Chemical inventions and chemical patents

Information Extraction from Chemical patents

The development of new chemicals or pharmaceuticals is preceded by an indepth analysis of published patents in this field. This information retrieval is a costly and time inefficient step when done by a human reader, yet it is mandatory for potential success of an investment. The goal of the research project UIMA-HPC is to automate and hence speed-up the process of knowledge mining about patent...

Mining chemical information from open patents

Linked Open Data presents an opportunity to vastly improve the quality of science in all fields by increasing the availability and usability of the data upon which it is based. In the chemical field, there is a huge amount of information available in the published literature, the vast majority of which is not available in machine-understandable formats. PatentEye, a prototype system for the ext...

Patentability of Chemical and Biotechnology Inventions: A Discrepancy in Standards

Grant v Commissioner of Patents and patenting knowledge inventions.

This article reviews the Full Federal Court decision in Grant v Commissioner of Patents (2006) 154 FCR 62; 69 IPR 221; [2006] FCAFC 120 denying patentability to a method for structuring a financial transaction so as to protect an individual's assets from a loss of ownership as a result of a legal liability. The article challenges the distinctions drawn by the Full Federal Court and argues that ...

IBEnt: Chemical Entity Mentions in Patents using ChEBI

This article presents our approach to the CEMP task of BioCreative V.5, which consisted in using our system, IBEnt, to identify chemical entity mentions in patents through machine learning and semantic similarity techniques. The features used combine the results of a CRF classifier, two lexical matching methods (FiGO and MER) and semantic similarity measures on ChEBI ontology. We also tested th...
