Price Setter’s Patents


 

TRANSACTION ARBITER SYSTEM AND METHOD

Price Setter’s patented Transaction Arbiter is a system that permits merchants and service providers to interact in an automated way with prices of products or services from competitors. Rather than utilizing fixed price schedules, the transaction arbiter utilizes a set of limiting parameters which describe how the merchant will respond to a request-for-bid for a given product or service. These merchant/provider limiting parameters interact with both a request-for-bid and the results of other merchant/provider bids to generate a dynamic real-time mechanism that prompts competition among participating merchants/providers and achieves an optimal price for a given product or service.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT PATENTS

Price Setter’s founders do not believe that enforcing patents is the way to go, instead founders believe that it is more productive to license their patents to those who need it and receive in return their cooperation to form an alliance where licensed participants will be protected from non-practicing patent assertion entities, from patent holders with patents subsequent to Price setter’s patents or from being sued by inducing others to infringe or contribute to infringe

 

What is a Patent? “A patent is a government authority or license conferring a right or title for a set period, especially the sole right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention

Contributory Infringement: “Whoever offers to sell or sells within the United States or imports into the United States a component of a patented machine, manufacture, combination or composition, or a material or apparatus for use in practicing a patented process, constituting a material part of the invention, knowing the same to be especially made or especially adapted for use in an infringement of such patent, and not a staple article or commodity of commerce suitable for substantial noninfringing use, shall be liable as a contributory infringer.”       

What is Willful Infringement: “Willful infringement exits when a person demonstrates complete disregard for someone else’s patent. Willful infringement is especially damaging to defendants in a civil suit. The penalties are much higher, and typically defendants must pay all attorney and court costs if they are found guilty.”       

What is direct infringement of a patent? “Making, using, selling, trying to sell, or importing something without obtaining a license from the patent holder is considered direct patent infringement. The offender must complete this act willfully and within the united states.”

What is Indirect infringement of a patent? “Indirect infringement includes induced infringement and contributory infringement to infringe a patent. Under these terms, even if a company isn’t the one originally infringed on the patent, that company can still be held accountable for patent infringement.”

Induced Infringement: “This occurs when a person or company aids in patent infringement by providing components or helping to make a patented product. It occurs through offering instructions, preparing instructions, or licensing plans or processes.”                                

Doctrine of equivalents: “Even if the device or method doesn’t exactly infringe a patent, a judge might find in favor of the patent holder. If the device does basically the same thing and produces the same results, it could be an infringement.”
