Abstract

Systems and methods for providing adaptive surface texture in auto-drafted patent documents are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: obtain a plurality of style attributes, a given style attribute being descriptive of a type of document characteristic that is often-repeated or habitual in patent documents; obtain values for the plurality of style attributes, a given value of a style attribute being descriptive of a specific document characteristic that is often-repeated or habitual in one or more sample patent documents; and provide an auto-drafted patent document exhibiting the values for the plurality of style attributes.

Claims (27)

1. A system configured for providing adaptive surface texture in auto-drafted patent documents, the system comprising:

one or more hardware processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:

obtain a plurality of style attributes, a given style attribute being descriptive of a type of document characteristic that is often-repeated or habitual in patent documents, the patent documents including one or both of patent applications or issued patents;

obtain values for the plurality of style attributes, a given value of a style attribute being descriptive of a specific document characteristic that is often-repeated or habitual in one or more sample patent documents, the one or more sample patent documents including one or both of patent applications or issued patents; and

provide an auto-drafted patent document exhibiting the values for the plurality of style attributes, wherein being auto-drafted includes being created automatically by a computerized natural language generation system, wherein, by exhibiting the values for the plurality of style attributes, the auto-drafted patent document embodies some or all of a specific writing style.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the given style attribute includes one or more of a tendency toward permissive language in specification, word choice between implementations and embodiments, or whether lists of examples are open or closed.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the values for the plurality of style attributes are associated with one or more of a single law firm, a single practice group within a law firm, an individual patent practitioner, an individual patent assignee, or a specific technology field.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the values for the plurality of style attributes at least partially define a writing style of a specific patent practitioner.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the values for the plurality of style attributes are obtained based on machine learning applied to the one or more sample patent documents.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the values for the plurality of style attributes are obtained by an automated evaluation of the one or more sample patent documents for word patterns, part-of-speech patterns, word choice, or sentence structure.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the specific writing style is associated with one or more of a single law firm, a single practice group within a law firm, a single patent practitioner, a single patent assignee, or a specific technology field.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the auto-drafted patent document is provided responsive to receipt of one or more claim sets and one or more sample patent documents.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more claim sets and the one or more sample patent documents are received by one or more of email, an application programming interface, or a web-based user interface.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more hardware processors are further configured by machine-readable instructions to provide, for visual presentation, a user interface to an individual patent practitioner, the user interface conveying the values for the plurality of style attributes such that the individual patent practitioner can selectively change one or more of the values.

11. A method for providing adaptive surface texture in auto-drafted patent documents, the method comprising:

obtaining a plurality of style attributes, a given style attribute being descriptive of a type of document characteristic that is often-repeated or habitual in patent documents, the patent documents including one or both of patent applications or issued patents;

obtaining values for the plurality of style attributes, a given value of a style attribute being descriptive of a specific document characteristic that is often-repeated or habitual in one or more sample patent documents, the one or more sample patent documents including one or both of patent applications or issued patents; and

providing an auto-drafted patent document exhibiting the values for the plurality of style attributes, wherein being auto-drafted includes being created automatically by a computerized natural language generation system, wherein, by exhibiting the values for the plurality of style attributes, the auto-drafted patent document embodies some or all of a specific writing style.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the given style attribute includes one or more of a tendency toward permissive language in specification, word choice between implementations and embodiments, or whether lists of examples are open or closed.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the values for the plurality of style attributes are associated with one or more of a single law firm, a single practice group within a law firm, an individual patent practitioner, an individual patent assignee, or a specific technology field.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the values for the plurality of style attributes at least partially define a writing style of a specific patent practitioner.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the values for the plurality of style attributes are obtained based on machine learning applied to the one or more sample patent documents.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the values for the plurality of style attributes are obtained by an automated evaluation of the one or more sample patent documents for word patterns, part-of-speech patterns, word choice, or sentence structure.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the specific writing style is associated with one or more of a single law firm, a single practice group within a law firm, a single patent practitioner, a single patent assignee, or a specific technology field.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the auto-drafted patent document is provided responsive to receipt of one or more claim sets and one or more sample patent documents.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the one or more claim sets and the one or more sample patent documents are received by one or more of email, an application programming interface, or a web-based user interface.

20. The method of claim 11 , further comprising providing, for visual presentation, a user interface to an individual patent practitioner, the user interface conveying the values for the plurality of style attributes such that the individual patent practitioner can selectively change one or more of the values.
