Benefits of technology

"The invention is a system and method for gathering and modifying information about an entity, based on open and closed sources. The system can receive additional information from clients and link it with the information about the entity to create a modified dossier. This dossier can be used to create an electronic product or a display representation of the entity in a distribution channel. The technical effect of the invention is to provide a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of entities and their marketplace activity."

Problems solved by technology

Threats to the marketplace are continuously evolving, becoming more complex and more prevalent.
Counterfeiting is a multi-dimensional problem.
If the goods being sold are drugs, for example, an ingested counterfeit drug may result in serious health consequences.
If the drug is diverted and sold through a different distribution channel than originally intended, the drug may end up in a different country, be sold for below or above market price, be sold in a country without conforming to necessary regulations, and the company manufacturing the drug may lose significant profits and / or be charged with misleading the public in its sales.
If the evidence acquired does not have a certain minimum level of veracity, it may not even be admissible in courts of law.
Other prior art systems receive limited data about an entity from a client but do not supplement such data with information available to the public from open sources.
Such prior art systems are also generally static in that they typically represent a snapshot in time of information gathered about an entity from limited sources.
These systems do not evolve to provide an updated view of an entity as more information is acquired about the entity.
Further, there is no means in the prior art systems for intelligent linking of acquired information.

Embodiment Construction

)

[0024]Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a process for acquiring information about an entity in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. An entity may include a person, a business, an endeavor (such as counterfeiting, drug trafficking, diverting etc.), a product, or a service, for which it is desired that information be acquired. At step S2, the process gathers information from open sources. Open sources of information include, for example, information that is available to the public such as through the Internet, license records, business directories, advertisements, corporate records, and corporate filings. As discussed in more detail below, even though the information is available to the public, the collection of particular types of open source information has not heretofore been gathered together in the prior art. At step S4, the process gathers information from closed sources. Such closed sources could include, for example, information that is not available to the publi...

Abstract

A system and method for intelligent information gathering and analysis. Information is gathered from a plurality of open sources such as markets, investigations, government databases, internet intelligence, and public records. The gathered information is parsed and linked based on marketplace activities including threats. The parsed and linked information is sent to a database where queries can be applied to produce dossiers on entities. A client may add his own information to enrich a dossier and reports may be made based on the dossiers. Alerts may be generated when certain predefined conditions are met. These alerts can be used to drive various actions.
