1. An apparatus, comprising:
a first user communication device, wherein the first user communication device is associated with a first individual;
a second user communication device, wherein the second user communication device is associated with a second individual, wherein the second individual is, or is associated with, an owner of a first intellectual property or a second intellectual property;
a central processing computer, wherein the central processing computer is specially programmed to process information regarding a commercialization of an intellectual property, and further wherein the central processing computer provides or transmits an electronic forum to the first user communication device, and further wherein the central processing computer is specially programmed to process job searching information or project searching information regarding a job or a project related to a commercialization activity or to a monetization activity regarding the first intellectual property, wherein the first intellectual property is a patent, a patent application, a trademark, a copyright, a trade secret, a franchise right, a publicity right, or a media right, and further wherein the central processing computer further comprises:
a database, wherein the database stores information regarding the first intellectual property and an intellectual property profile for the first intellectual property; and
a distributed ledger and blockchain technology system,
wherein the central processing computer processes information for posting, listing, or registering, the first intellectual property, and further wherein the central processing computer generates the intellectual property profile for the first intellectual property, and further wherein the central processing computer stores information regarding the first intellectual property and the intellectual property profile for the first intellectual property in the database, wherein the central processing computer transmits the electronic forum to the first user communication device, wherein the electronic forum facilitates a first job searching activity, a first project searching activity, or a first assignment searching activity, regarding a commercialization activity or a monetization activity regarding the first intellectual property, and further wherein the electronic forum facilitates a submission of a first application for a first job, a first project, or a first assignment, with a first employer or a first hiring entity associated with or regarding the first intellectual property, and further wherein the electronic forum displays information regarding the first application for the first job, the first project, or the first assignment, wherein the information regarding the first application for the first job, the first project, or the first assignment, includes information regarding a date of application, a date of consideration, feedback from the first employer or the first hiring entity, a decision, or a date of a decision,
and further wherein the central processing computer receives a request to perform a searching activity for a second job, a second project, or a second assignment, regarding a commercialization activity or a monetization activity regarding the first intellectual property or regarding a second intellectual property, wherein the request is transmitted from the first user communication device, and further wherein, in response to the request, the central processing computer generates a search report and transmits the search report to the first user communication device, wherein the search report is displayed at the first user communication device via the electronic forum, wherein the search report contains information regarding the second job, the second project, or the second assignment, regarding the first intellectual property or regarding the second intellectual property,
wherein the central processing computer facilitates a submission of a second application for the second job, the second project, or the second assignment, regarding the first intellectual property or regarding the second intellectual property,
wherein the central processing computer facilitates or provides a videoconference call between the first user communication device and the second user communication device, and further wherein the first user communication device, the second user communication device, or the central processing computer, records the videoconference call as a digital recording, and further wherein the apparatus translates an audio conversation between the first individual and the second individual during the videoconference call into a written transcript,
wherein the central processing computer generates an electronic forum report containing information regarding an activity or activities of the first individual in or during the electronic forum,
wherein the central processing computer generates a videoconference call summary message, wherein the videoconference call summary message includes information regarding a date and time of the videoconference call, information regarding the videoconference call, information regarding, or a link or a hyperlink to, the digital recording, and information regarding, or a link or a hyperlink to, the written transcript, and further wherein the apparatus stores the videoconference call summary message in the central processing computer and in the distributed ledger and blockchain technology system, and further wherein the apparatus stores the intellectual property profile in a digital asset records computer,
and further wherein the first user communication device receives a status message transmitted from the second user communication device or from a third user communication device, wherein the third user communication device is associated with the first employer or the first hiring entity or is associated with the second employer or the second hiring entity, wherein the status message contains information indicating that the first application has been received, information indicating that the first application has been reviewed, information indicating that the first application has been referred for further consideration, information regarding a name or position of a person who has reviewed, is reviewing, or will be reviewing, the first application, or information regarding a decision to hire the first individual for the first job, the first project, or the first assignment, or wherein the status message contains information indicating that the second application has been received, information indicating that the second application has been reviewed, information indicating that the second application has been referred for further consideration, information regarding a name or position of a person who has reviewed, is reviewing, or will be reviewing, the second application, or information regarding a decision to hire the first individual for the second job, the second project, or the second assignment,
and further wherein the status message contains a link or a hyperlink to the electronic forum, and further wherein the central processing computer generates a job alert message or a project alert message, wherein the job alert message or the project alert message contains information regarding a third job, a third project, or a third assignment, and further wherein the job alert message or the project alert message contains a link or a hyperlink to the electronic forum,
and further wherein the central processing computer receives and processes information regarding a candidate search performed by the first employer or the first hiring entity, by the second employer or the second hiring entity, or by a third employer or a third hiring entity, wherein information regarding the candidate search is entered via the electronic forum, and further wherein the central processing computer generates a candidate search report, and further wherein the central processing computer transmits the candidate search report to the second user communication device, the third user communication device, or a fourth user communication device, wherein the fourth user communication device is associated with the third employer or the third hiring entity.
