摘要： Method and apparatus are disclosed for managing intellectual property information including organizing intellectual property data in a data processing system according to file clusters. A method comprises organizing intellectual property data in an intellectual property data management system, wherein the management system tracks events and data related to a plurality of patent matters processed by one or more government agencies and owned by at least one patent owner. Representations of the patent matters are entered into a data structure in the data management system. A user of the data management system can selectively associate patent matters together into clusters wherein the clusters have names and wherein at least one of a plurality of clusters maintained in the system can be located and viewed. One of the matters associated with the cluster can be selected and the data of the matter viewed or processed by a user. Further, the clusters can be organized and categorized so that selected users can not view the clusters.
