If a software provides calculation of value-at-risk based on some text book methods (say the one described by John C. Hull), does the publisher of the software become liable to any claims for violation of intellectual property?
A simple google search reveals - https://patents.google.com/patent/US7356504B2/en but I cannot make any inference to answer my question.
(Limiting the jurisdiction to US for now; there are many other jurisdictions where software patents would be invalid.)
This question came from our site for legal professionals, students, and others with experience or interest in law.
There are many many patents with the term "value-at-risk" in the tile or body. From google patents -
