Specifically, in a typical embodiment, a user will: designate and/or modify a report template; input a set of unique identifiers corresponding to a set of electronic documents (e.g., patent documents); optionally designate a hierarchy of the set of electronic documents; provide a set of input parameters for report content; and optionally provide any manually generated content. Thereafter, the electronic documents will be retrieved from a database or the like. Based on the input parameters, report content and/or report objects will be automatically generated from the electronic documents and populated into a report (using the template) along with the manually generated content provided by the user. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer-implemented method for generating reports in a networked computing environment, comprising: receiving a set of unique identifiers, the set of unique identifiers corresponding to a set of electronic documents; receiving a set of input parameters associated with the set of unique identifiers; retrieving the set of electronic documents from at least one computer storage device using the set of unique identifiers; generating a set of report content and a set of report objects from the electronic documents based on the set of input parameters; and generating a report using a previously designated template, the report comprising the set of report content, and the set of report objects. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, the set of electronic documents comprising a set of patent documents, and the set of unique identifiers identifying the set of patent documents. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a defined hierarchy among the set of unique identifiers, the defined hierarchy comprising a taxonomic hierarchy. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving a designation of the template; and modifying the template to yield a customized template. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a set of manually provided content, the report further comprising the set of manually designated content. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising verifying a validity of the set of unique identifiers. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The computer-implemented method of claim 6, further comprising recommending a correction for any of the set of unique identifiers determined to be invalid. ### Claim 8 A system for generating reports in a networked computing environment, comprising: a memory medium comprising instructions; a bus coupled to the memory medium; and a processor coupled to the bus that when executing the instructions causes the system to: receive a set of unique identifiers, the set of unique identifiers corresponding to a set of electronic documents; receive a defined hierarchy among the set of unique identifiers; receive a set of input parameters associated with the set of unique identifiers; receive a set of manually provided content; retrieve the set of electronic documents from at least one computer storage device using the set of unique identifiers; generate a set of report content and a set of report objects from the electronic documents based on the set of input parameters; and generate a report using a previously designated template, the report comprising the set of manually provided content, the set of report content, and the set of report objects. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, the set of electronic documents comprising a set of patent documents, and the set of unique identifiers identifying the set of patent documents. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, the set of patent documents comprising at least one of the following: issued patents or published patent applications. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, the memory medium further comprising instructions for causing the system to receive a designation of the template. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, the memory medium further comprising instructions for causing the system to modify the template to yield a customized template. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, the memory medium further comprising instructions for causing the system to verify a validity of the set of unique identifiers. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13, the memory medium further comprising instructions for causing the system to recommend a correction for any of the set of unique identifiers determined to be invalid. ### Claim 15 A computer program product for generating reports in a networked computing environment comprising a computer readable storage media, and program instructions stored on the computer readable storage media, to: receive a set of unique identifiers, the set of unique identifiers corresponding to a set of electronic documents; receive a defined hierarchy among the set of unique identifiers; receive a set of input parameters associated with the set of unique identifiers; receive a set of manually provided content; retrieve the set of electronic documents from at least one computer storage device using the set of unique identifiers; generate a set of report content and a set of report objects from the electronic documents based on the set of input parameters; and generate a report using a previously designated template, the report comprising the set of manually provided content, the set of report content, and the set of report objects. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The computer program product of claim 15, the set of electronic documents comprising a set of patent documents, and the set of unique identifiers identifying the set of patent documents. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The computer program product of claim 16, the set of patent documents comprising at least one of the following: issued patents or published patent applications. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The computer program product of claim 15, the computer readable storage media further comprising instructions to receive a designation of the template. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The computer program product of claim 18, the computer readable storage media further comprising instructions to modify the template to yield a customized template. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The computer program product of claim 15, the computer readable storage media further comprising instructions to verify a validity of the set of unique identifiers. ### Claim 21 (depends on 20) The computer program product of claim 20, the memory medium further comprising instructions for causing the system to recommend a correction for any of the set of unique identifiers determined to be invalid. ### Claim 22 A method for deploying a system for generating reports in a networked computing environment, comprising: deploying a computer infrastructure being operable to: receive a set of unique identifiers, the set of unique identifiers corresponding to a set of electronic documents;
