Abstract: A method for correcting orientation of patent figures for efficiently reviewing and analyzing a patent document (e.g. patent application, published patent document or patent). The method for correcting orientation of patent figures includes acquiring a patent image file for a patent document, identifying the Figure Page(s) in the patent image, determining what Figure Page(s) were originally prepared in a “landscape” orientation, and modifying the Landscape Pages to be in a landscape orientation thereby rotating the Figure Page clockwise 90 degrees.

Abstract: An Internet based help system for establishing substantially real-time help dialog over the Internet between a client who has a question about a subject and a selected expert knowledgeable in that subject. The inventive system includes a plurality of experts on various topics located anywhere in the world that are stored within an “expert list” on a server computer. When any of the experts within the expert list log onto the Internet, software on the expert's computer notifies the server computer via the Internet that the expert is on-line and available for real-time help sessions with clients thereby logging the expert into an “expert on-line list” (EOLL). When a client accesses a website and requires assistance on a question about the subject, the client selects a “real-time help button” on the screen to enter a real-time question into.
