Subject: [PIUG List] Beyond Keywords: Concept searching for patents
Please comment on whether you think this is useful, who might
want it, or why it's a waste of time.
A friend and I researching a new way to search for patents at UT
Austin. We call the new method "Concept Searching."
Currently people are forced to search on terms that are tied to form.
By the nature of the English language, it is very easy to create many
different descriptions for products that perform the same essential
functions. Our algorithm can parse plain text into (partial, but
useful) conceptual models as well as the implicit customer needs from
the patent description. This enables two or more products that may
appear to be different based on architecture or layout, to be
functionally compared to determine true novelty or uniqueness.
Conceptual models are universal, machine readable, and have a
one-to-one correspondence with products.
Thanks!
