PATENT MAPPING

摘要

Systems and computer implemented methods for patent mapping are provided. In one embodiment, a system comprises a database of patent portfolios and a database of patents, each patent stored in the database of patents associated with one or more patent portfolios stored in the database of patent portfolios, and one or more specially-configured modules, each including a computer processor executing on software, to perform certain operations. The operations include highlighting claim terms associated with a patent concept across a number of patent claims; storing the associations; and displaying one or more mapped patent claims and the highlighted claim terms associated with the patent concept to a user in a graphic user interface.

1. A system comprising:
a database of patent portfolios and a database of patents, each patent stored in the database of patents associated with one or more patent portfolios stored in the database of patent portfolios; and one or more specially-configured modules, each including a computer processor executing on software, to perform operations including:
receiving a search query associated with a first patent portfolio;searching the first portfolio as a function of the search query;generating search results, the search results including one or more patent claims associated with the search query;maintaining a database of ontologies, the ontologies including one or more patent concepts, the patent concepts including at least one technology category and a scope concept defining a scope to which a patent claim is limited;mapping the one or more patent claims to a patent concept;highlighting any claim terms associated with the patent concept across a number of patent claims;storing the associations; anddisplaying the one or more mapped patent claims and the one or more highlighted claim terms associated with a patent concept across a number of claims to a user in a graphic user interface.
