Abstract
Methods for analyzing prior art are presented. One method includes training a classifier based on a search query; accessing a plurality of prior art documents; performing a document classification technique on at least some of the prior art documents using the classifier; and outputting identifiers of at least some of the prior art documents based on the classification thereof. Methods for adapting a patent classification to a shift in document content are also presented. Methods for matching documents to claims are presented. Methods for classifying a patent or patent application are also presented. Methods for classifying a patent or patent application are also presented.

14. A method for adapting a patent classification to a shift in document content comprising:
-
receiving at least one labeled seed document; receiving unlabeled documents; training a transductive classifier using the at least one seed document and the unlabeled documents; classifying the unlabeled documents having a confidence level above a predefined threshold into a plurality of existing categories using the classifier; classifying the unlabeled documents having a confidence level below the predefined threshold into at least one new category using the classifier; reclassifying at least some of the categorized documents into the existing categories and the at least one new category using the classifier; and outputting identifiers of the categorized documents to at least one of a user, another system, and another process. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

25. A method for classifying a patent or patent application, comprising:
-
training a classifier based on a plurality of documents known to be in a particular patent classification; receiving at least a portion of a patent or patent application; performing a document classification technique on the at least the portion of the patent or patent application using the classifier; and outputting a classification of the patent or patent application, wherein the document classification technique is a yes/no classification technique. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29)
