Patent dispute forecasting apparatus and method thereof

Abstract

The present invention relates to a patent dispute forecasting apparatus and a method thereof. The patent dispute forecasting apparatus includes a keyword extracting unit which extracts keywords from apatent claim image of a first patent document and a second patent document and the background of the invention, respectively, a similarity calculating unit which calculates background technology similarity and claim similarity between the first patent document and the second patent document by using the extracted keywords, and a cooperative similarity calculating unit which calculates cooperativesimilarity by calculating the claim similarity and the background technology similarity and sets the calculated cooperative similarity as an infringer detection possibility value.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a patent dispute prediction device and its method, and more specifically to a patent dispute prediction device and its method, which use text mining (textmining) technology independently in the patent claims of patent documents and as the background technology of the invention Calculate the similarity and measure the co-operative similarity, and correspond the calculated value to the discovery probability value of the infringer. Background technique [0002] The value of intangible intellectual property like patents is increasing day by day, and damages due to patent infringement have reached astronomical levels as recently shown in the smartphone lawsuit between Samsung and Apple. [0003] Therefore, compared with the patent search and analysis for reviewing novelty and inventiveness used in patent applications, even if the corresponding company industrializes related products, it is more concerned about whether it wil...
