METHOD, SYSTEM, AND PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR CREATING REPORTS FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

摘要

A method, system and program product comprise communicating, to a server, a user's request for a report comprising a name associated with a portfolio of patent applications, a first value indicating a time frame, and a second value indicating a period of time. The server is operable for using the name for extracting patent application data from databases to a second database and filtering the extracted data using the first value. The filtered data is organized by offices of filing, patent families, classifications, and status. Costs for patent applications associated with the filtered data are determined using the second value. Filing patterns are determined using the offices of filing and the patent families. Filing activity are determined using the classifications. Times to grant for the offices of filing are determined. At least one report is generated and received over the network.
