Patent number: 12072942Abstract: A centralized document system receives a request to merge a first document package associated with a first party and a second document package associated with a second party. The first document package includes a first set of documents and the second document package includes a second set of documents. In response to the request, the centralized document system identifies a first subset of documents included in both the first and second sets of documents and identifies a second subset of documents with conflicts between the first and second sets of documents. The centralized document system rectifies the second subset of documents to cure the conflicts between the first and second sets of documents. The centralized document system generates a merged document package including the first subset of documents and the rectified second subset of documents for execution by the first and second parties.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2023Date of Patent: August 27, 2024Assignee: DocuSign, Inc.Inventors: Andrew James Ashlock, Marguerite Bouscaren, Jacob Scott Mitchell, Duane Robert Wald, Christopher Shane Durham, Saul Adams Aguilar

Patent number: 11907324Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for generating and modifying a workflow comprising a series of webpages based on an online document. A document management system accesses an online document selected by a user and classifies each field of the online document into one of a set of categories. For each category, the system generates a form webpage comprising questions corresponding to each field classified as the category and combines the generated webpages to create a workflow. The system may modify the workflow by generating and adding one or more additional form webpages based on one or more answers provided by an entity completing the webform page. In response to the entity completing the modified generated workflow, the system generates a completed document based on the online document and the answers provided by the entity.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: DocuSign, Inc.Inventors: Gustavo Both Bitdinger, Mangesh Prabhakar Bhandarkar, Nipun Dureja, Vasudevan Sampath, Robert Sherwin, Duane Robert Wald, Mark Spencer Seabourne, Claire Marie Small, David Minoru Hirotsu, Dia A.

Publication number: 20230418884Abstract: A document management system can include an artificial intelligence-based document manager that can perform one or more predictive operations based on characteristics of a user, a document, a user account, or historical document activity. For instance, the document management system can apply a machine-learning model to determine how long an expiring agreement document is likely to take to renegotiate and can prompt a user to begin the renegotiation process in advance. The document management system can detect a change to language in a particular clause type and can prompt a user to update other documents that include the clause type to include the change. The document management system can determine a type of a document being worked on and can identify one or more actions that a corresponding user may want to take using a machine-learning model trained on similar documents and similar users.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Christina Silva Hamlin, Eric M. Zenz, Jacob Scott Mitchell, William Gerard Wetherell, Sedine Jei San Agustin, Aylin Selcukoglu, Megan Elizabeth Schwarz, David Minoru Hirotsu, Dia A. Abulzahab, Mangesh Prabhakar Bhandarkar, Isaac John Steiner, Saul Adams Aguilar, Michael Wayne Fountain

Publication number: 20220245592Abstract: A centralized document system generates a document package in response to a request by an originating entity. The document package includes at least one document for execution. To facilitate the execution of the at least one document, the centralized document system can provide one or more means to modify the document package. The centralized document system may provide the document package to a receiving entity and receive a request to modify the document package from the receiving entity. The centralized document system may scan the document package prior to sending to a receiving entity and automatically modify the document package according to the scan. The centralized document system may provide the document package to a receiving entity and determine the receiving entity is unavailable. As such, the centralized document system may determine a substitute receiving entity and provide the document package to the substitute entity for execution.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2021Publication date: August 4, 2022Inventors: Andrew James Ashlock, Marguerite Bouscaren, Jacob Scott Mitchell, Saul Adams Aguilar, Duane Robert Wald, Christopher Shane Durham

Publication number: 20210349885Abstract: An electronic document service provides an interoperable network in which entities can come to agreement as peers. Entities can create a network of trusted accounts, enable sharing and collaboration within the network, enforce process settings of shared transactions, and enable customized levels of visibility into transactions for all entities involved. In embodiments, an agent server receives documents from suppliers to be executed within a network of the electronic document service. Each document corresponds to signing requirements and collection requirements. The agent server combines the documents into a single signing package based on the signing requirements associated with each document. The agent server provides the signing package for execution, and receives the executed signing package. The agent server extracts the individual signed documents from the executed signing package.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2020Publication date: November 11, 2021Inventors: DUANE ROBERT WALD, ANDREW JAMES ASHLOCK, JACOB SCOTT MITCHELL, ERIC M.
