Abstract: Various of the disclosed embodiments concern systems and methods for applying legal analytics. In some embodiments, a legal analytics platform retrieves legal data from an electronic database, analyzes some or all of the legal data, and identifies interesting patterns and results of statistical analyses. In order to permit searching of the legal data, metadata elements or tags can be generated for legal entities and legal events. In some embodiments, the legal analytics platform identifies timestamps in the legal data and performs time-based statistical analysis. Results of the statistical analyses can be presented to a user via a graphical user interface (GUI), which may also allow the user to interact with the legal analytics platform and search one or more databases of legal data.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for searching for drawings found in a set of patent-related documents includes receiving a search query, and searching a parts index for part names matching one or more terms in the search query. The method further includes displaying one or more drawings, wherein the one or more drawings include at least one part name within the search query and the part name is stored within the parts index. In another embodiment, a method for searching for drawings includes receiving a request to search for drawings relating to a select drawing of a patent-related document, extracting parts information from the select drawing, and comparing the extracted parts information with parts information stored in a parts index. The method further includes determining that one or more drawings are similar to the select drawing, and displaying the one or more drawings.

Abstract: Presented herein are systems and method for generating and/or using a classifier that can identify or classify entities, such as (by way of illustration and not limitation) whether an entity in a contested proceeding is a patent monetizing entity (PME). In embodiments, using features extracted from various sources such as, by way of example and not limitation, the entities' litigation behavior, the patents they asserted, and their presence on the web, a classifier can correctly separates PMEs from operating companies with a reasonable degree of accuracy. In embodiments, one or more classifier may be trained to classify or label entities into one of a plurality of classes. Such classifiers can be useful tools for policy makers and others, allowing them to gain a clearer picture of contested proceedings filed to date and assessing newly filed cases in real time.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention comprise using non-textual information in analyses of patent matters. In embodiments, patent matter similarity may comprise a combination of two or more metrics: (a) a metric that measures the textual similarity between an input patent portfolio and patent matters; (b) a metric that measures the behavior between portfolio patents and other patent matters at issue (e.g., which patents are asserted in the same proceeding with portfolio patents); (c) a metric that measures the textual similarity between the textual description and patent matters; and (d) a metric that inspects which patent matters are placed at issue by peer companies. In embodiments, patent matter similarity may be determined using textual similarity in combination with non-textual information.
