The present invention is generally related to systems and apparatus for covering, protecting, and concealing personal, private, confidential, and nonpublic information, secret, or other information, and covering and concealing printed and/or hand-written text, lettering, graphics, drawings, and/or marks on one or more sheets, pages, or pages of a book.
Notaries Public provide notarial and authentication services to the general public and in numerous industries such as banking, real estate closings, employment, and other industries requiring verification of identity and signature witnessing. Generally, a Notary Public (also referred to as a “Notary” or “public Notary”) is a public officer constituted by law to serve the public in non-contentious matters usually concerned with estates, deeds, powers-of-attorney, and foreign and international business. A Notary Public's main functions are to serve the public as an impartial witness in performing a variety of official acts related to transactions and signing of important documents such as which grant powers of attorney, convey interest in real estate, and other documents. A Notary's duty is to screen a signer's identity, their signing without duress or intimidation, and their awareness of the transaction or contents of the document being signed. The Notary may administer oaths and affirmations, take affidavits, and statutory declarations, witness and authenticate the execution of certain classes of documents, such as, for example, take acknowledgments of deeds and other conveyances, protest notes and bills of exchange, provide notice of foreign drafts, prepare marine or ship's protests in cases of damage, provide exemplifications and notarial copies, and perform certain other official acts depending on the jurisdiction. Any such act is known as a notarization or a notarial act.
Typically, there are multiple methods of identification presented to a Notary Public and extensive titles of documents a Notary Public records. Recording such data and information can be time consuming as documents, acts, and services must be substantially written in a Notary Public Record Book (also referred to as a Notary Public Log Book or Notary Journal. For example, some Notary journals have record entries containing a box that can be quickly checked for an Acknowledgement or Oath but do not contain a box to quickly check the type of identification method presented by a signer/affiant, such as driver's license, tribal card, or credible witness, or for quickly checking a box for a specific title of the type of document being notarized, such as a Power of Attorney, bill of sale, contract, last will and testament, etc., or have an acronym reference list which can assist a Notary Public to record such more quickly. Additionally, for the purposes of signature authentication, a Notary Public verifies a signature of a signer/affiant with a signature on the identification method presented to a Notary Public by a signer/affiant before a document can be officially notarized, recorded, and/or have legal effect. In many states and countries, a citizen utilizing the services of a Notary Public sign within a record of a Notary Public's journal (also referred to as book, logbook, book of notarial acts, journal of notarial acts, or record book). The Notary Public must be reasonably satisfied that the identification presented is authentic, valid, unexpired, and matches the signer/affiant. That determination may be made by multiple methods including comparing and/or matching a signer/affiant's signature made in a Notary Public's journal, with and/or against the identification presented by a signer/affiant; by visual inspection of physical data, photograph, and signatures shown on an identification method presented by a signer/affiant; by the physical appearance; by comparing and/or matching relevant information and/or signatures on other documents and records; by usage of credible witnesses; and other law-regulated or best practice guidelines and procedures.
Historically, a Notary journal consists of a bound book. The type of Notary journal may be governed by state laws but generally must be well-bound. The term well-bound, is not generally specific, however, when referring to a Notary journal, it is oftentimes assumed in reference to prevent fraud, tampering with the contents of a journal, and having journal and content integrity, generally meaning the condition of being unified, unimpaired, or of sound construction and the state of being whole and undivided. Often, notarial acts and events are recorded in a Notary journal in exact numerical and sequential order. The bound book includes line item information records for data entry that contain, for example, information regarding the type of document notarized, a signer/affiant, a place for a signer/affiant's signature. Data entered regarding a signer/affiant may include information, personal, private, NonPublic Personal Information (also referred to as NPPI or NPI) such as their name, address, driver's license number, date of birth, fingerprint, etc. Information specific to a signer/affiant may also include the nature of a signed or notarized document which may reveal private, personal, confidential, nonpublic information. A Notary Public enters signer/affiant information into a Notary journal and upon examination and verification of the identification presented for authenticity and accuracy of identity, a Notary Public may then turn a Notary journal and present it to the signer/affiant for their signature and/or fingerprint (generally a thumbprint). Papers, books, journals, and ledgers, used in a plurality of applications including businesses, industries, and government, and may contain personal, private, NPPI or NPI, confidential data or information, including intellectual property or secret information.
Typically, a bound book may contain any number of pages. Notary Journals, for example may contain about 60-150 pages with each page including up to eight to eighteen information records. A Notary journal is not configured to keep private information from the view of others or subsequent signers/affiants. When open, the bound book may reveal approximately seven to seventeen records containing private information. For example, a signer/affiant that places their signature or fingerprint for identification verification on line seven of a book is able to see information records for the previous six signers/affiants, and a signer/affiant on line 14 is able to view information records for the previous 13 signer/affiants. Thus, NPPI and other signer/affiant information is exposed.
Notaries for example, are professionals and generally state commissioned officials who are guided by standards, principals, and/or laws that include protecting private, nonpublic, personal information. This includes concealing information and prior signer/affiant information already entered in a journal from the general public, current signer/affiants, clients, or others, and while a journal is in usage, being viewed or reviewed, during data entry, and when verifying the identification of a signer/affiant, and/or presenting a journal for a signature or fingerprint for authentication.
Thus, Notaries Public have used Notary journals with such binding systems and methods as library binding, edition binding, publisher binding, standard binding, Smyth-sewn binding, glued binding, and other similar bindings, which do not generally lay flat when open, and do not conceal information records or data.
Notaries Public have attempted to conceal NPPI in such bound journals using a sheet of paper or with a folder as in U.S. Pat. No. 7,946,552B1 which is a type of substantially opaque privacy folder sleeve which can be slid or placed around a page to cover any portion of a page to prevent others and/or subsequent signer/affiant's from viewing data records, a previous signer/affiant's NPPI, and/or committing identity theft. A disadvantage of this type of covering device is that such device is oftentimes moved out of the way by a signer/affiant, inadvertently, and/or purposefully when signing the Notary Journal. Also, a Notary Journal will generally not lay flat when open due to a natural curvature of the bookbinding spine which can further complicate the use of the folder sleeve. Another disadvantage of such covering device is that the device may not stay where placed, if bumped, when moving the Notary Journal about, or when presenting the book to a signer/affiant to receive their signature, fingerprint, or for other reasons. A sheet of paper or folder tends to shift when a Notary turns and presents a Notary Journal to a signer/affiant for their signature and/or fingerprint. A sheet of paper or folder tends to be moved or pushed by a signer/affiant when a Notary turns and presents a Notary Journal to a signer/affiant for their signature and/or fingerprint. Additionally, many current Notary Journals can contain sections having NPPI data for a single record on two facing pages of a journal which may require concealment of NPPI on two pages, simultaneously. In such Notary journals, the possibility of NPPI exposure can double and be twice as challenging to conceal. The sheet of paper or folder sleeve concealment approach may leave NPPI of prior signer/affiants exposed.
Notaries are not the only people, profession, or industry that seeks to conceal or protect private, personal, and/or nonpublic information or cover and conceal printed and/or hand-written text, lettering, graphics, drawings, and/or marks on a sheet, page, or page of a book. For example, hospitals and medical offices seek to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA) and new law requirements, and scientists, accountants, corporations, businesses, government agencies, private citizens, and others seek to reduce exposure and viewability of documents, records, data, private and/or NPPI such as medical information, records, log books, accounting ledgers, business journals, books, scientific records, top-secret documents, records, data, and similar data or information, and/or hand-written text, lettering, graphics, drawings, and/or marks on a sheet, page, or page of a book from exposure or undesired or unauthorized exposure.
