Patent casts doubt on investor access to XBRL
Concerns are being raised that a patent issued to private company EDGAR Online Inc. (NASDAQ: EDGR) will restrict investors’ access to tools that enable them to quickly analyze company financial information in the regulatory mandated eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL)... From a competitive standpoint, industry observers point to Denver, Colorado-based Rivet Software, a leading provider of XBRL tools, as potentially being most impacted by EDGAR Online’s patent.
However, in an emailed statement, Rivet said: “We don’t feel this patent infringes at all on how XBRL data is gathered by Rivet’s Crossfire Analytics, which is protected by patent #7,822,769 (Analysis of financial and business information based on interactive data) which was approved on October 26, 2010. Rivet developed Crossfire Analytics years ago in anticipation of the demand XBRL data would generate. We’re enthusiastic that others are also recognizing the value this information offers and look forward to expanding our leadership from XBRL data creation to XBRL data consumption and analytics.”
