The method includes determining whether an examination procedure of a patent stored in a database needs to be updated by monitoring a status of the patent, obtaining an application country information and an application number of the patent from the database, accessing a patent website corresponding to the application country information to search examination information of the patent in the patent website. The method further includes determining whether the examination information of the patent has been changed, downloading new examination information of the patent from the patent website according to the application number of the patent, if the examination information of the patent has been changed, and uploading the new examination information of the patent to the database to update the examination procedure of the patent. | 06-18-2009 |
20090158037 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROTECTING AN ELECTRONIC FILE - A method for protecting an electronic file is provided. The method symmetrically encrypts the electronic file with a symmetric key, and asymmetrically encrypts the symmetric key. In addition, the method calculates a message digest for the encrypted electronic file, and obtains a trusted timestamp for the message digest. The method may provide security and authenticity for the electronic file. | 06-18-2009 |
20090259929 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUBMITTING A PATENT APPLICATION ELECTRONICALLY - A system and method for submitting a patent application electronically includes converting a specification and figures of the patent application saved in a storage device into an application body extensible (ABX) word file, converting the ABX word file into an extensible markup language (XML) file and a portable document format (PDF) file, downloading patent details of the patent application from the storage device. The method further includes inputting the patent details to each textbox on a patent submission webpage of a designated patent office website, reading a title of the patent application and the number of claims from the XML file and the PDF file, and creating XML nodes of the patent details for the XML file to obtain an application file package, transferring the application file package to a remote server located at a designated patent office. | 10-15-2009 |
20100125757 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CORRECTING ERRORS IN DOWNLOADING WEB PAGES - A system and method for correcting errors in downloading web pages provides a historic error resolving procedure and a common error resolving procedure. The historic error resolving procedure is for storing a download error and debugging solutions corresponding to the download error. The download error includes error positions and error types. The common error resolving procedure stores predefined error types and corresponding debugging solutions. If the download error of an error does not exist in the historic error resolving procedure, the common error resolving procedure is searched for the error types and corresponding debugging solutions. If the error type does not exist in the common error resolving procedure, an administrator is prompted to provide a new debugging solution to solve the error, and the new debugging solution is stored into the historic error resolving procedure. | 05-20-2010 |
20110161303 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING OFFICIAL NOTICES OF ELECTRONICALLY FILED PATENT APPLICATIONS - A system and method for analyzing official notices of an electronically filed patent application are based on a file server that connects to patent office websites, a database, and client computers. An official notice of the patent application is downloaded from one of the patent office websites according to a download command from one of the client computers, and is converted to an image format document. Character data of the image format document are identified, and patent information of the electronically filed patent application are extracted from the character data using a regular expression. In addition, the patent information are analyzed to generate analysis results of the official notice according to the comparison. | 06-30-2011 |
20120158599 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING OFFICE ACTION OF PATENT APPLICATION - In a method for analyzing an office action of a patent application using a computing device, an office action of a patent application that is downloaded from a patent office website is parsed using predetermined regular expressions (RE). The patent information of patent application is extracted from the office action according to predetermined keywords of the patent information if the office action fails to be parsed by the regular expressions. A regular expression of the extracted patent information is generated according to determined rules, and is stored into the storage system, to parse another office action using the generated regular expression. | 06-21-2012 |
20120259618 | COMPUTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR COMPARING TEXT DATA - A method for comparing text data reads two patent documents comprising varying text sections. The method compares characters of a first text section in a first patent document with a corresponding second text section in a second patent document, and acquires a same sub-character string that has a maximum matching length and matching positions of the first and second text sections. The method marks characters before the matching positions of the first and second text sections as different characters. The method displays a comparison result list of the comparison between the first patent document and the second patent document on a display device. | 10-11-2012 |
20120304263 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SINGLE SIGN-ON - A server generates a first ID in response to a user inputting a username on a web portal provided by the server. If the user selects a link page displayed through the web portal, the server generates a second ID and sends the first ID and the second ID to the selected link page. The server detects if the user can access the selected link page by reference to the first ID and the second ID. If the server verifies the information successfully, the link page may be entered using the portal information. | 11-29-2012 |
20130144799 | COMPUTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR EXTRACTING PATENT REJECTION INFORMATION - A computing device extracts claims, patent law clauses, and prior art documents from an Office action document according to preset regular expressions, and stores the extracted claims, patent law clauses, and prior art documents in an array stored in a storage unit of the computing device. The computing device identifies rejected claims of the Office action document from the extracted claims, and searches involved patent law clauses and prior art documents regarding the rejected claims in the Office action document. The computing device records each identified rejected claim with involved patent law clauses and prior art documents in the storage unit, according to importance ratings of the rejected claims and the relationships. | 06-06-2013 |
20130243335 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING AN IMAGE FILE USING A COMPUTING DEVICE - In a method for processing an image file using a computing device, an image file from a storage system is read. If an image in the image file is slanted, an incision coordinates according to a configuration file in the storage system and a preset formula is calculated. The method incises the image using the calculated incision coordinates and storing the incised image in a new image file. If an image in the new image file is not slanted, the method further determines whether the image has been incised. If the image has been incised, the method records the calculated incision coordinates that make the image not be slanted as optimal incision coordinates, and stores the optimal incision coordinates into a database. | 09-19-2013 |
