Patent analytics system

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

maintaining a database of patent claim entries, the patent claim entries associated with one or more patent documents, and the patent claim entries associated with one or more parameters characterizing a patent claim;

receiving a search query including a product name;

providing a report generation interface including:

at least one patent document related to the product name;

selectable indicia for the one or more parameters characterizing a patent claim for a first axis of a report chart; and

selectable indicia for the one or more parameters characterizing a patent claim for a second axis of a report chart;

receiving a selection of a set of patent documents of the at least one patent document, and a selection of at least one first axis parameter and at least one second axis parameter according to the selectable indicia;

retrieving from the database, first and second axis parameter data from patent claim entries associated with the set of patent documents;

providing, using at least one processor, a report chart depicting relationships between the first and second axis parameter data for the patent claim entries associated with the set of patent documents, the relationships depicted as a plurality of data points; and

receiving a selection of one or more visualization options and modifying the report chart based on the selection, wherein the visualization options comprise: highlighting related data points, presenting claim language associated with a data point, and presenting more parameters associated with the data point.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more patent documents are selected from a group comprising a patent application and an issued patent.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more parameters characterizing a patent claim are selected from a group comprising claim breadth, claim type, and claim category.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein maintaining a database of patent claim entries comprises:

receiving an association between a patent claim entry and a parameter; and

storing the association in the database.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the report chart includes mapping the at least one first axis parameter as an X-axis and the at least one second axis parameter as a Y-axis on the report chart.

6. A non-transitory machine-readable medium with instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a processor, configure the processor to perform operations comprising:

maintaining a database of patent claim entries, the patent claim entries associated with one or more patent documents, and the patent claim entries associated with one or more parameters characterizing a patent claim;

receiving a search query including a product name;

providing a report generation interface including:

at least one patent document related to the product name;

selectable indicia for the one or more parameters characterizing a patent claim for a first axis of a report chart; and

selectable indicia for the one or more parameters characterizing a patent claim for a second axis of a report chart;

receiving a selection of a set of patent documents of the at least one patent document, and a selection of at least one first axis parameter and at least one second axis parameter according to the selectable indicia;

retrieving from the database, first and second axis parameter data from patent claim entries associated with the set of patent documents;

providing a report chart depicting relationships between the first and second axis parameter data for the patent claim entries associated with the set of patent documents, the relationships depicted as a plurality of data points; and

receiving a selection of one or more visualization options and modifying the report chart based on the selection, wherein the visualization options comprise: highlighting related data points, presenting claim language associated with a data point, and presenting more parameters associated with the data point.

7. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 6 wherein the one or more patent documents are selected from a group comprising a patent application and an issued patent.

8. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 6 wherein the one or more parameters characterizing a patent claim are selected from a group comprising claim breadth, claim type, and claim category.

9. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 6 wherein maintaining a database of patent claim entries comprises:

receiving an association between a patent claim entry and a parameter; and

storing the association in the database.

10. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 6 wherein providing the report chart includes mapping the at least one first axis parameter as an X-axis and the at least one second axis parameter as a Y-axis on the report chart.

11. A system comprising:

a processor;

a display device;

a storage device with a database of patent claim entries, the patent claim entries associated with one or more patent documents, and the patent claim entries associated with one or more parameters characterizing a patent claim;

one or more computer programs executable on the processor to:

receive a search query including a product name;

provide a report generation interface including:

at least one patent document related to the product name;

selectable indicia for the one or more parameters characterizing a patent claim for a first axis of a report chart; and

selectable indicia for the one or more parameters characterizing a patent claim for a second axis of a report chart;

receive a selection of a set of patent documents of the at least one patent document, and a selection of at least one first axis parameter and at least one second axis parameter according to the selectable indicia;

retrieve from the database, first and second axis parameter data from patent claim entries associated with the set of patent documents; provide a report chart depicting relationships between the first and second axis parameter data for the patent claim entries associated with the set of patent documents, the relationships depicted as a plurality of data points; and

receive a selection of a visualization option and modify the report chart based on the selection, wherein the visualization option includes an option selected from a group of options comprising: highlighting related data points, presenting claim language associated with a data point, and presenting more parameters associated with the data point.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more patent documents are selected from a group comprising a patent application and an issued patent.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more parameters characterizing a patent claim are selected from a group comprising claim breadth, claim type, and claim category.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more computer programs executable on the processor are to:

receive an association between a patent claim entry and a parameter; and

store the association in the database.
