• The most important thing in international IP business is to receive an incoming and to give an outgoing.
• IOU combines incoming applications and outgoing applications systematically and reasonably.

Definition of IOU

• IOU stands for Incoming & Outgoing Union.

Main Goal

• To conduct the brokerage service for all IP-Exchanges from the major 63 countries in real-time

Features

1. IOU provides members with statistical analysis data about each firm.
2. IOU serves members with a unique process: Receive an incoming application first.
3. To protect IOU's business top secret, the Number of ‘Request for IP-Exchange' is represented as the sum of NP and NU. NP means numbers of requests generated by the program irregularly. NU means the actual numbers of requests by the user.

[Hot Issues]

• The small-sized IP firms occupy more than 70% out of all IP firms in the world.
• IOU supports small IP firms (even though they can not handle incomings) in each country to utilize their outgoings for new profit through the ‘Profit-Sharing IP-Exchange’.

Data maintenance

• Data maintenance of IOU website proceeds into 3 stages divided. (The last 10 years, PCT Publication Source): [(US, CN, JP, KR) ⇨ Major 63 countries ⇨ PCT whole countries]

Members Ad

• IOU encourages members to advertize their home pages on the IOU Website.

Public Benefits Win-Win Growth

• IOU seeks individual and public benefits. IOU also seeks that members develop their business by the win-win spirit.
