Method for constructing database of technique classification patent map

Abstract

A patent map (PM) database (DB) is constructed by employing a PM technique classification system and a technique classification PM DB. PM related information obtained by accessing a PM related server through Internet is provided and PM related information produced by an operator of the PM technique classification system is generated. A lower rank technique connection point and a higher rank technique connection point are connected between technique classification columns in the DB by using the PM related information, allowing at least one bibliographical data to be described in the lowest technique classification column of the lowest rank and storing technique classification information in the technique classification PM DB.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
