<p>In an on-line financial screening service, a database (174, 176, 178 AND 180) of financial and intellectual property information is searched to find at least one financial security matching user defined financial search criteria. Selection preferences for a financial security are defined as search criteria. The financial search criteria includes but not limited to the following: Stock Price, Price/Earning Ratio, Current Ratio, Debt/Equity Ratio, Cash/Price Ratio, Earning per Share Growth-1yr, Earning per Share Growth-5yr, Insider Trades, Institutional Holdings %, Price/Book Ratio, Price/Cash Flow ratio. The databases are repeatedly searched for records matching the financial selection criteria preferences of the user. Financial securities meeting the users search criteria are then matched to an intellectual property database to determine the number of patents a financial security has been issued.</p> |
