Abstract: A system and method for processing a document to generate a set of related documents. A system is provided that includes a textual analytics system that analyzes unstructured data contained in a source document and extracts a set of structured information about the source document; and a compare system that identifies a set of related documents by comparing the set of structured information with metadata indexed from a set of publications.

Abstract: A biological pathway is a series of actions that take place in an organism that lead to some resulting pathology or otherwise change the organism state. In the cell, these actions typically take place between molecules called proteins. Proteins within the cell interact in ways that are not fully understood, but evidence concerning these interactions is constantly being collected and published by microbiologists. The disclosed method automatically infers such biological pathways between proteins by looking at the overall system of published literature about those proteins.

Abstract: A vectorization process is employed in which chemical identifier strings are converted into respective vectors. These vectors may then be searched to identify molecules that are identical or similar to each other. The dimensions of the vector space can be defined by sequences of symbols that make up the chemical identifier strings. The International Chemical Identifier (InChI) string defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is particularly well suited for these methods.

Abstract: A list of potential licensees of a patent portfolio can be generated from a source patent portfolio. To identify the licensees, the source patent portfolio comprising, for example, all the patents owned by a particular entity, can be created. Next, a list of a set of patents that are related to or associated with the patents in the source patent portfolio is generated. The unlicensed assignees of patents in this set of related patents are organized according to various criteria. For example, the assignees could be ranked based on the ratio of total patents held by an assignee to the number of patents in the set of associated patents held by that assignee. Such rankings can provide an indication of assignees that may be potential licensees of the patents in the source patent portfolio.

Abstract: A computer-implemented technique for data access management system and providing access to information associated with legal cases including intellectual property cases. The data access management system allows individuals securing intellectual property rights to share data while ensuring that unauthorized access to data is not permitted. According to an embodiment of the present invention, techniques are provided for customizing data access per the user's needs.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating the patent preparation and filing process. The system and method of the present invention may integrate additional functionality such as automated docketing to further facilitate procurement of intellectual property.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for optical recognition of chemical graphics allows documents containing chemical structures to be optically scanned so that both the text and the chemical structures are recognized. The structures are converted directly into molecular structure files suitable for direct input into chemical databases, molecular modeling programs, image rendering programs and programs that perform real time manipulation of structures.
