In one embodiment, a method of evaluating a term in a patent-related document includes receiving a selected term, generating one or more variant suggestions related to the selected term, displaying the one or more variant suggestions, receiving one or more selected variant suggestions from the one or more variant suggestions, and associating the one or more selected variant suggestions with the selected term. In another embodiment, a method of evaluating a term in a patent-related document includes displaying a list of terms appearing in a first patent-related document and a second patent-related document, displaying a graphical representation of whether or not individual terms in the list of terms appear in the first patent-related document or the second patent-related document, and receiving a selected term from the list of terms. The method further includes displaying one or more variant suggestions related to the selected term.

Methods for evaluating term support in patent-related documents

In one embodiment, a method for searching for drawings found in a set of patent-related documents includes receiving a search query, and searching a parts index for part names matching one or more terms in the search query. The method further includes displaying one or more drawings, wherein the one or more drawings include at least one part name within the search query and the part name is stored within the parts index. In another embodiment, a method for searching for drawings includes receiving a request to search for drawings relating to a select drawing of a patent-related document, extracting parts information from the select drawing, and comparing the extracted parts information with parts information stored in a parts index. The method further includes determining that one or more drawings are similar to the select drawing, and displaying the one or more drawings.

Systems and methods for image searching of patent-related documents

In one embodiment, a method of searching for patent-related documents stored in a document corpus include receiving, by a computing device, a search query comprising a first term and a second term, wherein the search query indicates that the first term is an equivalent of the second term, searching the document corpus for patent-related documents wherein the first term is used interchangeably with the second term, and preparing for display a list of one or more patent-related documents. In yet another embodiment, a method of searching a parts thesaurus, includes receiving, by a computing device, a search query including a search term, and searching the parts thesaurus for term variants of the search term. The method further includes preparing for display term variants of the search term found in the parts thesaurus.

Methods and computer-program products for searching patent-related documents using search term variants

Systems and methods are provided for analyzing documents. In one implementation, a computer implemented method is provided for analyzing a patent application and providing a visual representation. According to the method, a selection is received from a user to view claims of the patent application in a claim tree hierarchy and a computer displays the claims in the claim tree hierarchy on a display. The claim tree hierarchy visually depicts relationships between the claims. The method identifies one or more words of at least one of the claims that constitutes an element and displays, in the claim tree hierarchy, the words constituting the element in association with the claim.

Systems and methods for analyzing documents

Methods and systems are disclosed that analyze patent-related documents having at least one property type. In one implementation, a method involves displaying, in a first graphical element, identifiers of the patent-related documents. The method also involves analyzing the patent-related documents to determine at least one property value for the property type. The property value includes a string of one or more words describing subject matter associated with the patent-related documents and occurring in a subset of the patent-related documents. The method also displays a second graphical element associated with the property type. The second graphical element includes the property value. The method receives, at the second graphical element, a user selection of the property value. The method displays, in the first graphical element, identifiers of the subset of the patent-related documents in which the property value occurs.

System and methods for analyzing documents

Disclosed methods and computer program products provide tools for analyzing documents. For example, a computer program product that is stored on a computer-readable storage medium includes instructions that, when executed, cause a computer system to perform certain steps. The steps include, for example, receiving a selection of two or more documents for comparison, the documents including numbered sections, and automatically determining matching numbered sections between the two or more documents. In one embodiment, the steps further include, in response to the determining, displaying in a graphical user interface a representation of a first set of numbered sections from a first of the documents and a representation of a second set of numbered sections from a second of the documents, and indicating, in the graphical user interface, matching numbered sections between the first set of numbered sections and the second set of numbered sections.

Method and computer program product for analyzing documents

An apparatus and related method for conveying information associated with containers. The apparatus comprises a container supporting modification means which when selectively altered effectively changes the appearance of the container such that a unique visual communication is produced. The related method comprises selectively altering the modification means supported by the container thereby providing a unique visual communication.
