Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods of locating patent assets. Embodiments include requesting information related to a technology subject matter. The request can be sent to a research community that returns crowd-sourced results, e.g., patent assets. The patent assets can be sorted, weighted, and analyzed for quality. One method of assessing quality is to compare the crowd-sourced patent assets to patent assets obtained through other means, such as through a semantic search. Another method includes weighting results using various criteria to prioritize patent assets.
