As its own security risks of existing patent trading platform, on-line patent transaction can not be realized. The security problems are mainly embodied in the confidentiality of transaction information, and security of patent delivery areas. One of the important characteristics of zero-knowledge proof is zero-knowledge, which can enable the verifier to believe that the conclusion is correct without knowing the contents of it. This characteristic can solve the problems of current patent transaction security mentioned above. Based on zero-knowledge proof, through the framework and flow design, this paper builds a secure patent trading platform, which shows a new way of patent trading. What is more, the security and convenience of this trading platform are better than ever before.
