Patent number: 11962578Abstract: A method includes receiving a first transaction request and a second transaction request including identification of a first trust action and a second trust action requested to be performed with respect to an electronic document. A first trust service provider and a second trust service provider, different from the first trust service provider, are selected to perform the requested first trust action and the second trust action, respectively. Performance of the first trust action and the second trust action on the same electronic document is coordinated with the selected first trust service provider and the second trust action provider. A first proof and a second proof are obtained confirming performance of the requested first trust action and the requested second trust action by the respective trust service providers.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: DocuSign, Inc.Inventors: David Steeves, Gregory J.

Publication number: 20220141211Abstract: A system and method are described in which a document transaction management platform coordinates performance of trust actions across a plurality of trust service providers. For example, a method can include operations executing on a connector module in communication with a digital transaction management platform and a trust service provider, such as the following. Receiving, from the digital transaction management platform, a transaction request including a token and a requested trust action. Accessing user information for a recipient involved in the requested trust action using the token. Obtaining, from the digital transaction management platform, transaction data associated with the requested trust action. Coordinating, with the trust service provider, performance of the trust action on at least a portion of the transaction data. Transmitting, to the digital transaction management platform, a proof received from the trust service provider confirming performance of the trust action.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2022Publication date: May 5, 2022Inventors: David Steeves, Gregory J. Alger, Joshua D. Wise, Jayson C. McCleery, Peleg Atar, Ezer Farhi, Ryan J. Cox

Patent number: 10404679Abstract: A system and method are described in which a document transaction management platform coordinates performance of trust actions across a plurality of trust service providers. For example, a method can include operations such as send a first transaction request, selecting a first trust provider, facilitating performance of a first trust action, sending a second transaction request, selecting a second trust provider, and facilitating performance of a second trust action. Sending the first transaction request can include a first trust action associated with an electronic document. Selecting the first trust provider to execute the first trust action occurs in response to a first user accepting the first transaction request. Performance of the first trust action is facilitated through the first trust provider. Sending the second transaction request can include a second trust action associated with the electronic document.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2016Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: DocuSign, Inc.Inventors: David Steeves, Gregory J.

Patent number: 10291604Abstract: A system and method are described in which a document transaction management platform coordinates performance of trust actions across a plurality of trust service providers. For example, a system including one or more processors, working memory, persistent storage device and a network connect executes instructions to evaluate a policy including multiple rules controlling performance of trust actions. The instructions when executed cause the system to perform operations including processing a first transaction request including a first trust action, evaluating the first transaction request to determine a type of the first trust action, selecting, based on applying the policy against the type of the first trust action, a trust provider rule from the plurality of trust provider rules, and facilitating performance of the first trust action according to the selected trust provider rule.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2016Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: DocuSign, Inc.Inventors: David Steeves, Gregory J.
