Abstract:
To propose a patent value evaluating device capable of identifying the causal association with business activity. A patent power calculating device comprises a patent history data acquiring section, an item content extracting section for searching for a combination of names of standard items indicating legal procedures and extracting the item contents and their procedure dates, a cost table holding section for holding a cost table where the combinations of item contents and prepared costs are associated with one another, an obsolescence function storage section for storing obsolescence functions used as indications of the obsolescence of the technology of the patent, a post-obsolescence cost calculating section for acquiring costs from the cost table and calculating the post-obsolescence cost by using the procedure date, and the obsolescence function, a totalizing section for totalizing the calculated post-obsolescence costs, and outputting the totalized value as the patent power.

Claim (Index 4):
A method of operating a computer for calculating a patent power, comprising the steps of:\n storing a cost table on a computer readable storage device, in which a predetermined cost is correlated with a combination of item contents, correlated with the combination of standard item names of the patent history data indicating legal procedures against a patent or a patent application; storing obsolescence functions on a computer readable storage device, the obsolescence functions which are lead from the cumulative patent vanish ratio in each elapsed years from filing date, used as measures of the obsolescence of the technology of a patent or a patent application in each technical field; acquiring a patent history data of a patent or a patent application, which includes one or more histories from a non-transitory computer readable medium; searching for a combination of standard item names of the patent history data indicating legal procedures against the patent or the patent application implemented by a patent right holder or a patent applicant described in the acquired patent history data by pattern matching processing utilizing a preliminarily given pattern, and extracting item content described in the patent history data correlated with a procedure date in accordance with the retrieved combination of standard item names of the patent history data; storing the extracted item content and the date correlated with the retrieved combination of standard item names of the patent history data on a computer readable storage device; acquiring costs with respect to combination of item contents extracted according to the combination of standard item names of the patent history data of each patent or patent application by means of the cost table; calculating the post-obsolescence cost on a calculation reference date, by applying elapsed days from filing date to the obsolescence function, by means of the calculation reference date, the procedure date correlated with the combination of item contents, the filing date of the patent or the patent application, and the obsolescence function of the technical field of the patent or the patent application; totalizing the calculated obsolescence costs regarding the patent; and outputting the totalized value as the patent power.
