Patent number: 11301858Abstract: Provided herein are techniques for rescuing a commercial transaction identified as suspect, possibly based on suspicion of fraud or due to the risk associated with the commercial transaction. Various implementations include systems and methods that can rescue a purchase transaction involving a purchasing party (hereafter, a “purchaser”) and a selling party (hereafter, a merchant”). The item or items being purchased in the purchase transaction can include goods, a services, or property interests (e.g., real, intellectual, or otherwise).

Publication number: 20140101050Abstract: A technique for improving collaboration between relevant parties in a commercial transaction involves sending a timely alert including descriptors useful for reducing the number of do-not-recognize (DNR) transactions. A system constructed in accordance with techniques described in this paper can integrate multiple stakeholders and service providers. The system can facilitate alerting stakeholders of a presumably fraudulent transaction and/or enabling stakeholders to alert other stakeholders, while reducing DNR resource costs.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2013Publication date: April 10, 2014Applicant: Ethoca Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Trevor Clarke, Warren de Villiers, Andre Edelbrock, Steve Frook, Darryl Green, Keegan Johnson
