Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed to analyze a patent document by identifying at least one element and relationship to other element(s) in a figure; analyzing text description of the element and relationship to other element(s); generating a user manipulable claim data structure including elements in a potential claim; and displaying a relationship between claims and showing the claims as one or more text nodes.
Claims19
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a storage device storing software including modules to:
- generating a claim tree showing inter-claim relationship between descendant and parent claims;
- utilizing an interface so that when a user selects a claim a graphical representation of the inter-claim relationship is diagrammed;
- moving claims when requested by the user, the claim tree visualizes the inter-claim relationship, wherein moving the claim by using drag and drop selection the claims will automatically be renumbered to show their new inter-claim relationship;
- adjusting claims when selected, added, or deleted, wherein all other claims will be automatically be adjusted and renumbered;
- checking the claims for antecedent and support in drawings and support in description;
- listing a table of claim elements, terms or phrases in the claims;
- detecting and displaying a claim number from a claim text and claim status as independent claim type or dependent claim type;
- and
- searching claim elements in the prior art and relating the prior art with the claim elements.
