A MARKETPLACE FOR TRADING INTANGIBLE ASSET DERIVATIVES AND A METHOD FOR TRADING INTANGIBLE ASSET DERIVATIVES

摘要

A marketplace for trading derivative financial contracts includes a forum that publishes a financial contract and allows the financial contract to be traded by one or more market participants. The financial contracts are based on one or more underlying intangible assets of one or more entities. The price of the contract is derived from a measure of value of the one or more underlying assets of the particular financial contract. The forum may include an exchange for trading financial contracts and may also host trading of over-the-counter financial contracts.
