Patent technology lexicon system, method for establishing patent technology vocabulary and computer program product

The invention belongs to a patent technology lexicon system, a method for establishing a patent technical vocabulary and a computer program product.

With the attention of intellectual property rights, more and more companies or individuals have filed patent applications for the technological achievements they have developed in order to obtain patent protection and exclude others from improperly using their research and development results. When a company or an individual filed a patent application, usually the patent offices of each country require that they must write a patent specification and/or schema to fully expose the research and development content in order to obtain the patent right. In general, the public uses the disclosure of patent specifications and/or schemas to learn about the scope of patent rights on the one hand to avoid infringement; on the other hand, to understand the technical content to promote the development of the technology industry.

Therefore, the patent specification is not only a legal document necessary for obtaining a patent right, but also a technical document. According to the statistics of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the effective use of patent materials (including patent applications, patent specifications, drawings, etc.) can shorten the development time by 60% and save 40% of research and development costs. At the same time, the patent data contains 90-95% of research and development results, and more than 80% of the technologies disclosed in the patent materials do not appear in other technical literature. Therefore, if a company or individual can search for patent data at the beginning of the R&D activity, it will avoid the phenomenon of repeated research. Furthermore, pre-searching and reading patent materials can also avoid infringing on the patent rights of others, or can evade the design of others' patents.

In general, patent searchers usually use the name of the invention. The documents listed in the patent specifications such as the title, abstract, invention description, patent application scope, applicant, inventor, classification number, etc. are used to search the patent database to obtain the required patent materials. However, with the development of technology, the number of patent materials continues to increase, and the technical content it contains is becoming more and more complicated. For example, the US Patent and Trademark Office has accumulated more than 6 million patents to date. Therefore, if the individual field search is performed only by the items described in the above patent specification, too many patent materials (for example, more than 1000 pens) are usually obtained, which causes difficulty in manual reading and loses the meaning of the search. Therefore, it would be useful for patent searchers to establish a patented technical vocabulary for reference in search.

Therefore, it is really necessary to propose a patented technical lexicon system and method to solve the problems of the prior art.

In view of the problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a patented technical lexicon system, a method of establishing a patented technical vocabulary, and a computer program product.

The invention firstly provides a patented technical lexicon system, comprising: a computer device for obtaining each component word, each technical word and each important technical word in the patent specification; and a patent technology vocabulary for storing each component word and each technology Words and various important technical words.

In general, a "patent specification" is an instrument that should be prepared for a patent application. For example, Article 25, Item 1 of the Patent Law of the Republic of China stipulates that: "Application for a patent for invention shall be filed by the patent application holder with an application, specification and necessary drawings, and shall be applied to the patent agency"; Article 25, paragraph 3 : "Application for invention patent, the date of application, specification and necessary drawings is the filing date". The contents described in the "Patent Specification" are stipulated in Article 26, Paragraph 1 of the Patent Law: "Invention Name, Invention Description, Abstract and Patent Application Scope"; the implementation of the Patent Law further stipulates the invention or the new description, which shall state the following matters: : 1. The technical field to which the invention or new type belongs.

2. Prior art: Record the prior art known to the applicant and submit the relevant information of the prior art.

Third, the invention or new content: the invention or the new problem to be solved, the technical means to solve the problem and the effect of the prior art.

4. Embodiments: One or more inventions or novel embodiments are described, and if necessary, the embodiments are described; if there are drawings, they should be described with reference to the drawings.

V. Simple description of the schema: If there is a schema, the schema and its main component symbols should be explained in the order of the simplified text.

It can be seen that the "application for patent scope", "implementation method" and "component symbol" are the contents of the invention or the new patent application. The present invention establishes a patented technical vocabulary by using "application patent scope", "implementation method" and "component symbol".

It should be noted here that since the patent application documents of various countries in the world have been fairly consistent, the method for establishing a patented technical vocabulary of the present invention can also be applied to patent specifications in other countries or regions, instead of the Republic of China. The patent specification is limited.

In addition, the term "application patent scope" as used in the present invention is not limited to its literal meaning. Where the applicant states in the patent specification that he wishes to be covered by the patent, it is the scope of the so-called "claimed patent scope" of the invention, including but not limited to the "claims" of the Mainland China and the "Claims" of the United States or Other similar terms.

In the same manner, the "embodiment" of the present invention includes but is not limited to "Best Mode", "Embodiments", "Preferred Embodiments", "Detailed Description of Invention" (Detailed Description Of The Invention) or other similar terms, and not limited to the literal meaning of the "embodiment" as defined in the Republic of China Patent Law and its Regulations.

For convenience of explanation, the following is an example of a patent specification provided by the Intellectual Property Office of the Republic of China. The example can be obtained at http://www.tipo.gov.tw/patent/table/Sample_930701/01, invented Example 2.doc .

As shown in FIG. 3, the present invention first performs step S30 to obtain each component word in the patent specification, wherein each component word is a word having a corresponding component symbol in the patent specification.

In step S30, the present invention first obtains each component word. The meaning of "component word" is the corresponding component The word of the symbol. That is, the words corresponding to the component symbols mentioned in the specification are component words.

Taking the example of the above patent specification as an example, the content of the embodiment is as follows:

A preferred method of the invention is shown in FIG. Introducing perchloroethylene (PCE) and hydrogen fluoride (HF) into a reactor (not shown), preferably via a chlorination catalyst, to produce hydrogen chloride (HCl), hydrogen fluoride (HF), R125, and one or more A reactor product stream 1 of a variety of other halo halides such as R124 and R123. Typically, reactor product stream 1 contains unreacted HF greater than the amount of azeotrope in the stream.......................... .

According to the particular embodiment of Figure 2, the pre-product stream 23 contains a significant amount of HF which is lost in the subsequent process in subsequent acidification operations. The Applicant has learned that this feature of the prior art is undesirable for two reasons. First, the HF thus lost represents a valuable unreacted feed that cannot be used in the reaction. Second, there are disadvantages associated with the cost and inefficiency of this subsequent deacidification process. This method does not need to be..........................................

In this embodiment, the component symbols "1" and "23" appear. Therefore, the words "reactor product stream" corresponding to the component symbol "1" and the word "pre-product stream" corresponding to "23" are It is a component word of the present invention.

It should be noted here that the component symbols are usually Arabic numerals, but English, symbols or other symbols may be used as component symbols.

In general, the component symbol will appear in the main section in addition to the paragraph in the "Implementation" section of the patent specification. "Component symbol description". For example, taking the above-mentioned example of the Intellectual Property Office patent specification as an example, it describes the following contents of the "main component symbol description": [Main component symbol description] 1 reactor product stream 2 HCl-rich stream 3 intermediate stream 4 crude product stream 5 recycle stream

The symbol "1", "2", "3", "4", and "5" appear in the description of the main component symbols. Therefore, the words "reactor product flow" and "rich HCl" correspond to the respective component symbols. The flow, the "intermediate flow", the "crude product flow" and the "recycle flow" are the component words of the present invention.

Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, step S30 further includes step S301 and step S302. Wherein step S301 is to obtain each component word listed in the main component symbol description paragraph of the patent specification; step S302 is to obtain each component word listed in the embodiment of the patent specification.

Since the component symbols are generally Arabic numerals, in one embodiment of the present invention, when performing step S302, the present invention acquires the component symbols by taking the Arabic numerals appearing in the paragraphs of the embodiment.

In addition, since the word before the symbol is usually a component word, in one embodiment of the present invention, when the step is performed In S302, the present invention obtains each component word by taking each word of each component symbol prefix.

Furthermore, the Arabic numerals appearing in the paragraphs of the embodiments may not be component symbols, so when performing step S302, the present invention further performs the following exclusion rules to exclude Arabic numerals that are not component symbols: 1. Excluding non-positive integers of Arabic Numerals: Usually the symbol of a component is a positive integer, so the present invention can exclude Arabic digits of non-element symbols by excluding non-positive integers of Arabic numerals (for example, numbers having a decimal point or a negative number).

2. Excluding the Arabic numerals of the prefix embodiments, examples, examples, etc.: "Example 1", "Example 1", "Example 1" or other similar words appearing in the embodiment paragraph are only used to illustrate the examples. The number is not a component word; therefore, the present invention excludes Arabic numerals of non-component symbols by excluding Arabic numerals of non-prefixed embodiments, examples, examples, and the like.

3. Excluding Arabic numerals of prefix verbs, adverbs, prepositions or adjectives: Since the component words are usually nouns, the present invention excludes non-elements by excluding Arabic numerals of prefix verbs (such as Be verbs), adverbs, prepositions or adjectives. Symbolic Arabic numerals.

It should be noted that the above exclusion rules are merely illustrative, and the present invention is not limited to the above exclusion rules.

After obtaining the respective component words, the present invention proceeds to step S31 to obtain each technical word from each component word, wherein each technical word is a word appearing in the patent application scope of each patent word.

Since the patent scope is based on the scope of the patent application, the component words appearing in the scope of patent application should be considered as Applicants consider technical features that are meaningful to define their scope of rights. Therefore, the present invention obtains the words appearing in the scope of the patent application in the respective component words by the step S31, and defines the words as "technical words".

Next, the present invention proceeds to step S32, and each important technical word is obtained from each technical word, wherein each important technical word is a word of each technical word that appears in the independent part of the patent application scope of the patent specification.

Because separate items are more important than affiliates. From the application point of view, if an independent item is approved, all its subsidiary items will also be approved; in the case of infringement, if the independent item is infringed, all its subsidiary items will also be infringed. Therefore, the present invention obtains the words appearing in the independent items of the patent application in the respective component words by the step S32, and defines the words as "important technical words".

Finally, the present invention proceeds to step S33, and stores each component word, each technical word, and each important technical word in a patent technical vocabulary.

In this way, the patent searcher can further utilize the patented technical vocabulary provided by the present invention for further patent search or analysis.

In summary, the present invention is a breakthrough in terms of its purpose, means, and efficacy, both of which are distinct from the characteristics of conventional techniques. It is to be noted that the above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and its advantages, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Modifications and variations of the embodiments can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be as described in the appended claims.
