Patent ID: 11947605
Assignee: nan
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 1:
2. A patent search tool system, the system comprising:
a. A computer;
b. a memory that stores processor-executed software modules; and
c. one or more processors in communication with the memory and configured to:
i. execute instructions stored on the memory; and
ii. produce a patent validity score utilizing the factors: similar text segments, abstract score, sibling score, classification score, and random walk score, and wherein said patent search tool identifies relevant prior art by evaluating said highlighted claim elements and comparing said highlighted claim elements with prior art text and link structure of a citation network wherein said citation network includes a patent classification system; and
wherein the patent search tool constructs a network that consists of art nodes and classification nodes; and
wherein each art node is linked to all art nodes that it cites and all classification nodes it belongs to; and
wherein said patent classification is utilized by said computer to compare the nodes between the predicted classifications of patent application claims with actual classes of said prior art reference text; and
wherein said link structure is categorized by said computer to determine how likely it is to find references based on the nodes of classification in said citation network of cited patents and analyzes a random walk distance between patent application claims and said prior art.
