摘要:
System and method permit patent mapping. A method may comprise maintaining a database of patent portfolios and a database of patents with each patent stored in the database of patents associated with one or more patent portfolios stored in the database of patent portfolios. A target subject matter to be mapped is identified and a search query associated with the target subject matter is received. Search results are generated to define a first patent portfolio in the database with the search results including one or more patent claims associated with the search query. The one or more patent claims are mapped to a patent concept.

A system and computer implemented method are provided. The method comprises maintaining a database of patent portfolios and a database of patents, with each patent stored in the database of patents being associated with one or more patent portfolios stored in the database of patent portfolios. The method includes receiving a search query associated with a first patent portfolio; searching the first portfolio as a function of the search query; generating a seed set of search results including one or more patent claims associated with the search query, the patent claims including terms from the search query; automatically generating an expanded set of search results including one or more patent claims further associated with the search query or associated with the patent claims in the seed set of search results; and mapping the one or more patent claims to a patent concept.

A user-interface system is provided for a patent management system having access to at least one patent matter database and at least one reference database. The user interface system comprises a first user interface element allowing selection of data stored in the at least one patent matter database, a second user interface element allowing selection of data stored in the at least one reference database, a third user interface element for linking at least one reference stored in the at least one reference database with at least one patent in the patent matter database, a fourth user interface element allowing the selection for storage of further references into the at least one reference database, and a fifth user interface element allowing analysis of at least one of the linked references.
摘要:
The present inventive subject matter provides systems, methods, software, and data structures for patent mapping, storage, and searching. Some such embodiments include mapping patent documents, claims, and claim limitations. Some further embodiments provide for searching a universe of patent documents by patent document, claim, limitation, class, element, or concept.

A computer-implemented method and system are provided for monitoring developments in a field of prior art. The method comprises using one or more processors receive a search query including a first patent concept related to the field of prior art; search the Internet as a function of the search query; generate a first set of search results; store the first set of search results in a database; conduct a subsequent search on the Internet as a function of the search query; generate a second set of search results; compare the first and second sets of search results to identify differences in the results; and communicate the differences to a user. An ontology of patent concepts may be stored in a system database. The searches may be conducted automatically on a regular basis thereby notifying the user of any intervening changes in the field of prior art.

摘要:
Systems and methods for patent portfolio management and generation of analytics are described. A system comprises, for example, one or more modules. A first module is configured to combine data received from an official government source and from a docketing system. The data received may pertain to one or more assets of a patent portfolio. A second module is configured to generate a metric of the patent portfolio based on the combined data. The metric may measure a characteristic of the patent portfolio. A third module is configured to receive a request from a client device to display the metric. A fourth module is configured to, in response to the request to display the metric, display the metric in a user interface that includes one or more filtering elements that are selectable to request a filtering of the displayed metric.
摘要:
The present inventive subject matter relates to document management, more particularly to a system and method for information disclosure statement management and prior art cross-citation control. Various embodiments of the present inventive subject matter include systems and methods for controlling the cross-citation and propagation of prior art reference documents from one patent case to another. Some embodiments may include propagation control user interfaces which display to a user sets of patent cases as potential source documents of prior art. In some embodiments, characteristics of the prior art may be identified and used as the basis for selecting and controlling the cross-citation of prior art.
摘要:
System and method permit prior art management. A method may comprise maintaining a database of patent portfolios and a database of patents with each patent stored in the database of patents associated with one or more patent portfolios stored in the database of patent portfolios. A method and system of prior art management may include maintaining a database of prior art portfolios, a database of patent matters, and a database of prior art reference citations, at least some of the prior art reference citations being associated with at least one of the patent matters stored in the database. Prior art references may be cross-cited between patent matters and portfolios.
摘要:
A computer-implemented method and system are provided for profiling patent activity for a user. The patent activity may be competitive patent activity. The method comprises retrieving a first set of data from a database or patent registry relating to one or more patent matters in the name of a user-specified applicant, owner, or owner type and generating a first patent activity profile for the applicant, owner or owner type based on the retrieved data. The first patent activity profile is stored in a database as a reference profile. The method includes retrieving a second set of data from a database or patent registry relating to the one or more patent matters in the name of the specified applicant, owner, or owner type and comparing the first and second sets of data to identify deviations from the reference profile. The identified deviations are transmitted to the user.
