Patent 11886750

Assignment history

Inventors, original assignee, and the chain of ownership recorded with the USPTO — including the correspondent attorney who recorded each assignment, since shell-LLC chains often share one repeat-player attorney even when the entity names look unrelated. Surfaces NPE / patent-troll patterns: shell-entity transfers, known asserters in the chain, repeat correspondent fingerprints, pre-litigation assignments, and bankruptcy fire-sales.

NPE / troll-pattern signals

  1. Shell-entity transfer - Not present. There are no recorded transfers of this patent.
  2. Known asserter in the chain - Not present. There are no recorded transfers, so no known asserters are in the chain.
  3. Repeat correspondent across the chain - Not present. There are no recorded assignments, thus no correspondent recurrence.
  4. Cascading transfers - Not present. There are no recorded assignments.
  5. Pre-litigation transfer - Not present. There are no recorded transfers, and no litigation involving this patent has been found in CAFC dockets for 2026.
  6. Bankruptcy fire-sale - Not present. There is no information to suggest Fermat International Inc. has filed for bankruptcy. It appears that a company named Fermat International, a provider of risk and performance management software, was acquired by Moody's Corporation in 2008. However, another entity named Fermat International Inc., the assignee of this patent, describes itself as a high-performance computation solution for Big Data Analytics & AI, with hardware that goes beyond Von Neumann architecture. There is also Fermat Capital Management, LLC, an investment management firm founded in 2001, Fermat Software LLC, a software development and hardware design consulting company, and FERMÀT (Fermat Commerce, Inc.), an AI-native commerce platform founded in 2021. It is unclear if the assignee of the patent is related to the Fermat International acquired by Moody's, or any of the other Fermat entities found in the search. Given the patent's filing date of December 6, 2022, and the Moody's acquisition in 2008, it's highly unlikely to be the same entity.
  7. Privateering - Unclear. There is no information in the provided patent text or search results to indicate privateering.
  8. Defensive aggregator (anti-NPE) - Not present. The patent is still held by the original assignee, and there is no indication of transfer to a defensive aggregator.

Verdict

Insufficient data. There are no recorded assignment records for US 11886750 available on the USPTO Assignment Center. This means we cannot determine any transfer patterns or identify potential NPE signals beyond the initial assignment to Fermat International Inc.
