Patent number: 10152514Abstract: A computerized reference analysis tool utilizes a prior art reference collection process to create a relatively smaller set of relevant references, together with a computerized reference ranking engine that ranks the set of harvested references for relevance with respect to the entirety of a claim set for a patent or patent application. The results of the computerized reference analysis tool harvesting and ranking this smaller set of prior art references can be presented to a user as an aggregated relevance listing, together with a visually or graphically displayed representation of the relevance ranking of the prior art references relative to individual claims and/or to individual claim elements.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2016Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: Patterson Thuente Pedersen, P.A.Inventors: Brad Pedersen, Christian Girtz

Patent number: 9418081Abstract: A system for accessing, by a resource, a setting in a virtualized user profile includes an isolation environment, a resource, and a filter driver. The resource executes outside an isolation environment on a local machine and requests access to a setting in a user profile. The filter driver intercepts the request for access and identifies one of the isolation environment and a remote machine, responsive to an application of a rule to the request. The filter driver redirects the request to the one of the isolation environment and the remote machine. A method includes intercepting an instruction from a resource to modify a setting on a local machine, the resource provided by a local machine and executing outside of an isolation environment. The method includes identifying the isolation environment, responsive to an application of a rule to the instruction. The method includes redirecting the instruction to the isolation environment.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2013Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Brad Pedersen, Rick G.
