  • Publication number: 20190197622
    Abstract: A method includes generating CUSIP unique identifiers that are embedded in each token of a tokenized asset offering that is blockchain-based. Cryptocurrency wallets associated with managing tokens can also each have a unique identifier. As an alternative trading system manages trades of tokens having unique identifiers with buyers and sellers having wallets with associated unique identifiers, a reporting of transaction data can be made to a transfer agent that is registered with the a regulatory agency. Separately recording transaction data from the data recorded on the blockchain can enable the transfer agent to be the arbiter of ownership. Having the transaction data stored by the transfer agent can reduce or eliminate the incentive to hacked security wallets, can enable audits, and can enable regulatory compliance when thresholds, such as a number of shareholders, are met.

  • Publication number: 20190188793
    Abstract: A method includes creating a seller escrow wallet. The seller escrow wallet only displays a content of the wallet, is non-custodial, maintains an ability to return tokens stored within the wallet to an original account via a request, transfers tokens purchased by the seller to the wallet, and utilizes a master wallet to facilitate a transfer of the tokens from the seller wallet to a buyer wallet associated with the buyer. Upon a sale of the tokens, the method includes moving the tokens from the seller wallet to the master wallet using addresses that identify at least one of the seller and the buyer, receiving a payment at the master wallet from the buyer for the tokens and upon receiving the payment at the master wallet, releasing the tokens to the buyer and transferring the payment to the seller.

  • Publication number: 20190080404
    Abstract: A method is provided for generating a unique token associated with a profit participation parameter in an issuing entity for a token holder, the unique token being generated as a security according to a security regulation and being based on a determination of demand by token holders. The method includes implementing a smart contract on a blockchain to manage distributions from the issuing entity to the token holder according to the unique token, wherein the smart contract comprises a set of promises in digital form and comprises defined protocols for managing value distribution from the issuing entity to the token holder, and wherein one of the unique token and the smart contract comprises a timeframe associated with a restriction on selling the unique token, implementing a restriction on a sale of the unique token during the timeframe and enabling the sale of the unique token after the timeframe.

  • Patent number: 7897228
    Abstract: Articles for applying color on a surface that includes a sheet of dry color component having a margin, a front sheet surface, and a rear sheet surface opposite the front sheet surface, and an adhesive on the rear sheet surface for bonding the sheet to the surface. Either the margin of the sheet or the entire sheet is adapted for reducing or eliminating the visual perceptibility of the seam created when the margin is positioned in an overlapping, abutting, or spaced apart relationship with a margin of a juxtaposed second article. The reduction or elimination of the visual perceptibility of the seam may be promoted by a physical mechanism, a chemical mechanism, an optical mechanism, or a combination of these mechanisms.
