Abstract :
The ability to access patents and relevant patent-related information pertaining to a patented technology can fundamentally transform the patent system and its functioning and patent institutions such as the USPTO and the federal courts. This paper describes an ontology-based computational framework that can resolve some of difficult issues in retrieving patents and patent related information for the legal and justice system.
