Abstract
A system includes a processor and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to provide a graphical user interface (GUI) including a plurality of user-selectable elements accessible by a user to select a patent strength calculator from a plurality of patent strength calculators, to edit a patent strength calculator, or to create a new patent strength calculator. The memory further stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to apply a selected patent strength calculator to a list of documents to determine a patent strength score for each patent of the list of documents.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- an interface configured to communicate with a device through a network;
- a processor coupled to the interface;
- a memory accessible to the processor and storing a patent strength calculator and instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- provide a graphical user interface (GUI) to the device through the network, the GUI including data related to a list of documents and including a plurality of user-selectable elements accessible by a user to select a patent strength calculator option from a plurality of patent strength calculators, and at least one user-selectable element accessible by the user to create a new patent strength calculator;
- receive user input corresponding to the first GUI indicating a selection of the patent strength calculator from the device through the network;
- apply the patent strength calculator to the list of documents in response to the user input to determine a patent strength score for each patent of the list, the patent strength calculator to determine the patent strength score for each patent of the list based at least in part one of a number of patent claims, a number of words in each claim, a number of citations cited in the patent, a number of other documents that cite to the patent, any litigation involving the patent, file history information associated with the patent, and a remaining term of the patent;
- and
- provide a second GUI to the device through the network, the second GUI including the list of documents including the patent strength score for each patent of the list based on the patent strength calculator.
A system comprising:
- an interface configured to communicate with a device through a network;
- a processor coupled to the interface;
- a memory accessible to the processor and storing a patent strength calculator and instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- provide a graphical user interface (GUI) including a list of documents, the GUI including a first user-selectable option accessible by a user to access a formula associated with the patent strength calculator, the GUI including a second user-selectable option accessible by the user to select one or more patent strength calculators from a plurality of patent strength calculators, the GUI including a third user-selectable option accessible by the user to define a new patent strength calculator;
- receive a user input corresponding one of the first user-selectable option and the second user-selectable option;
- produce an adjusted patent strength calculator based on the patent strength calculator in response to the first user-selectable option and selectively apply the one or more patent strength calculators of the plurality of patent strength calculators in response to the second user-selectable option;
- apply at least one of the adjusted patent strength calculator and the one or more patent strength calculators to the list of documents in response to the user input to determine a patent strength score for each patent of the list of documents;
- and
- provide a second GUI to the device through the network, the second GUI including the list of documents including the patent strength score for each patent of the list based on at least one of the adjusted patent strength calculator and the one or more patent strength calculators.
A system comprising:
- an interface configured to communicate with a device through a network;
- a processor coupled to the interface;
- a memory accessible to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- provide a graphical user interface (GUI) including a list of documents, the GUI including a first user-selectable option accessible by a user to select a patent strength calculator from a plurality of patent strength calculators and a second user-selectable option accessible by the user to create a new patent strength calculator by selecting one or more fields and one or more operators from a list of fields for creation of the new patent strength calculator;
- receive a user input defining the new patent strength calculator and naming the new patent strength calculator;
- add the new patent strength calculator to the plurality of patent strength calculators accessible through the GUI;
- apply the patent strength calculator to the list of documents in response to the user input to determine a patent strength score associated with each patent of the list of documents;
- and
- send a second GUI including the list of documents and the associated patent strength scores to the device through the network.
