Abstract:

A patentability search and analysis system can, based on a submission, perform a patentability search that finds prior art relevant to the submission. An example system can operate to indicate the relevancy of prior art documents discovered in the search, and categorize the art. The system can determine a patentability indicator (e.g., a patentability score) representative of the likelihood that a patent will be granted on a patent application representative of the submission. The system can, based on an analysis of filed patent applications, provide rejection and allowance rates for the claims of those applications having a similar patentability indicator value to that of the patentability indicator. The rejection and allowance rates can be for the patent office as a whole, the art unit, or the examiner. Additionally, the system can provide a “confidence level” representative of the strength of the patentability indicator.
