An ontology to integrate multiple information domains in the patent system

The past few years have experienced an explosive growth in scientific and regulatory documents related to the patent system. Relevant information is siloed into many heterogeneous information domains making it a challenging task to gather information. In this paper, we develop an ontology to standardize the representation of the patent system in order to overcome the heterogeneity and integrate information from the patent document, court case and file wrapper domains. Through a use case in the bio domain erythropoietin, we demonstrate how this ontology can be used as a tool to improve the learning curve of users gathering information across these multiple information domains. The proposed ontology provides the required semantics to develop automated tools for a variety of purposes including Information Retrieval (IR) and analytics.

“…For example, Bermudez et al (2013) describe a methodological approach for the definition of relationships and reasoning tasks for patent analysis by using patent ontologies. The work of Taduri et al (2011) proposes an ontology to integrate information from the patent and court case domains. It extends the innovation elements provided in a patent with additional elements related to the patent law and its enforcement.…”

An ontology for exchanging innovation in water management

et al. 2019

As the new technological developments become increasingly complex, the creation of partnerships between companies and research centres becomes essential. Nowadays, there are several platforms trying to offer a stable innovation market that can be used for the transfer of innovation in water management. However, they neither allow a complete description of the features of innovation proposals nor are capable of describing the specific requirements of the different research fields. This work describes OntoInnova, an ontology that provides a more complete model of the different elements related to research, development and innovation exchange in water management. We have applied this ontology for the modelling of the innovation data collected in the European WE@EU project for water management in urban environments.

“…PatentOntology was developed to avoid the limitations of Patexpert when integrating heterogeneous domains [19]. PatentOntology merges information from USPTO patent documents retrieved from the USPTO database with information from patent courts of USPTO from the LexisNexis database [20].…”
