A Flexible Tool for Cross-Collection Patent Search
نویسندگان
چکیده
Prior-art retrieval is a crucial application of Patent Retrieval aimed to determine the novelty of a new invention. In this scenario patent authors require an exhaustive knowledge of all related patents and the search often involves multiple patent collections across the world, which do not share the same document structure or vocabulary. For this reason, despite of the numerous patent search applications already available, we propose in this paper PatentLight[1] a search tool that offers novel and flexible functionalities based on both fuzzy logic and IR to help users looking for relevant patents here represented as XML documents. We show some examples of the proposed search tool to inquiry the WIPO and USPTO collections in a flexible way.

متن کاملA Methodology for Building a Patent Test Collection for Prior Art Search
This paper proposes a methodology for the construction of a patent test collection for the task of prior art search. Key to the justification of the methodology is an analysis of the nature and structure of patent documents and the patenting process. These factors enable a corpus of patent documents to be reverse engineered in order to arrive at high quality, realistic, relevance assessments. T...
