Semantic Segmentation and Tagging and Advanced User Interface to Improve Patent Search and Analysis
First Claim
1. A method for semantic segmentation and tagging of a patent claim, the method comprising:
- using natural language processing algorithms to semantically analyze and segment the claim into a plurality of tagged segments;
providing a user interface for viewing the natural language processing based segments and tags;
modifying or editing the natural language processing based segments and tags into user preference based segments and tags;
saving the edited segments and tags for subsequent retrieval by a computer system or users.

Abstract
A new method for semantic segmentation and tagging of a patent or a technical document is provided. The semantic tags are used for search and display of patents. The semantic tagging method involves creating automatic tags for preamble, elements, and sub-elements, and their respective attributes and relationships in patent claims. The tags are used in patent search to improve search performance. The tags are used in a novel user interface for viewing and analyzing one or more patents. The user interface provides a unique method to display different tags of a patent, which provides critical information towards comprehending the patent, and helps create better search queries related to the patent.

9. A method for searching for patents using semantic segmentation based tags, the method comprising:
-
semantically segmenting and tagging patents with a plurality of tags comprising one or more of claim preamble, claim elements, claim sub-elements, preamble attributes, element attributes, sub-element attributes, relationships between preamble, elements, and sub-elements, economic value of patent, claims, or elements, and inventiveness of patent, claims or elements; adding tags and segments to fields searchable by means of a search query in the patent search engine; using tags and segments in ranking and scoring of search results by the patent search engine. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
