Abstract

The job of reviewing patents applications might be complicated because every day the quantity of it is greater and greater. Also, the amount of work dedicated to preparing a proper application might be complicated. The process needs several revisions from investors and examiners. This revision job might have costs for the inventor because they don’t know the proper mode for writing the application in the formal mode used. As part of a solution, one approach to minimize the impact of this fact and increase the success of the reviewing process is aid the human reviewer and also inventors with a set of patterns. The patterns are created using Natural Language Processing techniques and that accelerate the review just looking at the massive set of registration any similar application already patented. On the other hand aid the inventor in the process of writing an application in a formal manner.
