A automated method using an intelligence technology (IT) system for drafting an invention disclosure from an initial invention concept using steps and means for parsing either an invention statement as to conception of invention of an inventive concept, and determining prior art relevant to salient features of the invention concept, using-keyword(s) to find key documents, (e.g. from the patent literature and technical data from search engines over the World Wide Web) to search prior art to determine patentability issues, enablement issues, and enhancement issues when iteratively enhancing a draft invention disclosure document until satisfied with the final version of the invention disclosure, to ultimately seek patent protection. The invention can also be used to do novelty searches from an initial invention statement written in normal sentences and entered into the IT system. Also, the invention can be used for determining prior art during opposition periods by third parties and challenge validity of an issued patent.
