Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system and method for giving stockholders a cash bonus known as the sBONUS
  • the sBONUS motivates stockholders to purchase shares in the corporation and promote the corporation
  • the system and method of the present invention is unique because it empowers shareholders to earn an sBONUS Allowing an alternate stream of cash income encourages investment in the corporation Currently, many stock investors lose money on their investments This mediocre situation is due in part to the limited ways a stockholder can profit Currently, investors profit through trading and dividends Stock trading is subject to market fluctuations and thus very risky Dividends are unreliable because corporate management can discontinue dividends without notice Also, few co ⁇ orations pay cash dividends, because co ⁇ orations need to reinvest income Some studies say that cash dividends represent approximately 40% of the return for stockholders Stockholder bases are currently an untapped co ⁇ orate resource The sBONUS System aims to empower shareholders to work with the company in its endeavors and derive a new and powerful income structure Stockholders would no longer be seen as solely passive investors, but would become an active part of the company
  • the sBONUS can exceed the total investment of the stockholder, making possible a 100% or greater cash dividend Cash dividends greater than 100% are rare
  • the present invention is novel After a search the closest patent related is Ayyoubi 5233514, which allows shareholders to purchase stock by purchasing products and recording the sales through the scanning of UPC codes
  • Ayyoubi 5233514 discloses a unique incentive program of motivating shareholders and product purchasers, but does not allow direct cash investment With the sBONU$ system, no product purchase is necessary
  • Ayyoubi's incentive program is not analogous art because it targets purchasers rather than investors
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION sBONU$ is a system and method for providing a cash income source for shareholders
  • the invention is adapted for implementation, in part, on a digital computer and the Internet
  • the invention allows shareholders to earn a cash bonus through participation in qualifying programs Instead of passively waiting around, a shareholder can register his shares with the co ⁇ oration after purchase
  • a shareholder Upon registration of shares, a shareholder is given sBONU$ Opportunities in proportion to the number of shares purchased
  • the sBONU$ Opportunities can be cashed in to allow the shareholder to choose a distinct portion of the co ⁇ oration's market
  • This discrete market segment can be divided in any number of countless schemes such as geographically, demographically, along political boundaries, by product line, into zip codes, by area codes, by search que ⁇ es in the case of a search engine, by flight routes in the case of an airline
  • the shareholder then receives a cash bonus for qualified activities affecting that market segment Examples of qualifying activities may include the shareholders signing up investors for that area, or signing up
  • Fig 1 is a Diagram of the sBONU$ system
  • the shareholder begins the process by purchasing shares 101, as shown in Figure 1
  • the shareholder registers the shares with the co ⁇ oration 102, which could be over the internet, by phone or in person
  • the co ⁇ oration makes note of this, preferably storing the information on a computer database
  • the co ⁇ oration then gives the shareholder a certain number of sBONUS Opps (Opportunities) 103
  • Some sBONU$ programs may have a market segment 106, or be available co ⁇ orate wide Programs that are available co ⁇ orate wide are not limited to any particular market segment The market segments and the programs in the market segments are given to stockholders on a first come first served basis Thus, each investor has an individual and distinct right to his sBONUS under the rules of the co ⁇ oration and the prospectus
  • a shareholder could buy 100 shares of a paging service co ⁇ oration These shares are just like any other shares publicly traded, except that they also entitle her to 50 points of sBONUS Opps She can then choose among different sBONUS programs 104 She could choose to redeem 20 of these sBONU$ Opps points to enroll in the sBONUS customer referral program for the area code that she lives in By referring her friends, family and coworkers to sign up for pagers at the paging service corporation, she is making money for the co ⁇ oration Signing up a customer is her participation in the company 107
  • the co ⁇ oration makes note of her referrals and begins to give her money known as the sBONUS 108
  • the sBONU$ is a commission in the form of a residual In this case she could get a quarterly check equal to 15% of the gross income de ⁇ ved from the customers that she signed up This residual sBONUS would be in addition to whatever dividend she gets She can use her remaining 30 points of sBONUS Opps to buy into another program With a wide range of programs, the shareholder never gets bored The shareholder may abandon a program at any time
  • One interesting sBONUS program is to allow a stockholder to sell surplus corporate inventory Each stockholder can request the specific type of su ⁇ lus inventory to sell A newspaper company could benefit greatly from this Newspapers always have su ⁇ lus advertising that has not been sold, or is sold at very low prices
  • the co ⁇ oration can give the stockholder a specified percentage of the unsold advertising revenue to resell For example, revenues could be split 50/50 with the co ⁇ oration getting half and the shareholder getting half
  • the stockholder would control the adverting received exclusively, and may elect to have the company resell the advertising or to allow the stockholder to auction it off himself or to seek a buyer for it directly on his own sBONUS #2
  • Each stockholder would notify the company to place the name of a possible client on a database, if that client is not already reserved, the client is then reserved for the stockholder for a certain number of months When the co ⁇ orate sales force sells to that client, the stockholder gets a commission Alternatively, the shareholder can signup that client and make an even higher commission sBONUS #3
  • the market segment can be divided along the lines of intellectual property rights Stockholders enrolling in this program would pick one of the 500 plus trademarks owned by the company The stockholder gets an over ⁇ de on the licensing fees for a trademark An over ⁇ de means that the stockholder gets a percentage of the profits, income or revenue generated The stockholder could then try to sell or license the trademark sBONUS #5
  • Stockholders could be named regional sales or company agents for certain areas of the country based on area codes, or even zip codes Stockholders could be given over ride bonuses based on the volume of sales, or even the increase of volume in the area assigned
  • Each stockholder under the sBONUS system becomes an integral part of the company and has the ability to assist the corporation in much the same way as an employee sBONU$ #7
  • the sBONU$ program can be used by a shareholder purchasing stock in an internet search engine
  • the shareholder gets a percentage of the revenue from the advertising or listing revenue generated by the search query
  • the co ⁇ oration can give the shareholder marketing materials
  • the shareholder can then promote the search query sBONUS #8
  • the sBONUS program can give some benefits that were traditionally issued to employees only For example, Wal-Mart gives an employee discount on all purchases 10%) Stockholders could spend their sBONUS Opps Points to get the exact same benefit Also, co ⁇ orations such as Sears match the amount contributed by an employee for a profit sha ⁇ ng trust Sears places an equal amount of stock to the amount the employee purchases, up to a certain amount Stockholders under the sBONUS program could be allowed the same advantage by spending their sBONU$ Opps Points III Market Segments
  • the market segments 106 can be divided into any number of countless schemes such as geographically, demographically, along political boundaries, into zip codes, by area codes, by search que ⁇ es in the case of a search engine, or by flight routes in the case of an airline
  • the market segments as well as other specific information will be found in the prospectus or shareholder information brochure IV Residual form of Cash Bonuses
  • the residual form of the sBONUS is lost as shown in 113 once a shareholder sells the stock This is similar to an employee losing health benefits, scholarship, or profit sharing matching after leaving a firm
  • the sBONUS system promotes long term holding of shares 110 instead of speculation
  • the shareholder always has a decision to hold or sell 109 The loss of the residual will deter the shareholder from selling, and give more pnce stability
  • the sBONUS system will generally compensate stockholders in different ways and amounts
  • the co ⁇ oration can further encourage participation by giving different level of benefits, based on participation or performance, to increase the benefits going to certain stockholders
  • Stockholders can additionally be given a rating denoting their ability to generate revenue for the corporation
  • the highest earning stockholders might also be given special benefits to encourage stockholder participation
  • the current system enfranchises large co ⁇ orations who are seen as stronger and safer Access to capital determines co ⁇ orate success
  • the sBONUS system provides a more level playing field by allowing small co ⁇ orations to provide a new way to excite and motivate stockholders
  • the sBONUS system also enfranchises stockholders to receive substantial income outside the world of selling shares that jump and down on the whim of the market

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant de créer une source de revenus en espèces destinée à des actionnaires (voir fig. 1). Ce système et ce procédé sont partiellement exécutés sur un ordinateur et sur Internet. L'invention permet aux actionnaires de toucher une prime en espèces en participant à des programmes (105) de sélection. Lors de l'enregistrement des actions, l'actionnaire peut choisir une portion distincte du marché (106) d'une société. Le marché peut être divisé en un nombre quelconque de segments définis par exemple par régions géographiques, en suivant les frontières politiques, par codes postaux, par indicatifs régionaux, par interrogations dans le cas d'un moteur de recherche, par itinéraires de vol dans le cas d'une compagnie d'aviation. L'actionnaire touche ensuite une prime en espèces sur des activités se répercutant sur ce segment du marché. Les activités de sélection peuvent comprendre par exemple la signature de contrats d'investisseurs ou la signature de contrats clients pour le secteur en question.
