DocuSign, Inc., San Francisco, CA, has been assigned a patent (RE48,919) developed by Fleischman, Eric, Redmond, WA, Wald, Duane, Kent, WA, and Peterson, Donald G., Kirkland, WA, for “systems and methods for cloud data security.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Techniques for providing data security services with respect to cloud-based services are described. Examples include a security service provider (SSP) configured to perform or provide one or more security-related services or functions with respect to or on behalf of some other system or service. The other system or service may be, for example, a cloud-based system that provides network-accessible services. The SSP allows a user of the cloud-based service to provide and manage one or more security-related services, such as data storage, encryption, decryption, key management, and the like. By using and controlling the SSP, the user can be confident that his or her data is being securely represented and stored, even though it is being operated upon by a cloud-based service that is not under the user’s control.”

The patent application was filed on September 16, 2020 (17/023,040).
