Interest Rate Swap Calculation Method Patent Available From ICAP Patent Brokerage
New York (PRWEB) August 27, 2014 -- ICAP Patent Brokerage announces for license a patent disclosing a method for interest rate swap (IRS) index calculation from Pipeline Capital, LLC. This IP package is available as part of the Live Financial Auction Series with a bidding deadline of October 23, 2014.
“This IRS index method is already in use by the FTSE. It is a valuable portfolio for exchanges, clearing houses, banks offering derivative products, financial instrument developers, and hedge funds,” says Dean Becker, CEO of ICAP Patent Brokerage.
Key Characteristics & Benefits
The IP assets available in this portfolio disclose methods for interest rate swap (IRS) index calculation. These patented methods are currently utilised for IRS indexation by the FTSE. The indices are set up to replicate the performance of the IRS for the major currencies for all major tenors (2-30 years) and duration matches trading strategies (curve spreads and butterflies).
The IP reduces the risk to the underlying financial instrument when compared to other products in the market. By creating a minimum basis risk, it replicates the value of the underlying instrument as a derivative, and can therefore be traded in the same way, and for the same reasons, as the underlying instrument. This methodology can also suit other financial instruments such as metals derivatives.
“While many U.S. patents claiming methods in the financial products/services area have been placed under a cloud in light of a Supreme Court decision published in June 2014 (Alice Corporation Pty. Ltd. v. CLS Bank International et al., 573 U.S. ___ (2014)), it should be noted that the USPTO raised no issue regarding section 101 patentable subject matter. Given the timing of the recent office action regarding this patent application, i.e., during a period of heightened scrutiny of section 101 in the USPTO, this is strong evidence that no legitimate question exists as to the patentability of the allowed claims under section 101,” says Michael P. Kenney, Esq., legal counsel for Pipeline.
