What underlies effective keyword searching is
that the searchers are capable and experienced
enough to produce the most relevant keywords tailored for search purposes.
This underling assumption has failed many time in patent search activities
and it aggravates the problem when you take into account the times
and energies invested in these keyword based search activities.
PatentMagnet was designed to complement to valid but incomplete keyword searching.
PatentMagnet adopted "Relevance mining"
and "Scoring technique" as its key technology
whereby valid patent fields pertaining to increasing similarities to search subject
like inventors, application timing, applicants, examiners, agents, direct citations, indirect citations,
and priority information and so forth are explored to identify similar patents regardless of their keywords or phases.
Thus, search results pulled by PatentMagnet can be characterized as the results that overcome human bias
like search habits, prior experiences or limited vocabularies.
PatentMagnet promise total new experiences for users.
For example, you work in pharmaceutical or medical device industry and you are currently
looking for "sealing technology" related patents
against your "blood pouch" patents,
your search results based on typical keywords can be heavily polluted by patents
of veterinary science, hygiene, or even packaging related issues.
As opposed to including a lot of noises in your results, PatentMagnet produces "sealing"
related patents only
without being influenced by vocabularies like "blood" or "pouch".
PatentMagnet even find some patents from Nike, Inc because Nike's patents on 'air shoes technology'
involves a large part of "sealing" technology along with its 'shock absorption' technology.
PatentMagnet can be engaged in various business areas.
Patent attorneys would definitely like to verify the search results presented by patent searchers
using PatentMagnet especially when big dollars are at stake like in patent litigations.
Licensing managers or patent strategists in companies would like to use PatentMagnet to valuate their patent assets
by identifying similar patents to theirs in the market.
New business development managers would like to engage PatentMagnet in their attempts
to possibly actualize their patent assets.
Efficiency in exploring prior arts before or during patent application process by patent searchers or researchers
can be significantly increased by PatentMagnet.
