Legal Community

What is Validity & Prior Art Search Missing?

It is estimated that fully 90% of information today is published to the Web as “unstructured” data.

BrightPlanet  is a service company that employs highly developed, patented research tools dedicated to the Legal Community which can harvest Deep Web documents - documents typically not found (“hidden and unknown”) by traditional surface search engines like Google.

Validity Search organizations (such as the USPTO, Questel and Delphion) utilize internal static database that cover patents only.  They offer a subscription to “known” data sources and have no access to Non-Patent Literature (unstructured Deep Data) found on the Deep Web. NPL Deep Data on the web represents an increasingly growing repository of documents and data now generally regarded as essential to the legal diligence process in today’s world.

Opportunities:

Patent Look™

Patent Look is a dynamic, Interactive Portal site that allows user’s access to all PTO content and relevant Open Source content harvested from the Public Web to a Deep Web Silo. The Silo will allow search, link analysis of topic-specific harvested content to find “unknown” and “hidden’ relationships between entities.

Patent Snapshot™

The goal of the system is to electronically receive an annotated patent application and use that annotated patent application as the only source input to automatically and without human intervention  It can then generate a snapshot database of the potential prior art that can then be archived and utilized during a later prosecution of the patent application.
