Patent Overview: US 10062096 B2
Title: System and method for listing items for purchase based on revenue per impressions
Patent number: US 10062096 B2 (application US13/782,415; publication US20140249960A1)
Inventor: Paul Leslie Mello
Assignee: Vegas.com, LLC (original assignee; current assignee listed as Vegas com LLC)
Dates: Priority date 2013-03-01; filed 2013-03-01; published 2014-09-04; granted 2018-08-28; adjusted expiration listed as 2035-09-25. Status listed as Active. Related priority filings listed for AU (2013270532A), CA (2836740A), and CN (201310741293.4A).
Purpose and plain-language scope: The disclosure "relates to a system and method for selling products and services in an on-line environment and providing preferential listing of the products and/or services." Items may be products (tangible goods) or services (events). The described system (FIG. 1, transaction system 100) couples users 102 to a network 104 via internet-capable computing devices 106, for listing items for purchase by users or customers of a web service. Events are categorized by type—accommodation, show, sporting, dining, transportation, and activity—and characterized as perishable or not, depending on whether attendance is bound to a specific date/time. Figures 2–6 depict a method and webpages displaying ranked lists of items (hotel stays, video games, toy products, live shows) in response to a user request or a requested date. The title indicates ranking or preferential listing is based on revenue per impressions; the prior-art keywords include "items," "user," "item," "eligible," and "impressions."
What the excerpt does not establish: The supplied text omits the detailed description, claims, and drawings' contents, so the specific ranking algorithm, claim language, and limitations are not shown. It also does not establish ownership transfers, validity, litigation, or prior art beyond the listed keywords and dates.

PTAB challenges
AIA trial proceedings at the USPTO Patent Trial and Appeal Board — IPR, PGR, and CBM. Petitioners, judge panels, claim-level invalidation outcomes from Final Written Decisions, and Federal Circuit appeals. The single most important defensive datapoint after litigation history.
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.
Prior art
Earlier patents, publications, and products that may anticipate or render the claims unpatentable.
Obviousness
Combinations of prior art that suggest the claimed invention would have been obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
Extensions
Patent term adjustments, term extensions, continuations, divisionals, family members, and expiration dates.
Derivative works
Defensive disclosure: derivative variations of each claim designed to render future incremental improvements obvious or non-novel.
