Patent search service method using internet {Patent search service method using internet}

The present invention relates to a method for providing a patent search service on-line using the Internet. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for providing a patent search service using the Internet that provides various additional services in addition to the basic search service to efficiently search for prior patents. It is about.

Today, securing industrial property rights is closely related to the competitiveness of a company. Often a new product is developed without knowing the existence of a prior patent right, and it often leads to patent disputes or excessive royalty payments, which leads to management's failure to give up the new product.

We are living in the so-called 'era of patent war', where the availability of valid industrial property rights determines the success or failure of the business.

In order to survive in the environment of the patent war, it is necessary to establish a comprehensive patent strategy for promising products. It is urgently needed to prevent patent disputes in advance, and to prepare measures to reduce royalties through independent development of related core technologies and patent avoidance design.

In an effort to meet these demands, a thorough analysis of industrial property rights on related technologies and the determination of the direction of technology development based thereon are required. The analysis may include information on the existence of preceding source patent rights, the possibility of avoiding the source patent rights, and trends in technological development of competitors.

As mentioned above, a search for prior patents should be performed to confirm the existence of prior industrial property rights, that is, prior patents.

In the prior art search according to the prior art, if a searcher accesses an internet site providing a patent search service (for example, http://www.kipris.or.kr) and inputs a search keyword for the prior patent search, Prior patents related to search keywords are searched in the patent publications, so that the searcher can scroll through the basic bibliographic contents and representative drawings of the desired patent.

Here, the prior patent searched in relation to the search keyword includes the basic bibliographic content of the application number, the applicant, the inventor, and the like included in the patent publication, and the entire document such as the summary and the claims.

However, since the prior patent search according to the prior art is provided only information included in the patent publication, it is difficult for ordinary people without expertise in the patent to determine whether the searched prior patent is the information to be searched, and when there are many searched prior patents After clicking each patent one by one, you should check the abstract and drawings of the invention and check whether it is the patent information you want. In order to re-search, you have to go back to the initial search screen and re-enter additional keywords. There was a problem that can not be retrieved.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the object of the present invention is to provide a variety of additional services (additional bibliographic information, analysis services, etc.) in addition to the basic search service to understand the prior patent searched The present invention provides a method for providing a patent search service using the Internet which enables efficient retrieval of prior patents, since it is possible to re-search within the results of patents by increasing the number of patent information by grouping the criteria.

When the 'storage storage' is selected in the bibliographic information screen, the patent search server selects a folder of the cabinet storage after the searcher login, stores the patent in the selected folder, and when the 'view cabinet' is selected, the patent search server The patent list stored in the cabinet is sent to the screen of the searcher's terminal so that the searcher selects a desired menu among 'image down', 'image print', 'text down', and 'selected patent collective view' of the patent, and the cabinet The function utilizes separate cabinet folder space by ID to automatically remove duplicates when storing the same patent in one folder, and to easily manage patents by moving data between folders. It provides a download function.

When 'Family / legal status collective view' is selected on the bibliographic information screen, the patent search server searches the basic bibliographic information of the selected patent, displays the patent country and patent number, and retrieves bibliographic details of the family patent from INPADOC DB. It provides the legal status codes and code descriptions of all family patents.

If any one of the basic / field / step / number search keyword is selected, the patent search server searches the customer propensity data of the keyword in the customer analysis DB, and uses the most used country, document type, search period, search term, search field, and output. Basic search conditions such as items are sent to the searcher terminal.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is an overall configuration diagram of a patent search system using the Internet of the present invention, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the entire system of a patent search server according to the present invention, the present invention is a searcher terminal 10 and a patent search server 20 It is configured to include.

The searcher terminal 10 is connected to the patent search server 20 through the Internet to register the basic information (name, member ID, password, email address, mobile phone number, etc.) of the searcher to join the membership, all the web As a result of searching and confirming a result, a basic communication protocol such as TCP / IP is provided to receive patent information from the patent search server 20.

The patent search server 20 is a searcher inputs a search keyword through the searcher terminal 10 and selects an operator for the plurality of search keywords entered, the searcher understands the patent for all the search results searched for additional information In addition to the basic bibliographic information to provide a variety of additional services, including a search service management unit 30, an additional service management unit 40, an analysis service management unit 50 and a translation service management unit 60, Search DB (21), Patent DB (22), INPADOC DB (23), Individual Country DB (24), Bibliography DB (25), PRS DB (26), Citation DB (27), Member DB (28), Customer Analysis Global database of patents including DB (29) (public publication of Korea, Korean registration, US registration, US publication, EP-A, EP-B, Japan publication Japan publication, Japan publication, INPADOC Family, INPADOC Legal Status information, etc.) Is building.

The customer analysis DB 29 analyzes the basic subscription information (subscription information analysis data) and search usage log (search log analysis data) of the searcher, the most searched country, the most searched document type, the most searched search It saves the section, the output items used for everyday use, the most searched search terms and search fields, the name of the applicant in the company's patent bibliography, and the IPC matched with the business type. Collected, deleted and updated from time to time.

Here, the search keyword uses a search word such as an application number, a publication number, a registration number, an index word, and the operator uses AND, OR, XOR, NOT, and the like.

In addition, the patent search server 20 is a patent search engine that integrates and builds a worldwide patent integrated database in WIPS so that it can be searched on the web. Korea, the United States, Japan, Europe, and INPADOC patents were configured to enable integrated search, and the initial search for the search DB (21), patent documents, periods and other restrictions to find the desired patent quickly and easily.

In addition, the patent search server 20 is the addition of new DB data, such as INPADOC Legal, US publication, EP-B, Japan publication, Japan re-publishing and professional data addition, Korean publication, Korean registration, US registration, US publication, Data such as EP-A, EP-B, and Japanese published (specialized keywords) were divided into "Surge + Summary + Claim 1 (Front Page + Representative Claim)" and "All Documents" to be selected according to the search purpose.

In addition, the patent search server 20 has added a bibliographic field, expand the search target item, number format unification (priority right, etc.) to strengthen the link information between patents, and assigned a unique WIPS management number, which is a number for integrated WIPS total data management. .

In order to strengthen the linkage of each patent data, it is possible to link the data between INPADOC data including legal information and the data of individual stations, including the patent bibliography of 71 countries, major bibliography, and individual station DB (24) and INPADOC DB (23) according to the purpose. By selecting and searching, sharing and retrieving the necessary data after the search result, the family information and the claims of each country can be checked with a single search. It is possible to search by language to solve the inconvenience of repeatedly searching the same keyword to search for patents in various countries of the world, and advanced searchers often search by restricting certain fields. The field of meaning is unified to enhance the convenience of integrated search.

The search service management unit 30 of the patent search server 20 allows a searcher to search for patents and view a list of searched patents, and then check basic bibliographic information of each case. There are four search methods, 'number search' and 'step search', and it provides 'search result list', 'surge information and representative drawings'.

The 'basic search' is used when the input condition is relatively simple and the main keyword is searched by simply inputting the main keyword, and the 'field search' requires a more detailed search than the 'basic search' (appeal or invalidity). Data, etc.) and search by entering the desired search query correctly.

The 'number search' is used to collect a patent data by searching a plurality of specific patent number or to collect a plurality of patent numbers and search the entire original image and text data by using a cabinet after searching.

The 'STEP search' is used to search while reducing the scope of the search step by step or to recombine keyword groups (search results). When searching in a relatively new field (number of technical fields to find) Is difficult to predict), when the technical field is limited according to the subjects to be reviewed, when the number of detailed technologies is to be identified based on the basic technology, and when a specific technical field is searched while changing to several applicable fields. In the case of the existing search methods (general search, field search), it is possible to solve the trouble of frequently modifying the search expression while expanding / reducing the search range.

The basic bibliographic information includes the country of application, type of document, name and application number of the invention, application date, publication number, publication date, registration number, registration date, applicant, inventor, agent, examiner, IPC, summary of invention, priority number, etc. Contains a list of legal status and family patents retrieved from INPADOC.

The 'search result list' uses the rearrangement function of each item of the search results to determine the approximate distribution of patents, and when the review of patents focusing on drawings, the original text view function is immediately used without retrieving detailed details. 'Search Results List-1', which enables online application for prior information search, and easy re-adjustment of search formulas and changes of DB after search, storage of search formulas if the results are suitable for the purpose, country / application date appearing in search results Patent search items such as /.../ name are arbitrarily selected according to the searcher's purpose, and include 'search result list-2' which enables the number of search result patent lists to be changed.

In addition, the 'search result list' is classified into IPCs by using the IPC matched with the applicant's name and industry in the patent bibliography of the company to display patents filed in the searcher's business and the same industry at the top of the 'search result list'. The patents filed by the searcher's company are also displayed at the top of the search result list.

The additional service management unit 40 provides various additional services in addition to the 'basic bibliographic information', 'additional bibliographic information', 'patent text', 'storage search', 'cabinet', 'selective patent package view', 'Patent download', 'Family / legal status collective view', 'Patents prioritizing this patent' services.

The 'additional bibliographic information' includes claims, detailed descriptions, other references, background / summary, drawings, forward references, foreign references, etc. that are not provided in the 'basic bibliographic information'.

The 'patent text' provides 'basic bibliographic information', drawings, and 'additional bibliographic information' of the patent in the form of a complete patent text, and the WIPS search server uses a self-produced 'PIView' to search the original text. .

The 'save search formula' is to increase the convenience of the search by storing the search formula of the technical field that is subject to review continuously and reuse it if necessary so that the search expression input by the searcher can be reused later. Expression folder space "can be used, and partial and all data can be deleted collectively.

The 'cabinet function' is to divide the folder searched by the searcher by the subject and store the folder and reuse it later. In the cabinet, the stored patent can be moved and deleted, and the folder can be modified and deleted. The searcher can reuse the patent stored in the cabinet at any time, and can use functions such as 'download patent' and 'select patent batch'.

In addition, the cabinet uses separate cabinet folder space for each ID, automatically removes duplicates when storing the same patent in one folder, and facilitates patent management by moving data between folders. Cabinet-2 with batch data delete, image and text batch download functions.

The 'selective patent package view' is a function that allows users to scroll through the basic bibliographic details and representative drawings of the patents selected by the searcher on one screen.

The 'patent download' refers to the patents searched by the searcher for each item of the patent, designated by the searcher and downloaded in various file formats, and works on the searcher's searcher terminal 10 (PC) or patent map (PM; Patent Map). It is used to modify the basic data at the time of writing. The provided file formats are Text, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, and .pmd files for use in PM Manager of Whipps.

The 'family / legal status collective view' provides bibliography of all INPADOC family patents related to the patent on one screen, showing the legal status of all family patents on one screen or providing legal status codes and code descriptions. .

'Patents prioritizing this patent' overcomes the limitation that the limitations of the INPADOC family can be found only for patents listed in the INPADOC DB (23), and the searcher can register in the INPADOC DB (23) through this function. Instead, families can be inquired about patents filed by individual countries.

The INPADOC DB 23 moves to the corresponding country's bibliographic data, priority patent inquiry, legal status, family patent list (provided two types), original image button, and indicates that the current data is bibliographic data of INPADOC DB 23 data. do.

The analysis service management unit 50 is to provide meaningful information to searchers by analyzing a plurality or single patents, 'clustering', 'citation analysis',' related application analysis (Related Application Analysis) Service the PM Manager.

The 'clustering' is to re-search within the results of a patent by grouping the patent information existing in a columnar form for a search word by criteria such as keywords, applicants, IPCs, etc. By checking trends and distributions by / applicant / IPC / date, we can grasp the technical trends by keyword, applicant, IPC, and date.

The 'quotation analysis' is a function that divides patent reference data into backward and forward, and allows a searcher to find useful patents in a vast reference material through a simple search expression, which is a text mode. And Visual Mode.

The related application analysis collects related application information of a US patent and provides the texts and visual modes in order to easily understand related cases filed in classification, continuity, and part-by-part continuity.

The 'PM manager' is a WIPS PM authoring tool developed to help create a patent map (PM) by providing various analysis functions using the WIPS patent data file downloaded through the 'Patent download'.

The translation service management unit 60 translates the summaries, claims, and detailed descriptions of the Japanese patents into Korean in real time so that Koreans can easily understand the Japanese patents.

Hereinafter, the operation and effect of the patent search service providing method using the Internet configured as described above will be described.

3 is a flow chart showing the overall algorithm of the patent search service using the Internet of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the main screen of the patent search system of the present invention. In FIG. 3, S denotes a step. Display.

First, the homepage (website; www2.wips.co.) of the patent search server 20 provided by the searcher (member or non-member) from the service provider WIPS through the Internet using his or her searcher terminal 10. kr) (S10).

The patent search server 20 determines whether the searcher connected through the Internet is a registered member (S20), if the registered member (YES) the member number in the member number input box located on the web browser searcher terminal 10; For example, the user inputs through the keyboard, and the input member number information is transmitted to the patent search server 20. (S30)

If you are not a registered member (N0), register your membership information (name, member ID, password, address, age, occupation, education, marital status, etc.) according to the prescribed registration procedure and register as a member before searching for patent information. And, the member information is stored in the member DB 28 of the patent search server 20. (S21)

When the member number is input through the searcher terminal 10, the patent search server 20 compares the member number input from the searcher terminal 10 with the number stored in the member DB 28 to determine whether the member number is identical. S40)

If the member numbers match (YES), the patent search server 20 searches the customer propensity data in the customer analysis DB 29, and the search target country, document type, search period, search term, search field, It imports the output items and sets the corresponding country on the search screen, and sets the document type, search period, search term, search field, output items, etc. (S42, S44).

The searcher may use the default search condition through his search log or may change the search partly or in full.

At this time, if the country is arbitrarily changed, the customer analysis DB 29 is re-reviewed to reset the document type, search period, search term, search field, and output items corresponding to the authorities.

As described above, when the search basic option is automatically set by querying the customer propensity data, the patent search server 20 sends the WIPS patent information search main screen shown in FIG. 4 to the searcher terminal 10 (S50).

Accordingly, the searcher starts the patent information search by selecting any one of four search methods such as 'basic search', 'field search', 'number search', and 'step search' provided on the main screen of patent information search. (S60)

When a searcher selects 'basic search' among four search methods such as 'basic search', 'field search', 'number search' and 'step search', the method of providing patent information search service will be described.

5 is an operation flowchart for providing a basic search service in the patent search system according to the present invention, FIG. 6 is a view showing an example of a basic search keyword input screen according to the present invention, and FIG. 7 is a basic search of the present invention. Fig. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a setting operation for a search when 'Korea' is selected as a service, and Fig. 8 is a view showing an example of a patent search result list screen of the present invention, and Figs. 9 to 17 are respective search target countries in Fig. 5. Flowchart of setting operation for search when is selected.

Basic search

When the searcher selects 'Basic Search' in the patent information search main screen of FIG. 4 sent to the searcher terminal 10 (S1000 of FIG. 5), the patent search server 20 provides a customer inclination in the customer analysis DB 29. While searching the data and automatically setting the search condition (basic option) (S1002, S1004) according to the selected search information transmitted from the searcher terminal 10, the basic search keyword input screen shown in FIG. (S1010 in Fig. 5).

Therefore, the searcher selects any one of the search target countries of " individual country / integrated search (Korean) / integrated search (English) ”provided in the basic search keyword input screen (S1020 of FIG. 5).

The target countries for search are multiple countries by individual countries (Korea, USA, Japan, China, EP, PCT (WO), Europe, INPADOC) or language (Korean and English) through integrated search.

If the searcher selects 'Korea' from the individual countries (S1100 of FIG. 7), one of the patent documents of “public patent / public practice / registered patent / registered utility / all” provided in the basic search keyword input screen of FIG. The above is selected. (S1110 of FIG. 7)

The patent literature selection can be divided into public room and registered room according to the patent system of the country to be searched, and then select whether to search the search term in the entire document or only in the bibliography + summary + claim 1 section. (S1120 in Fig. 7).

If you select a patent document (eg full) and a search range (eg full document) for the country you are searching for (eg Korea), you can select "previous 1979/1980 ~ 1989" / 1990 ~ 1994/1995 ~ 1999/2000 ~ present "to designate and select a search section. (S1130 in Fig. 7).

Subsequently, the search term for the search term is specified. By default, 'All Items' is provided, but about 30 or more search items such as "Name + Summary + Representative Claim / Invention / Representative Claim / IPC / Applicant /" Can be selected and specified. (S1140 in Fig. 7)

After setting the search in steps S1100 to S1140, if a user inputs a search word and selects (clicks) a 'Search' button, the patent search server 20 searches the search engine in the search DB 21. The corresponding patent is analyzed and the 'search result list' as shown in FIG. 8 is transmitted to the screen of the searcher terminal 10. (S1150 to S1170 of FIG. 7)

The search result list shown in FIG. 8 uses the reordering function of each item of the search result to grasp the distribution of the approximate patent, and immediately uses the original text viewing function without retrieving the detailed history when reviewing the patent based on the drawing. It is possible to apply for the sack and preliminary information online, to easily adjust the search formula after the search and to change the DB, to save the search formula if the search results meet the purpose, the country / application date / name appearing in the search results, etc. The patent bibliographic item can be arbitrarily selected according to the searcher's purpose, and the number of search result patent lists can be varied, and the IPC matched with the applicant's name and the business type according to the company's patent bibliography is classified into IPC. Patents applied in the industry are displayed, and patents filed by the searcher's company are also displayed at the top of the 'search result list'.

In addition, when one or more (multiple) patents are selected from the 'search result list' illustrated in FIG. 8, the clustering function for classifying and viewing the selected patents may be used, and the corresponding patents may be stored in a cabinet. Each item can be downloaded and stored, and the basic bibliography and representative drawings of the patent can be viewed with the 'selective patent package view'.

Accordingly, the searcher can view the patent information of the technical field to be searched by selecting one or more (one or more) corresponding patents displayed in the 'search result list' of FIG. 8 and clicking the corresponding numbers or titles. The detailed service providing method for the bibliographic information of the patent will be described later with reference to FIGS. 52A to 52.

Next, in step S1020 of FIG. 5, the search target country is selected as 'US' among the individual countries (S1200 in FIG. 9), and then the patent of "Public / Registration / All" provided in the basic search keyword input screen of FIG. Select one or more of the documents (S1210 in FIG. 9).

The selection of patent documents can be divided and searched according to the patent system of the country to be searched. Then, the user can select whether the search term is to be found in the entire document or only in the front page + representative claim. (S1220 of FIG. 9)

If you select a patent document (e.g. full) and a search range (e.g. full document) for the country you are searching for (e.g., the United States), you can choose to specify the search interval based on the document year of the patent. Proceeding to step S1130 of FIG. 7, the operation of step S1130 or less is repeated.

Next, in step S1020 of FIG. 5, the search target country is selected as 'Japan' among the individual countries (S1300 in FIG. 10), and then " public patent / public utility / registration utility / provided in the basic search keyword input screen of FIG. PAJ "is selected one or more of the patent documents (S1310 in Fig. 10).

After selecting a patent document (e.g., a public patent) for a country to be searched (e.g., Japan), proceed to step S1120 in FIG. 7 to select a search range (e.g., an entire document). The following operation is repeated.

Next, in step S1020 of FIG. 5, the search target country is selected as 'China' among the individual countries (S1400 in FIG. 11), and then the designated search section provided in the basic search keyword input screen of FIG. 6 is designated. The process proceeds to step S1130 and repeats the operation of step S1130 or less.

Next, in step S1020 of FIG. 5, the search target country is selected as 'EP' among the individual countries (S1500 in FIG. 12), and then " EP-A / EP-B / " One or more of the patent documents of "All" is selected. (S1510 in Fig. 12)

If selected, the patent search server 20 transmits a screen for viewing the 'basic bibliographic information' of the patent selected in the patent DB 22 to the searcher terminal 10. (S10600 ~ S10700)

Basic bibliographic information includes the country of application, type of document, name and application number of the invention, application date, publication number, publication date, registration number, registration date, applicant, inventor, agent, examiner, IPC, summary of invention, priority number, etc. You can view the list of legal status and family patent inquiries.

When the searcher selects 'view original' on the 'basic bibliographic information' screen (S10800), the 'open / save' selection screen of file download is transmitted to the searcher terminal 10.

At this time, if the searcher selects 'open', the original text of the selected patent is sent to the searcher terminal 10. If the searcher selects 'save', the original text of the selected patent is stored in the selected folder, and then the screen returns to the 'basic bibliographic information' screen. (S10820 ~ S10830)

If the searcher selects 'cabinet storage' in the 'basic bibliographic information' screen of step S10700 (S10900), the patent search server 20 sends the searcher login screen through the searcher terminal 10, and the searcher searches. When the user logs in through the mobile terminal 10 (S10910), the patent search server 20 transmits the folder selection screen of the cabinet storage through the searcher terminal 10.

When the searcher selects a folder through the searcher terminal 10, the patent search server 20 stores the corresponding patent in a selected folder (S10920) and displays the screen of the searcher terminal 10 in the 'basic bibliographic information' screen. (S10700 in Fig. 52A).

Subsequently, when the searcher selects 'cabinet view' on the 'basic bibliographic information' screen of step S10700 (S11000), the patent search server 20 transmits the patent list stored in the cabinet to the screen of the searcher terminal 10. (S11100)

Therefore, the searcher selects the desired patent from the patent list sent to the searcher terminal 10 (S11200), and then selects a desired menu among 'image down', 'image print', 'text down', and 'selected patent collective view'. You can select (S11300 ~ S11600).

If the searcher selects the 'image down' button in the menu, the process returns to step S10810 and repeats the operation of step S10810 or less.

When the searcher selects the 'image print' button among the menus, the process returns to step S10810 and repeats the operation of step S10810 or less.

When the searcher selects the 'select patent batch view' button among the menus, the patent search server 20 transmits the selected patent batch view screen shown in FIG. 53 to the searcher terminal 10 (S11610) in step S11100. The screen returns to the list of patents stored in the cabinet.

The 'selective patent package view' function can be viewed by scrolling the basic bibliographic details and representative drawings of the patents selected by the searcher on one screen.

The 'cabinet' function allows the searcher to divide the searched patents into folders for each subject and save them for reuse later. In the cabinet, the stored patents can be moved and deleted, and the folder can be modified and deleted. The searcher can reuse the patent stored in the cabinet at any time, and can use functions such as downloading and batch view of the selected patent.

At this time, if the searcher selects 'close' without selecting any menu, the search returns to the 'basic bibliographic information' screen of step S10700.

Next, a description will be given of a service providing method of the 'selective patent package view', which can be viewed while scrolling the basic bibliographic contents and representative drawings of the searched patents on one screen.

Family / legal status batch view

When the searcher selects the 'family / legal status collective view' button on the selected patent 'basic bibliographic information' screen of step S10700 (S12000), the patent search server 20 sets the key-value of the selected patent (management number for whips) By querying the basic bibliographic details of the patent in the INPADOC DB (23) to display the country and patent number of the patent on the top of the screen of the searcher terminal 10, as shown in Figure 58, the INPADOC DB (23) We look for family. (S12010-S12040)

If the deduplication option is selected (S12050), the patent search server 20 removes duplicates of patent documents divided into public-registered-notifications, etc. in the patent DB (22), and retrieves only recent documents. (S12050-S12060)

The bibliography of the patents is repeatedly obtained from the INPADOC DB (23) for the retrieved patent family. If the option to include the family list is selected, the priority information of the family is searched, and the number of countries and patents in which the family is distributed is searched. It is calculated and displayed at the top of the screen as shown in FIG. 58, and the family list is shown in a table form. (S12070 to S12100)

Then, if you look up the bibliographic information, and selected the option to include the legal status, the patent search server (20) inquires the legal status through the PRS DB (26) to provide the process with the basic bibliographic information as shown in Figure 58 for each Repeat for each family. (S12110 ~ S12140)

Next, when reference is made in the step S5200 of FIG. 33 described above, reference materials of registered patents are divided into backwards and forwards, and a simple search expression is used to find patents useful to searchers in a vast reference data. A method of providing a service of 'Text Mode Analysis' for allowing a text to be described will be described with reference to FIGS. 59 to 60.

59A to 59D are flowcharts illustrating a method of providing a citation patent analysis (Text Mode) service according to the present invention, and FIG. 60 is a diagram illustrating an example of a citation patent analysis (Text Mode) screen according to the present invention.

If you click the count in the Citation result table, the registered registration number, depth, and search term are delivered to the Citation analysis engine, and the list of the relevant cases is brought to the right side of the screen by bringing the list of cases that meet the conditions from the Citation DB (27). (S55000 ~ S55040)

You can select one or more (multiple) patents from the list of results on the right, and use clustering, downloads, and cabinets as additional services (S56000 ~ S56050).

Next, a service providing method of finding a family in a patent held will be described.

FIG. 61 is a schematic diagram for finding a family in a patent search system using the Internet of the present invention, and FIG. 62 is a flowchart illustrating the entire operation of a family search method in a patent search system using the Internet according to the present invention.

First, when the searcher requests family information search through the searcher terminal 10, the searcher retrieves the family data from the patents of each country that have the patent information as a reference (S30000 ~ S30002).

Subsequently, the patents corresponding to the family are searched for in the patents of each country and the information is searched or the priority information of the family patent is retrieved, and the distribution of the family patent is displayed in the picture based on the priority information. (S30003 ~ S30005)

FIG. 63 is a flowchart illustrating a method of searching for a family in each of the patents held in FIG. 61. FIG. 64 is a flowchart illustrating a method of searching for information by searching for a patent corresponding to a family in each of the patents in FIG. 61. .

First, a patent with the same priority information and application information of the inputted patent is applied to the Korean patent DB 24-1, the Japanese patent DB 24-2, the US patent DB 24-3, and the EP patent DB 24-4. , Patents such as WO patent DB (24-5), Chinese patent DB (24-6), GPAT patent DB (24-7), INPADOC DB (23), and found (S30010 ~ S30013) family patents (24-1), after finding in the US patent DB (24-3) ...., the remaining family patents not found in each country patent in the INPADOC DB (23) to query the information. (S30020 ~ S30022)

FIG. 65 is a flowchart illustrating a method of drawing a distribution of family patents based on priority information in FIG. 61.

First, a patent with the same priority information and application information of an input patent is found in a Korean patent, a US patent, and an INPADOC DB 23 to generate a temporary table 20-1 (#Family), and a patent such as a found family is a Korean patent. After finding in the US patent ...., the remaining family patents not found in each country patent is found in the INPADOC DB 23 to generate a temporary table 20-2 (@ATBL) corresponding to the patent information as a reference. (S30030 ~ S30032)

At this time, the reference patent number is stored in the temporary table 20-1 (#Family), and the number of repetitions is counted to find a patent having the same priority information and application information of the inputted patent until 32 times. A patent whose priority information and priority information of the viewed or inputted patent is the same is searched for, and a patent DB 22 searches for a patent having the same application information and priority information of the inputted patent.

When the number of repetitions reaches 32, all patents held in the patent DB 22 and the patent information stored in the temporary tables 20-1; #Family and 20-2; The distribution of patents is presented graphically based on priority information.

Next, we will explain how to provide a service of 'Related Application' that provides the relationship between the parent patent and sub-patent in text form and visual form by examining patent groups for patents that are continuously applied, divided applications, and partially applied patents. .

FIG. 66 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing a Related Applications service according to the present invention. FIG. 67 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen for providing a Related Applications service of FIG. 66.

First, the patent group for the continuous application, divisional application, and partial patent application of the WIPS patent unique key is found in the US DB 24-3 to create a temporary table 20-1 (#Family), and the found patent group The same patent is found to generate a temporary table 20-3 (@TMP_WKEY) corresponding to the patent information. (S40030 to S40032)

At this time, the reference number is stored in the temporary table 20-1 (#Family), (S40033) by counting the number of repetitions until the 32 times the number of the patent application patents entered in the public patent or entered Search for other patents that use the parent patent of the patent for which the patent has been filed, and find a patent (the divided patent) that uses the input patent as the parent of the patent, as shown in FIG. 67 in US DB 24-3. .

When the number of repetitions reaches 32, all patents held in the US DB 24-3, patent information stored in the temporary table 20-1; #Family, and 20-3; @TMP_WKEY are searched. It provides the distribution of family patents on a US patent basis.

As described above, according to the method for providing a patent search service using the Internet according to the present invention, in addition to the basic search service, various additional services (additional bibliographic information, analysis service, translation service, etc.) are provided to search for a preceding patent. Improved understanding and grouping of patent information by criteria enables re-searching in the results of patents, so that the prior patents can be efficiently searched.

In addition, the searcher divides and saves the searched patents in folders by subject, and allows the patents stored in the cabinet to be reused at any time for easy information management of the searched patents, and makes a bibliography of all INPADOC family patents related to the patents. It is effective to make it easy to check the family / legal status of the patent by providing it on the screen.

In addition, patents that prioritize this patent allow the family to search for patents filed in individual countries without being listed in INPADOC, thereby overcoming the limitations of the INPADOC family. It is effective to provide the function of citation patent analysis (Text Mode: CATM) so that searchers can find useful patents in a huge reference material through a simple search expression.
