Developing a Comprehensive Patent Related Information Retrieval Tool

Abstract

In recent years, there has been a massive growth of regulatory and related information available online.This information is distributed across many different domains creating a problem for accessing and managing this data.This paper proposes a framework to access information across two such domains -patents and court cases.The framework is designed to boost the value of a set of patents based on information available in court cases by identifying and cross-referencing mutual information in the two domains.We test our framework by constructing a use case involving the hormone erythropoietin.A corpus of 1150 patents (including 135 closely related patents) and 30 court cases is gathered.Challenges associated with such integration and future plans are briefly discussed.
