20100268823 | BROADBAND WIRELESS NETWORK - Disclosed herein are methods and apparatus for operating and deploying a broadband wireless network having at least one data transmission node and a plurality of CPE units, wherein there is a wireless data link at least in part between the data transmission node and the CPE units, and further wherein the management and configuration of the network is managed centrally and at least one of authorization, authentication, data stream prioritization or queuing is accomplished through the operation of the CPE units. According to one embodiment there is provided a user group manager that provides a user interface for at least one local service provider to manage information about end users served by the local service provider. In another embodiment, management and configuration of the network is managed using a device that communicates with CPE units and the data transmission nodes. The system and method further provides a data transmission node that includes routing capability, wherein the data transmission node is located with at least one CPE unit. In another embodiment, a network supervision and management device holds an original configuration file for each CPE unit wherein each CPE unit further includes a configuration file that includes an address reference to one or more of the supervision and management devices thereby providing for connectivity to the supervision and management devices and capability of redundancy when more than one supervision and management device is referenced. | 10-21-2010 |
20130086047 | PATENT MAPPING - A system and computer implemented method of patent mapping are provided. The method comprises maintaining a database of patent portfolios and a database of patents, each patent stored in the database of patents associated with one or more patent portfolios stored in the database of patent portfolios; maintaining a database of ontologies, the ontologies including one or more patent concepts in defined groups; receiving a search query associated with a first patent portfolio; searching the first portfolio as a function of the search query; generating search results, the search results including one or more patent claims associated with the search query; and mapping the one or more patent claims to a patent concept in a defined group. | 04-04-2013 |
20130086048 | PATENT MAPPING - A system and computer implemented method of patent mapping is provided. The method comprises maintaining a database of patent portfolios and a database of patents, each patent stored in the database of patents associated with one or more patent portfolios stored in the database of patent portfolios; receiving a search query associated with a first patent portfolio; searching the first portfolio as a function of the search query; generating search results, the search results including one or more independent patent claims associated with the search query; mapping the one or more independent patent claims to at least one patent concept; and associating the at least one mapped patent concept to one or more patent claims which are dependent on the one or more independent patent claims. | 04-04-2013 |
20130086049 | PATENT MAPPING - A system and method for patent mapping are provided. The system comprises a database of patent sets and a database of patents, each patent stored in the database of patents associated with one or more patent sets stored in the database of patent sets; and one or more modules to perform a portion of one or more of the following: receive input identifying a set of keyword source claims associated with a first patent set; automatically extract at least one keyword from the source claims; receive or formulate a search query associated with the first patent set, the search query including the at least one keyword; search the entire first patent set as a function of the search query; generate search results, the search results including one or more patent claims associated with the search query; and map the one or more patent claims to a patent concept. | 04-04-2013 |
20130132302 | SYSTEMS, METHODS AND INTERFACES IN A PATENT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - Systems, methods and interfaces for patent portfolio management are proposed. In one example embodiment, a system comprises at least one module, executing on one or more computer processors, to assign a first, arbitrary patent value unit to any issued patent in the portfolio that has not been cited forward against another patent or application, assign a second, arbitrary patent value unit to any issued patent in the portfolio that has been cited forward against another patent or application, and sum the first and second arbitrary patent values units to derive the aggregate value of the patent portfolio. | 05-23-2013 |
20130282409 | Systems and methods for patent portfolio management - Systems and methods for patent portfolio management are proposed. In one example embodiment, a system or method includes maintaining or accessing a database including data relating to patent maintenance fees and due dates. An interactive interface is presented to a user, the interface including a display of a maintenance fee and a due date for at least one patent in the database. The interactive interface allows a user to request a maintenance-fee cost projection for a selected group or portfolio of patents in the database. A notification selection element allows a user to request notification of maintenance fee payments coming due. | 10-24-2013 |
20140052667 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PATENT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT - Systems and method for patent portfolio management are described. In some example embodiments, a patent matter database that includes data pertaining to a patent matter is maintained. The data includes a docket activity description for a docket activity pertaining to the patent matter and a docket date that indicates a due date for the docket activity. An analysis on the data is performed based on applying a docketing rule to the data. The docketing rule specifies a condition when the docket date is a critical date. A determination is made that the docket date is the critical date based on the condition being satisfied in the data. The data is tagged to indicate that the docket date is the critical date. | 02-20-2014 |
20140317000 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGEMENT OF A PATENT PORTFOLIO - Generally discussed herein are systems and methods for performing patent analytics. In one or more embodiments, a method for performing patent analytics can include receiving an identification of a target patent, analyzing the target patent to determine a corpus of prior art references cited against the target patent, classifying a plurality of the references in the corpus of prior art references as abandoned or active, generating a value rating for the target patent based in part on the classifying, or storing the value rating in association with the target patent. | 10-23-2014 |
20140317125 | PATENT CLAIM SCOPE EVALUATOR - Systems and methods for calculating a patent claim scope rating are disclosed. In an example embodiment, a method of calculating a patent claim scope rating includes identifying patent references cited in examination of a subject patent and storing the identified patent references as an applied art list, identifying first backward references for the patent references in the applied art list and storing the first backward references as a first backward list, identifying second backward references for the first backward references in the first backward list and storing the second backward references as a second backward list, identifying forward references for the patent references in the applied art list and storing the forward references as a forward list. A patent claim scope rating is based on a calculation including at least a partial combination listing of the applied art list, the first and second backward lists, and the forward list. | 10-23-2014 |
