The detailed contents for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The term patent management refers to the management of patent offices, patent offices, and patents for general companies, despite the names of experts, in the field of patent business, to manage the work entrusted to them.

The Patent Office Notice means various electronically notified notices, such as notices of submission of opinions and corrections regarding events delivered to applicants or agents through the electronic document notification system (aka patent) of the Republic of Korea, as shown in Figure 2 It usually includes a header file (H) and a compressed file (F) that compresses a number of electronic documents.

Computer refers to a device including a process, memory, storage device, communication device, input device, and display device despite the names of desktops, notebooks, tablets, and smartphones.

The patent office notification processing method of the present invention is a notification processing unit (1) that outputs a notification information display unit (12) and a path display panel (11) to display means in a computer device that processes patent management in connection with a database and performs processing commands. As a method of processing a notice of a patent office that executes after loading into a memory, a series of processing procedures shown in FIG. 1 are executed, and include steps (1) to (4).

The database may be composed of a local or remote DB server, and is usually composed of a remote DB server to be interworked with a user's client terminal through a network of the Internet or Internet.

The computer device that processes the patent management refers to a desktop, laptop, tablet, or smart phone on which a program for performing patent management is loaded and executed.

The series of processing procedures includes: (a) reading the paths of the notification header file and the notification compressed file designated by the notification processing unit 1 by the user and displaying them on the path display panel 11 (s1); (b) After parsing the notification header file H, information on the notification (recipient, related person, shipping number, shipping date, receiving date, deadline, case number, shipping document name) is displayed on the notification information display unit 12 And (s2) decompressing the notification compressed file, creating a folder for each compressed file, storing the extracted file in the folder, and displaying the paths of the stored files on the path display panel 11 (s2). ; (c) the information displayed on the notification information display unit 12 is stored in the event procedure table of the database, the key value (ID value) of the stored data is returned, and the information stored in the event procedure table is displayed. To step (s3); And (d) storing the file of the path in a folder corresponding to the key value in a file server in association with the returned key value (s4).

The case procedure table is a table included in the database to store and manage the contents of each process step (hereinafter referred to as a procedure) of the patent case currently in progress, as shown in Figure 7, ID, event type, Columns such as procedure name, event classification, application number, name/trademark, client name, timing, expiration, processing date, notification number, and other information may be configured in conjunction with the parent table event table. The above procedure name can be used by setting various procedure names such as application, notification of application, notice of submission of opinion, request for request, and registration decision.

The display means means various types of screen output means such as a monitor, a screen, and a tablet liquid crystal.

In the case of a notice including the submission due date, such as a written opinion or amendment, the expiration date should be entered and managed by the user in the database, and the method of processing the notice of the Korean Intellectual Property Office includes a process of automating it as shown in FIG. ,

The database further includes an expiry setting table for each procedure, and the expiry setting table for each procedure, an event procedure table, and the notification information display unit 12 each include a procedure-related key and an expiration column, and step (c). Includes additional processes of steps (c1) to (c6) below.

The step (c) includes: (c1) reading the value of the expiration column in the notification information display unit (s31); (c2) storing the expiration date value in the column if the expiration date value exists (s32); (c3) reading the value of the expiry column in the expiry setting table for each procedure if there is no expiration date value in the column (s33); (c4) storing the expiration date value in the expiry variable if the table has an expiration date value (s34); (c5) further comprising the step (s35) of processing the expiration variable as a blank when there is no expiration date value in the table, and (c6) including the value of the expiration variable to display the information displayed in the notification information display unit. It is characterized in that it is a step (s36) of storing in the event procedure table of the database, returning a key value of the stored data, and displaying the contents stored in the event procedure table on display means.

The expiry setting table for each procedure is to set the submission period of the opinion, the correction period, the notification period, and the period to be registered after registration decision. It is divided into days and months, and each day, month, etc. are set in advance. It is a table to store.

The procedure-related key refers to a key for a received document to link the case procedure table with the expiration table for each procedure or the notification information display unit 12, and usually uses a procedure name as a key or a separate code to be used as a key. It might be. This embodiment is an example in which the procedure name is used as a key.

3 to 8 show an embodiment of a computer screen to explain the process in which the process of steps (a) to (d) is in progress.

When the notice is received through the patent office document sending system, the file is stored in a specific folder D as shown in FIG. The files include a header file (H) and a compressed file (F).

As shown in FIG. 4, the user simultaneously opens the notification processing unit 1 including the path display panel 11 and the notification list display unit 12 and the specific folder (directory) D, and drags a file or opens a dialog box. You can open the notification files by selecting the file. When the file is opened through this, the notification processing unit 1 reads the paths of the notification header file and the notification compressed file designated by the user, and performs step (a) of displaying them on the path display panel 11.

Next, when the user performs a decompression execution command (clicking the decompression button, etc.), as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the notification header file H is parsed and information about the notification (recipient, related person, shipping number) , Sending date, receiving date, deadline, case number, and sending document name) are displayed on the notice information display unit 12, the compressed file of the notice is decompressed, a folder for each compressed file is created (EF), and the folder is recalled. Step (b) of storing the extracted file and displaying the paths of the stored files on the path display panel 11 is performed.

Next, when the user performs a final confirmation command (such as clicking a save button), the information displayed on the notification information display unit 12 is stored in the event procedure table of the database, and the key value (ID value) of the stored data is returned. Receiving, and performing the step (c) of the contents stored in the event procedure table to the display means, and displays the result (O) as shown in FIG.

The procedure for storing the file in the file server is almost the same as in step (c), and in step (d), the file of the path is stored in a folder corresponding to the key value in the file server in conjunction with the returned key value. do.

The patent office notice processing method is implemented as a computer program and stored and installed in a computer storage device to realize functions, and is stored and stored in a computer-readable medium such as a USB, external hard drive, CD, or network transmission medium. It will be able to be distributed and, of course, the rights of the present invention will extend to these media.
