Abstract
A method and system for searching documents is provided. The method includes creating one or more document vectors from one or more input documents. The method further includes performing a search on a document database based on the document vectors to locate one or more output documents related to one or more input documents. Thereafter, the method includes creating an interactive work-file including a list of the output documents and analysis of one or more attributes associated with the output documents. The interactive work-file can be stored and shared by a legal practitioner. The legal practitioner may share the interactive work-file with external legal practitioners and external legal examining authorities.
Claims32
A method of searching documents, comprising:
- creating at least one document vector from at least one input document;
- performing a search on a document database based on the at least one document vector to locate at least one output document related to the at least one input document;
- and
- creating an interactive work-file comprising a list of the at least one output document and analysis of at least one attribute associated with the at least one output document.
A method of searching documents, comprising:
- creating at least one document vector from at least one input document;
- performing a search on a document database based on the at least one document vector to locate at least one output document related to the at least one input document;
- and
- creating an interactive work-file for a patent examiner comprising a list of the at least one output document and analysis of at least one attribute associated with the at least one output document, the at least one attribute comprising at least one of classification codes, assignees listed in the at least one output document, keywords occurring in the at least one output document, inventors listed in the at least one output document, bibliographic information, images, and technology fields associated with the at least one output document.
An Adaptive User Interface (AUI) comprising:
- an input field configured to receive at least one input document;
- a search element, wherein activating the search element creates at least one document vector from the at least one input document and performs a search on a document database based on the at least one document vector to locate at least one output document related to the at least one input document;
- an interactive result section configured to display a list of the at least one output document, wherein display of the list is modifiable based on received input;
- and
- an interactive analysis section configured to display analysis of at least one attribute associated with the at least one output document, wherein display of the analysis is modifiable based on received input.
A computer program product for searching documents, the computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, the computer readable program code performing:
- creating at least one document vector from at least one input document;
- performing a search on a document database based on the at least one document vector to locate at least one output document related to the at least one input document;
- and
- creating an interactive work-file comprising a list of the at least one output document and analysis of at least one attribute associated with the at least one output document.
