1. A method for generating a search of information sources based upon a correlation of core concepts between a first patent claim and a second patent claim in a collaboration and analysis system, comprising:
- storing a plurality of information sources in a database;
processing the first patent claim to derive a first set of one or more claim limitations;
processing the first patent claim to assign a first set of one or more core concepts;
processing the first patent claim to assign a first core concept to a first claim limitation of the first set of one or more claim limitations based upon an indication of similarity of the first claim limitation to an analyzed claim limitation to which the first core concept has been previously assigned;
processing a second patent claim to derive a second set of one or more claim limitations;
processing the second patent claim to assign a second core concept to a first claim limitation of the second set of one or more claim limitations;
processing the first core concept and the second core concept across at least the first patent claim and the second claim to determine a repeating core concept; and
searching among the plurality of information sources for the repeating core concept across at least the first patent claim and the second patent claim.

Abstract
An advanced relational database and user interface system used for the evaluation, analysis and generation of specialized reports in any of a plurality data analysis environments. The database and analysis system can be utilized for many purposes, but particularly and preferably to support the analysis of patent claims and more specifically claim construction, infringement, written description, invalidity and/or patentability, among other matters of intellectual property litigation and analysis.

1. A method for generating a search of information sources based upon a correlation of core concepts between a first patent claim and a second patent claim in a collaboration and analysis system, comprising:
-
storing a plurality of information sources in a database; processing the first patent claim to derive a first set of one or more claim limitations; processing the first patent claim to assign a first set of one or more core concepts; processing the first patent claim to assign a first core concept to a first claim limitation of the first set of one or more claim limitations based upon an indication of similarity of the first claim limitation to an analyzed claim limitation to which the first core concept has been previously assigned; processing a second patent claim to derive a second set of one or more claim limitations; processing the second patent claim to assign a second core concept to a first claim limitation of the second set of one or more claim limitations; processing the first core concept and the second core concept across at least the first patent claim and the second claim to determine a repeating core concept; and searching among the plurality of information sources for the repeating core concept across at least the first patent claim and the second patent claim. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4)

5. A method for ranking the quality of a first information source of a plurality of information sources with respect to a patent claim in a collaboration and analysis system, the first information source having a first information disclosure, comprising:
-
storing the plurality of information sources in a database; associating a first set of one or more core concepts to a first patent claim; processing the first patent claim to derive a first set of one or more claim limitations; processing a second patent claim to derive a second set of one or more claim limitations; processing the first set of core concepts to assign a core rating to each core concept based upon a precision of the first information disclosure of the first information source with respect to each core concept of the first set of core concepts; processing a ranking for the first information source to determine a core rating for each core concept of the first set of core concepts for the first set of claim limitations; processing at least one association between a claim limitation of the first set of claim limitations and a claim limitation of the second set of claim limitations; and processing the second set of claim limitations to assign a second set of core concepts to the second set of claim limitations, wherein the second set of core concepts is based on the first set of core concepts and the second set of core concepts is assigned to the second set of claim limitations based on the at least one association between the first and second set of claim limitations. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A system for analyzing a first disclosure of a first information source with respect to a first core concept of a first patent claim, comprising:
-
a database for storing a plurality of information sources and a plurality of core concepts of the first patent claim; a plurality of electrical components comprising a controlled environment for providing a communication medium between a user and the database, the plurality of electrical components including a processor for processing the first patent claim to derive a first set of one or more claim limitations, processing the first patent claim to assign a first set of one or more core concepts, processing the first patent claim to assign a first core concept to a first claim limitation of the first set of one or more claim limitations based upon an indication of similarity of the first claim limitation to an analyzed claim limitation to which the first core concept has been previously assigned, processing a second patent claim to derive a second set of one or more claim limitations, processing the second patent claim to assign a second core concept to a first claim limitation of the second set of one or more claim limitations, and processing the first core concept and the second core concept across at least the first patent claim and the second claim to determine a repeating core concept, wherein the plurality of information sources are searched for the repeating core concept across at least the first patent claim and the second patent claim; an analysis interface, forming a part of the communication engine, for correlating data of the system, inputs from a user, and the display of data in cooperation with an analysis interface engine; and a communication application for coordinating communication between a user device of the user and the controlled environment, for accessing resources through the controlled environment.
