First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- assembling a concept pool from claims mapped to concepts in patents of a patent pool, the patents of the patent pool, data representative of the concepts, and mappings of at least the claims of the patents in the patent pool to the concepts stored in a database;
receiving input related to concepts in the concept pool, the input designating at least one concept of the concept pool as irrelevant; and
removing a patent from the patent pool based on the received input when the received input designates at least one concept mapped to each claim of the patent as irrelevant.

5. A system comprising:
-
at least one processor, at least one memory device, and at least one data storage device; a database management system that stores and manages patent data, concept data, and mappings of the concept data to the patent data, including mappings of patent claims to concepts represented in the concept data, on the at least one data storage device; a searching unit held in the at least one memory device and executable by the at least one processor to; from the data stored and managed by the database management system, assemble a concept pool from patent claims mapped to concepts in patents of a patent pool; receive input related to concepts in the concept pool, the input designating at least one concept of the concept pool as irrelevant; and removing a patent from the patent pool based on the received input when the received input designates at least one concept mapped to each claim of the patent as irrelevant. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. A computer-readable storage medium, with instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a processor, cause a computer to perform a method comprising:
-
assembling a concept pool from claims mapped to concepts in patents of a patent pool, the patents of the patent pool, data representative of the concepts, and mappings of at least the claims of the patents in the patent pool to the concepts stored in a database; receiving input related to concepts in the concept pool, the input designating at least one concept of the concept pool as irrelevant; and removing a patent from the patent pool based on the received input when the received input designates at least one concept mapped to each claim of the patent as irrelevant. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
