  • Patent number: 12481690
    Abstract: A computer-based method is provided for filtering search results, including first identifying a plurality of documents for review and then identifying an initial plurality of search term results potentially relevant to a search query, each search term result of the initial plurality containing an occurrence of a primary search term of a plurality of primary search terms. The method then proceeds to group identical search term results to define a plurality of groups of search term results. Representative search term result of each group are presented for evaluation. Upon receiving an indication from a user that the representative search term result is to be removed, the method then removes all search term results of the corresponding group to define a modified plurality of search term results. Each document from which any search result of the modified plurality of search term results is drawn is defined as a potentially relevant document.

  • Patent number: 10873453
    Abstract: A computer based method of protecting sensitive documents is provided, the method comprising identifying a first document, generating a registration key associated with the first document, identifying a second document, generating a production key associated with the second document, and producing an alert if a segment of the production key is identical to a segment of the registration key. For example, the registration key may comprise a digital fingerprint and registration metadata and the production key may comprise a digital fingerprint and production metadata, and the method may produce an alert of the digital fingerprint of the production key matches the digital fingerprint of the registration key.
