Main Article Content

Abstract

Financial innovation is a method or system of financial management, for instance, method of risk management of mutual funds, method of assessment of ability or capacity of customer in revolving credits, method or system in securitization, These are types of inventions and are protected by patent as a financial business method according to the United States' patent law. Furthermore, the court in the United States already decided that financial business methods and financial innovations are protected. This has led the banks in the United States to invent a number of new financial innovations, which have a good impact on both the consumers and the banks. However, the patent law in Thailand does not yet protected financial innovations, and there is no decision in this area. Therefore, it is necessary to learn from the United States the various aspects of laws, judicial decisions, the banks' role in this area and the implications from the patent protection of financial innovation, for the benefit of application in Thailand.
