Simple vs. Sophisticated Approaches for Patent Prior-Art Search [PDF]
, 2011 Patent prior-art search is concerned with finding all filed patents relevant to a given patent application. We report a comparison between two search approaches representing the state-of-the-art in patent prior-art search. The first approach uses simple and straightforward information retrieval (IR) techniques, while the second uses much more ...

Improving Retrievability of Patents in Prior-Art Search [PDF]
, 2010 Prior-art search is an important task in patent retrieval. The success of this task relies upon the selection of relevant search queries. Typically terms for prior-art queries are extracted from the claim fields of query patents. However, due to the complex technical structure of patents, and presence of terms mismatch and vague terms, selecting ...

Prior art: To search or not to search
International Journal of Industrial Organization, 2010 Abstract To determine patentability, inventions are evaluated in light of existing prior art. Innovators have a duty to disclose any prior art that they are aware of, but have no obligation to search. We study innovators' incentives to search for prior art, their search intensities and the timing of search.

Building Queries for Prior-Art Search [PDF]
, 2011 Prior-art search is a critical step in the examination procedure of a patent application. This study explores automatic query generation from patent documents to facilitate the time-consuming and labor-intensive search for relevant patents. It is essential for this task to identify discriminative terms in different fields of a query patent, which ...

Search of Prior Art and Revelation of Information by Patent Applicants [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2008 We examine the strategic non-revelation of information by patent applicants. In a model of a bilateral search of information, we show that patent applicants may conceal information, and that examiners make their screening intensity contingent upon the received information.

Artificial intelligence for patent prior art searching
World Patent Information, 2021 This study explored how artificial intelligence (AI) could assist patent examiners as part of the prior art search process. The proof-of-concept allowed experimentation with different AI techniques to suggest search terms, retrieve most relevant documents, rank them and visualise their content.

Patent query reduction using pseudo relevance feedback [PDF]
, 2011 Queries in patent prior art search, being full patent applications, are very much longer than standard ad hoc search and web search topics. Standard information retrieval (IR) techniques are not entirely effective for patent prior art search because of ...
