Systems, methods and user interfaces in a patent management system

A system to display an interactive user interface, the system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations to:
• download at least one document associated with a patent matter from at least one patent matter database;
• identify at least one reference document cited in the at least one document;
• download the at least one reference document from at least one reference database;
• store the at least one reference document in a patent management system;
• associate the at least one reference document with the patent matter in reference storage of a docket for the patent matter;
• scrape reference data from the at least one patent matter database, the reference data relating to references owned by or cited against at least one entity selected by a user;
• generate a prior art overlap graphic for the at least one reference document using a first priority date automatically determined for the at least one reference document and a second priority date automatically determined for the patent matter;
• generate a prior art overlap graphic for the references owned by or cited against the at least one entity selected by the user by mapping, against each other, the references owned by or cited against the at least one entity selected by the user;
• and
• generate, for output to a display device, a docket user interface that includes a display of the docket that includes a docket entry, the prior art overlap graphic for the at least one reference document, the prior art overlap graphic for the references owned by or cited against the at least one entity selected by the user, and a link to the at least one document.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions to display an interactive user interface that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations to:

• download at least one document associated with a patent matter from at least one patent matter database;
• identify at least one reference document cited in the at least one document;
• download the at least one reference document from at least one reference database;
• store the at least one reference document in a patent management system;
• associate the at least one reference document with the patent matter in reference storage of a docket for the patent matter;
• scrape reference data from the at least one patent matter database, the reference data relating to references owned by or cited against at least one entity selected by a user;
• generate a prior art overlap graphic for the at least one reference document using a first priority date automatically determined for the at least one reference document and a second priority date automatically determined for the patent matter;
• generate a prior art overlap graphic for the references owned by or cited against the at least one entity selected by the user by mapping, against each other, the references owned by or cited against the at least one entity selected by the user;
• and
• generate, for output to a display device, a docket user interface that includes a display of the docket that includes a docket entry, the prior art overlap graphic for the at least one reference document, the prior art overlap graphic for the references owned by or cited against the at least one entity selected by the user, and a link to the at least one document.

A method to display an interactive user interface for a patent management system having access to at least one patent matter database and at least one reference database comprising:

• downloading at least one document associated with a patent matter from at least one patent matter database;
• identifying at least one reference document cited in the at least one document;
• downloading the at least one reference document from at least one reference database;
• storing the at least one reference document in a patent management system;
• associating the at least one reference document with the patent matter in reference storage of a docket for the patent matter;
• scraping reference data from the at least one patent matter database, the reference data relating to references owned by or cited against at least one entity selected by a user;
• generating a prior art overlap graphic for the at least one reference document using a first priority date automatically determined for the at least one reference document and a second priority date automatically determined for the patent matter;
• generating a prior art overlap graphic for the references owned by or cited against the at least one entity selected by the user by mapping, against each other, the references owned by or cited against the at least one entity selected by the user;
• and
• generating, for output to a display device, a docket user interface that includes a display of the docket that includes a docket entry, the prior art overlap graphic for the at least one reference document, the prior art overlap graphic for the references owned by or cited against the at least one entity selected by the user, and a link to the at least one document.
