  • Patent number: 9898768
    Abstract: A method and system for identifying and discouraging predatory and uncompetitive sales practices includes identifying at least one base cost for at least one product, determining at least one current cost for the at least one product from at least one retailer displaying or selling products and services through online or mobile channels, and determining if the at least one product sold by the at least one retailer displaying or selling products and services through online or mobile channels is a loss-leader based at least partially on the at least one base cost and the at least one current cost. At least one of the at least one product may be automatically purchased from the at least one retailer displaying or selling products and services through online or mobile channels if the at least one product sold by the at least one retailer is determined to be a loss-leader. A system for implementing the aforementioned method includes appropriately communicatively connected hardware components.

  • Patent number: 9754299
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a system and method for providing three-dimensional and maintaining digital design rights management. The invention comprises a first server computer configured to transmit, to user terminals, images associated with three-dimensional designs. The server receives at least one request, from at least one user terminal, to fabricate one or more three-dimensional objects from three-dimensional designs. A second server computer in communication with the first server computer, and located remotely from the first server computer is controlled by an entity that does not control the at least one first server computer. The second server computer is configured to store design specifications associated with three-dimensional designs and control a fabricating device in communication with the at least one second server computer.

  • Patent number: 9648029
    Abstract: A system and method for active remediation and/or passive protection against cyber attacks includes an active remediation and passive protection server computer for monitoring at least a portion of network data between at least one first network and at least one second network to detect one or more attacks and/or unauthorized access to at least one first agent in the at least one first network by at least one second agent in the at least one second network. The active remediation and passive protection server computer executes at least one of (i) one or more active remediation mechanisms to actively respond to the one or more detected attacks and/or unauthorized access and (ii) one or more passive protection mechanisms to passively protect against the one or more detected attacks and/or unauthorized access.
