1. A system for managing and scoring a pool of intellectual property instruments, said system comprising: an intellectual property instrument input module, implemented on a processor; an intellectual property evaluation module, implemented on a processor; wherein an intellectual property instrument is fed into said intellectual property instrument input module; said intellectual property instrument is fed into said intellectual property evaluation module; said intellectual property evaluation module assesses or filters said intellectual property instrument based on one or more criteria; a point assigner, implemented on a processor; said point assigner assigns point to said intellectual property instrument; a point adder, implemented on a processor; said point adder aggregates total points for a first pool and for a first sub-pool; a main updating module, implemented on a processor; a controller; said main updating module updates charges, benefits, weights, or percentages corresponding to said intellectual property instrument, said first pool, or said first sub-pool; wherein said controller allocates pool distributions based on said weights for said first pool and said first sub-pool; wherein said weights are time-dependent; wherein when said intellectual property instrument corresponds to a licensing or royalty income, then said controller allocates an extra bonus distribution to said intellectual property instrument; a membership database; an updating membership module, implemented on a processor; wherein said updating membership module inputs into said membership database; wherein said updating membership module is triggered to update said membership database, based on said main updating module.
