In addition, even if the person who checks the scope of claims related to patents or utility model registrations is not familiar with the descriptions of claims related to patents or utility model registrations, he or she can quickly understand and confirm the citation relationships of the claims. be able to.

(Modification 1)
Modification 1 of Embodiment 1 will be described. Modification 1 will mainly describe the differences from the first embodiment.
In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 301 colors the portion of "Claim n" as wording indicating other claims cited in the dependent claims. However, the control unit 301 of Modification 1 may color only the part of claim "n" as wording indicating other claims cited in dependent claims.
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing another example of a patent or utility model claim in color. The document file 701 describes the scope of claims relating to patents or utility model registrations. Claim 1 (702) enclosed in square brackets is colored yellow, for example. Claim 2 (703) enclosed in square brackets is colored green, for example. Claim 3 (704) enclosed in square brackets is colored light blue, for example. Claim 4 (705) enclosed in square brackets is colored pink. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the wordings indicated by claim 1, claim 2, claim 3, etc. enclosed in brackets and indicated by claim n are colored differently.
In addition, the number part of the wording indicating other claims to be cited in claim 2, that is, the part 706 of claim "1" is the same color as that attached to claim 1 surrounded by square brackets. It is given the color yellow. Similarly, the numerical portion of the wording indicating other claims to be cited in claim 3, i.e., the portion 707 of claim "1", includes the color attached to claim 1 enclosed in square brackets. The same color, yellow, is given, and the wording 708 of claim "2" is given green, which is the same color as the color given to claim 2 enclosed in square brackets. Similarly, the numerical portion of the wording indicating other claims to be cited in claim 4, that is, the portion 709 of claim "3", includes the color and color attached to claim 3 enclosed in square brackets. Light blue, which is the same color, is added.
That is, in Modification 1, only the number of the wording indicating the other claim to be cited in the dependent claim is colored with the wording indicating the claim surrounded by the specific mark of the other claim to be cited. are given the same color as In a claim surrounded by a particular mark and a dependent claim, if the claim n portion is colored in the same manner, regardless of the presence or absence of the particular mark, it will be visually confusing to those unfamiliar with the claim. In general, it may be difficult to grasp how many claims there are in the scope of claims. Only the number of the wording of the other claim to be cited in the dependent claim is colored in the same color as the wording of the claim surrounded by the specific mark of the other claim to be cited. , the claims surrounded by a specific mark and the dependent claims are colored differently. It is possible to grasp how many there are and to grasp which claim in the scope of claims is cited.

(Modification 2)
Modification 2 of Embodiment 1 will be described. In Modification 2, differences from Embodiment 1 and Modification 1 will be mainly described.
FIG. 8 is an activity diagram showing an example of information processing relating to coloring of claims by the information processing apparatus 110 in Modification 2. As shown in FIG. When the control unit 301 of Modification 2 receives an operation such as starting a document creation application, the control unit 301 downloads a document file in which claims relating to patent or utility model registration are described from the server device 100 via the network 120, and downloads the document file. Alternatively, the display of the output unit 305 displays a screen of a document creation application that creates and/or edits a document file describing the claims relating to the utility model registration. The document creation application screen includes a document read button 901 in the toolbar set. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing another example of a palette.

At A801, the control unit 301 determines whether or not the read document button 901 has been selected. When the control unit 301 determines that the read document button 901 has been selected, the process proceeds to A802. When the control unit 301 determines that the read document button 901 has not been selected, the processing of A801 is repeated.
In A802, the control unit 301 reads the document file specified on the screen displayed after the document read button 901 is selected. For example, document files are stored in the storage unit 202 or the like. Claims relating to patents or utility model registrations described in the read document file are displayed in a predetermined editing area of the document creation application.
As another example, the document file may be stored in another device that can communicate with the information processing device 110 via the network 120 . Information processing device 110 and another device may be located at a distance. For example, the information processing device 110 may be a device installed in Japan, and the other device may be a device installed outside Japan. Here, "outside Japan" means a place other than Japan. The place other than Japan may be, for example, a foreign country, a place that does not belong to any country such as the South Pole, the North Pole, or the high seas, or space. In addition, other devices that can communicate with the information processing device 110 via the network 120 may be installed in countries or regions other than countries where rights protection is sought according to the description of the claims relating to this patent or utility model registration. good. For example, even if it is an information processing system including a server installed in a country or region other than the country where the right protection is sought according to the description of the claims related to this patent or utility model registration, and the information processing device of the present invention good.

In A803, the control unit 301 determines whether or not the palette button 902 of the toolbar set has been selected. When the control unit 301 determines that the palette button 902 has been selected, the process proceeds to A804. When the control unit 301 determines that the palette button 902 has not been selected, the processing of A803 is repeated.
At A804, the control unit 301 displays the palette 903 on the display of the output unit 305. FIG.
In A805, the control unit 301 determines whether or not the colored button 904 has been selected. When the control unit 301 determines that the colored button 904 has been selected, the processing proceeds to A806. If the control unit 301 determines that the colored button 904 has not been selected, it repeats the processing of A805.

In A806, the control unit 301 determines whether each of the wordings indicating a plurality of claims surrounded by specific marks of claims relating to patent or utility model registration in the document file read out in A802 is given a different color. determine whether or not A specific mark is, for example, a square bracket. Further, the wording indicating a claim surrounded by a specific mark is, for example, claim n in square brackets. If the control unit 301 determines that the color is added, the processing proceeds to A808. When the control unit 301 determines that the color is not added, the processing proceeds to A807.
In A807, the control unit 301 executes a process of giving a different color to each of the wordings indicating a plurality of claims surrounded by specific marks of claims relating to patent or utility model registration in the document file.

In A808, the control unit 301 specifies the color given to the wording of the claim surrounded by the specific marks of the other claims to be cited. In the example of modification 2, the specific marks are square brackets. The wording indicating a claim enclosed by a specific mark is the wording indicated by claim 1, claim 2, claim 3, etc. enclosed by square brackets and claim n.

In A809, the control unit 301 adds the other claim specified in A808 to the wording indicating the other claim to be cited in the dependent claim of the document file that describes the claims related to the patent or utility model registration. A process of coloring the wording of the claim surrounded by the specific mark of the claim with the same color as that of the wording is executed.

According to Modified Example 2, if each of the wordings indicating a plurality of claims surrounded by specific marks in the scope of claims relating to the patent or utility model registration of the read document file is not colored, the color , and the same color as the color attached to the wording indicating the claim surrounded by the specific mark of the other claim can be executed. Therefore, even for those who are unfamiliar with the scope of claims relating to patents or utility model registrations, the claims should be distinguished and displayed in an easy-to-understand manner, and which claim is citing which claim should be presented in an easy-to-understand manner. can do.

(Modification 3)
Modification 3 of Embodiment 1 will be described. In Modification 3, differences from Embodiment 1, Modification 1, and Modification 2 will be mainly described.
The control unit 301 of Modified Example 3 changes the color of the wording indicating the claim surrounded by the specific mark of the claims according to the user's operation, and changes the color of the wording indicating the claim in the dependent claim. to the same color. User operations include changing the color of claims surrounded by a specific mark, adding or deleting claims surrounded by a specific mark, and changing other claims that are cited. There are things to be done. For example, in FIG. 6, when the user presses the colored button 503 after changing the color of claim 1 (602) enclosed in square brackets from yellow to red, the wording 607 of "claim 1" can be changed to red, which is the same color as the color attached to claim 1 (602) enclosed in square brackets. Furthermore, the control unit 301, according to the user's instruction, once deletes the color attached to the wording indicating the claim surrounded by the specific mark of the claim related to the patent or utility model registration, and then reapplies the patent or utility model. It is possible to carry out a process of applying different colors to the wordings indicating the claims surrounded by the specific marks of the claims related to the registration of the new model, and changing the wordings indicating the claims in the dependent claims to the same color. For example, add/delete claims and change the cited claims after coloring the wording of a claim surrounded by a specific mark and the wording of other claims cited in a dependent claim. Then, the correspondence between the colors is once shifted. In that case, when a re-coloring instruction is given by a user operation, the color attached to the wording indicating the claim enclosed by the specific mark in the claim is changed, and the claim in the dependent claim is changed. It is also possible to execute a process of changing the wording indicating to the same color. This allows the user to grasp which claim of the claims relating to the latest patent or utility model registration is cited.

(Modification 4)
Modification 4 of Embodiment 1 will be described. In Modification 4, differences from Embodiment 1, Modification 1, Modification 2, and Modification 3 will be mainly described.
The control unit 301 of Modification 4 may execute the following creation method for creating a colorful specification (registered trademark) including claims related to patent or utility model registration.
That is, in the creation method, the control unit 301 changes the wording indicating the other claim to be cited in the dependent claim of the document file describing the claims related to the patent or utility model registration to the other claim to be cited. A colorful specification including a document file is created by executing a process of adding the same color to the wording indicating a claim surrounded by a specific mark. Here, different colors are attached to wordings indicating a plurality of claims surrounded by specific marks of the claims. Note that a document containing claims relating to patents or utility model registrations is called a colorful specification (registered trademark). However, the claims or utility model registration requests in which the wording of claim n (where n is a natural number of 2 or more) surrounded by specific marks included in the claims relating to patents or utility model registrations are colored differently. Only the range of can be called a colorful specification. In addition, a specification in which supporting portions corresponding to claims of claims or claims of utility model registration are colored in the same color as the claims may be referred to as a colorful specification. For example, the control unit 301 may also create a specification in which supporting portions corresponding to the claims or the claims of the utility model registration are colored in the same color as the claims.
In addition, a claim or a utility model registration request in which the wording of claim n (n is a natural number of 2 or more) surrounded by a specific mark included in the claims related to a patent or utility model registration is colored differently and a specification in which supporting portions corresponding to the claims in the scope of claims or in the scope of utility model registration are colored in the same color as the claims may be referred to as a colorful specification.
According to Modification 4, a colorful specification can be created.
