A computerized system for preparing a formalized document, comprising:
- a repository of candidate text for use in preparing the document;
- and
- an interactive display having selectable indicia to initiate system functions, the display including an editing window;
- characterized in that the system selects candidate text for the document from the repository and displays the candidate text in the editing window, the user edits the candidate text in the editing window and signals satisfaction, and the system uses the approved text in preparing the formalized document.
A computerized method for preparing a formalized document, comprising the steps of:
- (a) selecting candidate text for the document from a data repository;
- (b) presenting the candidate text in an editing window of an interactive display;
- (c) accepting text as finished that is approved by a user through a pre-arranged signal;
- and
- (d) using the approved text in preparing the formalized document.
A computerized system for preparing a patent application specification, comprising:
- a repository of candidate text for use in preparing separate text portions of the patent specification;
- and
- an interactive display having selectable indicia to initiate system functions, and an editing window;
- characterized in that the system constrains preparation of the specification by enabling preparation of each portion in a pre-programmed order, selecting candidate text for each portion from the repository and displaying the candidate text in the editing window, presenting the candidate text to the user in the editing window to be edited, and using approved text in preparing the patent application specification.
