Legal Risk Advisory

Attention: Freight, Logistics, and E-Commerce Operators

TheIPSpy.com exists to monitor the digital landscape for potential infringements of pending intellectual property owned by Stephen Symington, including but not limited to the CargoQuoter instant quoting methodology.

A provisional patent covering real-time, customer-facing freight quotation systems without login, using behavioral pricing and hold-to-confirm mechanics was filed on April 7, 2025. Any public-facing implementation of similar technology may fall within the scope of enforceable IP rights.

While the full patent is pending, this public notice establishes awareness, intent to enforce, and documentation of observation. Use of similar systems, logic structures, or quoting UX processes — whether internal or via third-party software — may constitute infringement once full protection is granted.

Key Risk Areas:

  • Instant quoting on customer-facing websites
  • Behavioral pricing models (price shifts over time)
  • Quote-hold logic prior to customer identification
  • Anonymous quoting workflows without login
  • Real-time quote generation using pre-set variables

You Are Being Observed:

TheIPSpy.com uses public tools and open-source scrapers to monitor quote interfaces, pricing calculators, and customer UX workflows across logistics, freight, and SaaS platforms. All page changes, UI updates, and quote system deployments are archived and timestamped.

Digital footprints are permanent.

If You Are Unsure:

We invite any company currently deploying or considering such technology to seek a license or written exemption. We are open to:

  • Licensing discussions
  • Strategic partnerships
  • IP review with legal counsel

Avoid future disputes. Respect the process. Choose licensing over litigation.
