Inventors

  • Takeshi Okazaki (Aon Benfield Inc.)

Original assignee

Aon Benfield Inc. is an insurance and reinsurance brokerage firm. It is part of Aon plc. Aon Benfield Inc. primarily operates in the business of reinsurance intermediary and capital advisor. While Aon Benfield Inc. provides services related to risk management, it is unlikely they "ship a product embodying the claims" in the traditional sense of a physical good, but rather utilize the technology internally for their business operations. The current status of Aon Benfield Inc. is operating, as it is a subsidiary of Aon plc.

NPE / troll-pattern signals

  1. Shell-entity transfer — not present. The transfer is between Aon Benfield Inc. and AON RE, INC., both appear to be operating entities within the larger Aon corporation.
  2. Known asserter in the chain — not present. Neither Aon Benfield Inc. nor AON RE, INC. are identified as known patent asserters.
  3. Repeat correspondent across the chain — unclear. G. Peter Albert of Aon Service Corporation is the correspondent for the only recorded assignment (Reel 006509/0149). Without additional assignment records for this patent or other tracked patents handled by this correspondent, it is unclear if this is a repeat pattern.
  4. Cascading transfers — not present. Only one assignment is recorded since issuance.
  5. Pre-litigation transfer — unclear. While there is litigation associated with the patent family (IPR2025-01357 and a Delaware District Court case), the exact filing dates of the suits relative to the assignment date (2024-08-02) are not precisely provided in the patent text to make a definitive determination.
  6. Bankruptcy fire-sale — not present. The assignor, Aon Benfield Inc., appears to be an active operating company.
  7. Privateering — not present. There is no indication of a transfer to an NPE for assertion on behalf of an operating company.
  8. Defensive aggregator (anti-NPE) — not present. The chain does not terminate at a known defensive aggregator.

Verdict

Insufficient data. Only one assignment is recorded for US 10650285, which is an internal reassignment within the Aon corporate structure (Reel 006509/0149, executed and recorded 2024-08-02). This single transfer does not provide enough evidence to identify any NPE or troll-pattern signals with confidence.
