Abstract: An example embodiment includes a method for creating a family of related intellectual asset (IA) records. The method may include obtaining IA data for a current filing. The method may include creating an IA record for the current filing. The method may include obtaining IA data for one or more related filings. The current filing and the one or more related filings belong to a family of intellectual assets. The method may also include preparing for creation of a plurality of IA records for the one or more related filings based on the IA data for the current filing and the IA data for the one or more related filings. The method may further include creating a plurality of new IA records for the one or more related filings.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention includes a method of associating a file with an intellectual asset record. The method includes reading information such as the file name and metadata pertaining to a file. The file name has a predetermined format made up of fields. The fields in the file name and the metadata are extracted. Based upon the fields, the file is linked to intellectual asset record. The intellectual asset record includes a set of related data organized into meaningful units pertaining to an intellectual asset.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to museum docketing interfaces. An example embodiment includes a method of intellectual asset docketing. The method includes displaying a customizable docketing interface for a first intellectual asset record. The docketing interface includes multiple panels and each panel includes multiple related fields. The method additionally includes detecting user input into a first field of the docketing interface and closing at least one task for the first intellectual asset record based at least in part on the user input.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to related art citation management. One example embodiment includes a method of automating related art citation generation. The method includes reading a citation status of a related art reference for a patent document. The method further includes generating a related art reference list document. Additionally, in response to the citation status of the related art reference having a first citation status value, the method includes inserting into the related art reference list document a related art citation, the related art citation comprising metadata for the related art reference.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for estimating the inverse source wavelet of a seismic shot record for improved accuracy and efficiency in removing high order free surface multiples from the shot record, using a stochastic optimization technique, such as a genetic algorithm procedure, that can more readily accommodate non-linear aspects of this problem. The system and method is applied to a set of measured seismic field data, D.sub.o (x,t), with primary reflections and free surface multiples, where removal of the free surface multiples is determined utilizing an estimate of the inverse of the source wavelet and scale factors made from the seismic data. The system and method automatically optimizes estimates for the inverse of the source wavelet and scale factors.
