The IP DAO, and the innovation ecosystem it has created, minimizes barriers to enter into the patent marketplace for inventors, patent buyers or licensees, and intellectual property investors alike through the use of a block-chained hyper contract that allows for entities to complete trusted, traceable, and transparent transactions through the exchange of the IP DAO coin. Through the IP DAO platform, new and seasoned inventors are able to access resources within the innovation ecosystem to navigate the often daunting IP landscape and submit patent applications in exchange for giving the IP DAO consortium partial patent ownership. Within the IP DAO platform, innovators can safely interface and collaborate with each other without fear of losing the value of their own ideas as interactions and the contribution of novel ideas is documented in a legally comprehensive ledger. Individuals and entities interested in investing in the IP DAO patent portfolio or those looking to purchase or license patents are able to avoid complicated and costly legal contracts by simply purchasing relevant IP DAO coins corresponding to specific patents or groups of patents in the
