摘要:
A method for generating an index of securities includes selecting index constituents and weighing the selected index constituents by a measure (“an intangible asset measure”) of quality and/or value of the intangible assets of constituent entities. The index constituents can be selected from a set of potential constituents based on an intangible asset measure of each constituent in the set, and the selected index constituents may then be weighted by a desired measure or methodology or weighted equally, or by an intangible asset measure. Another method for generating an index of securities includes combining groups of constituents, which are selected based on an intangible asset measure, to be index constituents and weighing the index constituents by a desired measure or methodology.

Another method for generating an index of securities includes combining groups of constituents, which are selected based on an intangible asset measure, to be index constituents and weighing the index constituents by a desired measure or methodology. The groups of constituents may be stocks of existing indices having assigned weights in the existing indices based on intangible asset measures of the stocks. These assigned weights of the stocks may be used in a calculation of the weights of the index constituents which correspond to these stocks.
摘要:
The present invention is a system and methods by which an investment vehicle can be established that is directed to one or a very limited specific form of content. More specifically, the system and methods of the present invention creates a financial instrument directed to specific content—such as a specific technology or specific artistic or literary work—that may be issued, thereby providing investors with the opportunity to invest in the specific content or aspect of that specific content.
摘要:
A marketplace for trading derivative financial contracts includes a forum that publishes a financial contract and allows the financial contract to be traded by one or more market participants. The financial contracts are based on one or more underlying intangible assets of one or more entities. The price of the contract is derived from a measure of value of the one or more underlying assets of the particular financial contract. The forum may include an exchange for trading financial contracts and may also host trading of over-the-counter financial contracts.

摘要:
A system and methods providing an exchange network for valuing and trading of intangible instruments, such as one or more rights to an intangible property including a given intellectual property (patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade dress, trade secrets and/or the rights of publicity). The system and methods permits a party to access a database of the intangible instruments including data relating to identifying value of the instrument. The system and methods permits a party to perform due diligence on the intangible instrument and, as a result, to formulate a bidding strategy for the intangible instrument that the bidder believes is appropriate. If the bidder and the owner reach agreement on the price, a transaction for the intangible instrument is executed between the parties.
摘要:
A system and method for storing context data in a network device that is in the data path between a user computer and a server, thereby allowing for the secure and ongoing storage of user computer-specific context data without adding unnecessary complexity to existing web server methods, while at the same time supporting redundancy and facilitating effective load-balancing. By storing user computer-specific context data in the data path between the user computer and the server, the invention reduces the complexity of the web server, improves the handling of server failure, and increases the overall scalability of the system.
