Abstract

Systems and techniques for patent and prior art analysis are described herein. An issued independent claim of the identified patent is electronically retrieved. A pre-allowance published independent claim of the identified patent is electronically retrieved. The issued independent claim is automatically compared to the pre-allowance published independent claim using at least one unique keyword. A search query string is formulated comprising the at least one unique keyword. A search query is executed to a prior art database comprising a set of prior art documents using the search query string to identify a result prior art document set. An owner of each prior art document of the result prior art document set is identified. The owner is automatically ranked based on a number of keywords from the search query string owned by the owner. A user interface is output to a user comprising a visualization of the rank of the owner.
