Search results based on a conformance analysis of analysis references that form a library of agreements, in which each analysis reference corresponds to an agreement and indicates intellectual property document

摘要

A computer-enabled system, method, and medium provides intellectual property analyses, for example, patent claim charts, respective to the analyzed intellectual property and a target product or other intellectual property. Analyses are stored to enable searching/reporting across multiple analyses. Units of the analysis are associated with context, inherited, e.g., from the intellectual property document's assignment to a relative role within the organizational hierarchy; and associated with a context derived from the analysis itself. The analysis and respective documents and/or targets of the analysis can be searched/retrieved/analyzed from the hierarchical analysis, the context analysis, and/or the content of the analysis. Each analysis need not be stored as a separate document. The representation of the analysis may by static or dynamic. The target or annotations may be visually represented by an item such as a thumbnail or hyperlink, and the system associates the item with the appropriate application program.
