Patent Document ID: 8161049
Application ID: 10915679

Base Claim:
1. A computerized method for evaluating a patent document, comprising: in a computer having a processor configured for: (a) introducing one or more patent indices, characterizing different aspects of the patent document and contributing to a quality of the patent document, the quality of the patent document being associated with a monetary value of the patent document; each index having a single numerical value and being defined on a bounded interval having respective minimal and maximal values; (b) performing a non-linear transformation of said patent indices into a Patent Quality (PQ) index, which characterizes the quality of the patent document by a single numerical value, said Patent Quality index being defined on a bounded interval for said Patent Quality index having respective PQ min and PQ max values; said transformation being continuous, monotonous with respect to each said one or more patent indices and being non-linear with respect to at least one of said one or more patent indices; wherein all patent indices are defined on the same bounded interval for each said patent index; wherein transforming any number of patent indices having equal numerical values holds the numerical value of said Patent Quality index unchanged; wherein said non-linear transformation has a parameter of non-linearity expressed as a real number, and wherein said non-linear transformation is a single-valued transformation providing a single numerical value for said PQ index for any parameter of non-linearity; and (c) analyzing numerical values of said patent indices by an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system, including generating a conclusion regarding the quality of the patent document based on numerical values of said patent indices and the performed analysis, and a reason explaining how the conclusion regarding the quality of the patent document relates to the numerical values of said patent indices.

Claim 3:
3. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the step of analyzing comprises analyzing the values of the patent indices by the AI system, which is a decision tree based AI system, comprising decision nodes and conclusion nodes, each decision node having at least two outcomes connecting the decision node to another decision node or to the conclusion node.
