System to determine quality through reselling of items

Abstract

A system for determining a market value of items includes establishment of a sequence of items to be sold or licensed and a sale of income rights to the sale or licensure. A table of income rights corresponding to the sale to consumers is established, and speculators are able to make determinations of the potential for future sales of the items. After sale or licensure to consumers, the transactions to consumers are considered finalized, and speculators receive income based on the transfer.

1 . A system for valuation and financing of items, the system comprising: 
 determining a sales unit of an item to be financed;    establishing financial rights for the sales units, by which transfer of the sales unit is conditional on at least a partial transfer of the financial rights for that sales unit;    segmenting groupings of the financial rights according to a substantially sequential production of the sales units;    selling the financial rights.    
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the sales unit is a copyright license.  
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the financial right accrues to the buyer, so that upon transfer of at least a portion of the sales unit, the buyer of the financial rights becomes entitled to a return from the financial rights.  
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein: 
 the sales unit is a copyright license and the financial rights are rights to royalties from the copyright license;    the rights to royalties accrue to the buyer, so that upon transfer of at least a portion of the copyright license, the buyer of the rights to royalties becomes entitled to a return from the rights to royalties.    
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 determining an initial production run;    determining an incremental production run; and    establishing the financial rights based on the incremental production run.    
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising any two or more of an Input Unit, a Combining Unit, an Input Valuation Unit, and a Reward Unit.  
     
     
         7 . A method for financing of items, the method comprising: 
 determining a sales unit of an item to be financed;    establishing financial rights for the sales units, by which transfer of the sales unit is conditional on at least a partial transfer of the financial rights for that sales unit;    segmenting groupings of the financial rights according to a substantially sequential production of the sales units;    selling the financial rights.    
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the sales unit is a copyright license.  
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the financial right accrues to the buyer, so that upon transfer of at least a portion of the sales unit, the buyer of the financial rights becomes entitled to a return from the financial rights.  
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein: 
 the sales unit is a copyright license and the financial rights are rights to royalties from the copyright license;    the rights to royalties accrue to the buyer, so that upon transfer of at least a portion of the copyright license, the buyer of the rights to royalties becomes entitled to a return from the rights to royalties.    
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising: 
 determining an initial production run;    determining an incremental production run; and    establishing the financial rights based on the incremental production run.    
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising any two or more of an Input Unit, a Combining Unit, an Input Valuation Unit, and a Reward Unit.
