TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure is generally related to targeted searching of public sources of information.
BACKGROUND Finding instances of patent infringement is a difficult and time consuming process, particularly for companies with large patent portfolios, with many potential infringers, or covering very futuristic concepts. The wealth of information available in public information sources may provide useful information regarding potential patent infringers. Many companies use experts in the particular technology field and outside firms to assist in identifying patent infringers. However, this process can be expensive, as well as difficult. The potential exists for many patent infringers to remain undetected.
SUMMARY The present disclosure provides systems and methods for an infringer finder to search public information sources for possible patent infringers. Some embodiments provide for analyzing an issued patent, associated patent support data, such as Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) information, and other reference materials, along with user input to create a patent search profile. Using the patent search profile, a search is made of public information sources and a report is generated summarizing possible patent infringement targets.
In the operating environment shown in FIG. 1, a user of a general purpose computer accesses one or more sources of public information such as PTO information and PTO support data 120 stored in a database, reference materials 135 stored in one or more databases, and information from search engines 125 (including web crawlers and other search logic) over a network such as the Internet 105. The system 100 can be implemented in software, firmware, hardware, or a combination thereof. According to an exemplary embodiment, the system 100 is implemented in software, as an executable program, and is executed by a special or general purpose digital computer 110, such as a personal computer, workstation, minicomputer, or mainframe computer. When implemented in software, the system 100 can be stored and transported on any computer-readable medium for use by or in connection with an instruction execution system, apparatus, or device, such as a computer-based system, processor-containing system, or other system that can fetch the instructions from the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device and execute the instructions. In the context of this document, a �computer-readable medium� can be any means that can contain, store, communicate, propagate, or transport the program for use by or in connection with the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device. The computer readable medium can be, for example but not limited to, an electronic, magnetic, optical, electromagnetic, infrared, or semiconductor system, apparatus, device, or propagation medium. More specific examples (a non-exhaustive list) of the computer-readable medium may include the following: an electrical connection (electronic) having one or more wires, a portable computer diskette (magnetic), a random access memory (RAM) (electronic), a read-only memory (ROM) (electronic), an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM or Flash memory) (electronic), an optical fiber (optical), and a portable compact disc read-only memory (CDROM) (optical). Note that the computer-readable medium could even be paper or another suitable medium upon which the program is printed, as the program can be electronically captured, via for instance optical scanning of the paper or other medium, then compiled, interpreted or otherwise processed in a suitable manner if necessary, and then stored in a computer memory. In addition, the scope of the present disclosure includes embodying the functionality of exemplary embodiments in logic embodied in hardware or software-configured mediums.
Analysis may also involve parsing keywords from the claims. The patent analysis module 145 may perform context analysis of words or phrases that appear in the claims. As an example, the terms graphite, composition, and wood might appear in a claim for a pencil. These terms appearing in close proximity to each other could be a useful ingredient to a patent search profile 200. If a particular claim contains a large number of keywords, then some percentage of those terms appearing together might be an interesting item to search for. The patent analysis module 145 could specify, for example, that finding any five of the seven keywords would be a relevant find. Further, the patent analysis module 145 may analyze the structure of the claim for identifying dependencies. For example, if claim 2 contains �The system as in claim 1 . . . � then relevant keywords from both claims 1 and 2 may be considered together.
An exemplary patent search profile 200, as created by the patent analysis module 145, is shown in FIG. 4. The patent analysis is based on initial input parameters 140 and/or patent analysis factors 161 (user input) received from the patent user tuner interface 160. The patent search profile 200 includes information or terms that may be relevant when searching for possible infringement. As an example, if the invention is a pencil, then relevant terms might include �graphite�, �wood�, �writing�, �mark�, �paper�, and �eraser�. For a mechanical pencil, the terms �mechanical� and �click� might also be relevant. Other relevant terms might include potential manufacturers or companies, or SIC codes. The patent search profile 200 is created based on the analysis of information gleaned from the initial input parameters 140 and from the patent analysis factors 161.
