Patent Document

  • Think of patents as documents rather than as "rights", take an analytical approach.
  • Country codes
  • Name format is not standard across countries' patent systems, and sometimes not standard within the same country.
  • Assignee has similar problem
    • Dupont and IBM can have about 15 different spellings for their names (IMB, Int Biz Mach, etc).
      • Additionally, DuPont has many subsidiaries so it's challenging to search for them as an entity. (m&a, etc).
