<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To more objectively evaluate the patent quality by comparing the arithmetic level value that is calculated from every inputted evaluation value with the evaluation level reference value to be divided into plural steps to decide a relevant level and displaying the decided evaluation level. SOLUTION: A decision display means 22 calculates the arithmetic level value such as the mean value and the total value from the inputted evaluation value by a prescribed operation. Then the reference value, i.e., the evaluation level reference value with which the patents to be evaluated are divided at least into three ranks 'A', 'B' and 'C' is compared with the arithmetic level value. Based on this comparison result, an evaluation level 'B', etc., is shown by a display means 25. Thus, the patent evaluation can be objectively shown in letters 'A', 'B' and 'C' which are extremely easy to understand. Thereby any employee of a patent department, etc., can clearly grasp the patent evaluation of his/her company.</p> |
