Abstract: A method, system, and article are provided for efficiently and effectively searching an electronic document collection. Each of the documents in the collection is pre-divided into sub-sections. One or more profiles are created, each including a selection of at least one of the sections of the documents in the collection. In addition, a weight is assigned to each of the selected sections in the profile. Based upon the parameters of a query and selection of a profile, select sub-sections of each document are employed to compare query data to the underlying document collection. A compilation of documents is created with data matching the query data, and a relevancy score is computed for each document in the compilation. The relevancy score is then leveraged to sort the documents in a manner to convey relevancy to the query submission.

Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for scoring an intellectual property asset, such as a patent. A platform for automated scoring can implement a z-score statistical method, or variations thereof, to score a patent. The z-score statistical method can be used to measure where a value of a parameter in a patent lies in relation to the average value of that parameter in a patent population. Parameter scores can be obtained for each parameter of the patent. Additionally, a composite score can be provided that indicates an overall score or value of the patent, at least with respect to the parameters examined, as against the patent population. The composite score can be a weighted score of the z-scores of different parameters of the patent.

Abstract: A search platform that can locate a technology center within an organization using a patent search engine. Since organizational resources tend to be associated with patents or patent-related projects from a technical standpoint, the search platform can utilize these associations to identify particular technology centers within the organization. By searching patent collections and organizational workspaces associated with patents to obtain information on an organization's technology centers, the search platform can provide business intelligence to the organization without the need for a dedicated knowledge network to be built and maintained by the organization.

Abstract: A search platform that can generate intellectual property intelligence within an organization using a patent search engine. The patent search engine can monitor and log activity of users in connection with patent-related activities, such as searching, commenting on, and reviewing patent documents associated with a shared workspace of the organization. Based on this captured activity, the search engine can provide the organization with statistical information in patent-related activities occurring within the organization.

Abstract: A method, system, and article are provided for efficiently and effectively searching an electronic document collection. Each of the documents in the collection is pre-divided into sub-sections. One or more profiles are created, with each profile including a selection of one or more of the sections of the documents in the collection. In addition, a weight is assigned to each of the selected sections in the profile. Based upon the parameters of a query and selection of a profile, select sub-sections of each document are employed in a comparison of query data to the underlying document collection. A compilation of documents is created based upon all documents with data matching the query data within the sections of the document as identified in the submitted profile.

Abstract: A method, system, and article are provided for efficiently and effectively searching an electronic document collection. Each of the documents in the collection is pre-divided into sub-sections, and a static document vector is created for one or a combination of each sub-section of each document. A dynamic document vector is created for a query string submitted to the document collection. Based upon the parameters of the query, select sub-sections of each document are employed in a comparison of the dynamic document vector with select static document vectors. A compilation of IP documents is created based upon all associated select static document vectors that fall within a range of the dynamic document vector.
