  • Method for carrying out transactions of goods using electronic title
    Patent number: 5285383
    Abstract: A commodity trading system having a centralized computer and data base. Each commodity, such as a bale of cotton, or a block of bales, is represented in the data base as a file having all the information unique to such bale, including a title flag. The title flag field of bale record and block record indicates whether the title to the cotton bale, or block of bales, is carried by way of a card-type warehouse receipt, or electronically. The electronic representation of title eliminates the transferral of documentary type title which is traditionally mailed to various locations to follow the trading transactions.
