  • Patent number: 11238552
    Abstract: A system for automating preparation of IP applications has a server, a priority computer associated with a priority professional and a priority jurisdiction, and a second computer associated with a second professional and a second jurisdiction. A data store has portions associated with each professional, and which are only accessible by the respective professional after authentication. The priority professional sends application data for an IP application to the server for storage in the data store. The priority professional sends an instruction to initiate filing of the IP application in the second jurisdiction. A replicator on the server copies the application data to the portion of the data store associated with the second professional. A document assembler on the server assembles filing documents for the second jurisdiction by combining the application data with at least one form. The server sends the filing documents to the second professional for review and filing.

  • Patent number: 9154958
    Abstract: Security system for cloud computing that will improve the security of users' authentications to cloud data and resources. User authentication to cloud resources requires analyzing confidence in the hardware used to transmit the authentication for access to the cloud data and/or resource. User authentication can be transmitted after the user confirms administrative rights and/or physical security control over the hardware used to transmit the authentication for access to the cloud data and/or resource. The hardware used to access the cloud data and/or resource can be analyzed for malicious code before the user authentication is transmitted. The authentication can be provided on a hardware token, and the system can execute on the hardware token to analyze hardware confidence and thereafter transmit the user authentication.
