NPE / troll-pattern signals

  1. Shell-entity transfer — not present. The sole recorded assignment is from the inventor to a major non-profit research institution.
  2. Known asserter in the chain — not present. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is not a known patent asserter.
  3. Repeat correspondent across the chain — unclear. The correspondent information was not specified in the single recorded assignment, making it impossible to assess recurrence.
  4. Cascading transfers — not present. Only one assignment is recorded.
  5. Pre-litigation transfer — not present. There is no indication of litigation immediately following the recorded assignment.
  6. Bankruptcy fire-sale — not present. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is an active, operating institution.
  7. Privateering — not present. There is no evidence of an operating company transferring the patent to an NPE for assertion.
  8. Defensive aggregator (anti-NPE) — not present. The patent is held by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, not a defensive aggregator.

Verdict

Insufficient data. Only one assignment is recorded (from the inventor to the original assignee), and there is no information available regarding a correspondent for this transaction. While Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is clearly an operating entity, without further assignment records, it's impossible to determine if the patent has been transferred to a licensing-only entity or a known asserter.
