Derivative relationship news event reporting
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for presenting derivative news events relevant to derivative entities of a main subject, comprising the steps of:
- associating at least one derivative entity with the main subject based on a direct relationship between the at least one derivative entity and the main subject;

Abstract
Presenting news events relevant to derivative entities of a main subject by associating derivative entities with the main subject based on a direct relationship with the main subject, filtering news events to identify main news events relevant to the main subject, identifying the derivative entities associated with the main subject, filtering news events to identify derivative news events relevant to the derivative entities, and presenting the main news events and the derivative news events. The direct relationship between the derivative entities and the main subject comprises one of supplier, customer, competitor, partner, joint venturer, and equity investor. Presenting the news events also can comprise filtering the derivative news events to identify filtered derivative news events based on specified criteria, where the presented derivative news events comprise only the filtered derivative news events. An investment opportunity can be identified based on the presented main news events and/or derivative news events.

20. A system for presenting derivative news events relevant to derivative entities of a main subject, comprising:
-
a relationship database that associates a plurality of first level derivative entities with the main subject based on a direct relationship between each of the first level derivative entities and the main subject;
a workstation operable to communicate a query to receive main news events relevant to the main subject and to receive the main news events communicated in response to the query; and
a server operable to identify the first level derivative entities associated with the main subject in said relationship database, wherein said workstation is further operable to receive derivative news events relevant to the first level derivative entities identified by said server and to present the received derivative news events simultaneously with the received main news events. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
