Patent number: 12572606Abstract: Approaches provide for generating a document (e.g., a contract) that satisfies constraints of at least one party in negotiation. Information can be obtained from parties seeking to negotiate document sections (e.g., clauses or provisions) of a document such as a contract. Ranking values for a plurality of candidate contracts can be determined based on information from the parties, including their preferences for different sections (e.g., provisions) of the contract. The values can be used to optimize an optimization function that measures the degree to which candidate contracts satisfy the information provided by the parties. For example, an optimization technique, machine learning-based technique, or other appropriate technique can be utilized to determine a document or document information that satisfies the constraints of the parties. Thereafter, a contract can be selected and presented to the parties.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2024Date of Patent: March 10, 2026Assignee: ISG Information Services Group Americas, Inc.Inventors: Christopher D.
