proprietary rights asset.

18 - 25 . (canceled)

26 . A computer method for obtaining a license to a proprietary right, comprising:

disclosing identity and related information via a graphical user interface (GUI) on an electronic device networked to a server computer;

obtaining a specified number of blockchain proprietary rights asset tokens, each token representing a fractional interest in a proprietary right, by swapping a cryptographic currency value for the proprietary rights asset tokens via the GUI;

disclosing an intent to take a license via the GUI;

entering, via the GUI, an agreement to license terms; and

swapping, via the GUI, the specified number of proprietary rights asset tokens for one or more license tokens;

wherein the license token carries a contract granting a right to engage in an activity that infringes the proprietary right.

27 . The computer method for obtaining a license to a proprietary right of claim 26 , further comprising:

establishing a user account with an intellectual property exchange, using the GUI.

28 . The computer method for obtaining a license to a proprietary right of claim 26 , wherein swapping the proprietary rights asset tokens for one or more license tokens causes the license tokens to be burned.

29 . The computer method for obtaining a license to a proprietary right of claim 26 , wherein swapping the proprietary rights asset tokens for one or more license tokens causes the license tokens to be recycled into a pool available for purchase.
