Abstract
A charging system is provided which solicits from third parties information about products supposedly infringing on a right holder's lawful right and which, upon exposure of the infringement, acquires royalty revenues from the trespassing party for a reimbursement to any third party having contributed the information on the infringement, whereby right-related information is collected more efficiently and a market on which such information circulates is actively promoted.
