February 9, 2020. Estimated Expiration Date is calculated based on simple USPTO term provisions. It does not account for terminal disclaimers, term adjustments, failure to pay maintenance fees, or other factors which might affect the term of a patent.Patent ReferencesSystem and method of context vector generation and retrieval System and method for creating and manipulating notes each containing multiple sub-notes, and linking the sub-notes to portions of data objects Method and apparatus for synchronizing, displaying and manipulating text and image documents Method and apparatus for automatically generating hierarchical categories from large document collections Method of locating related items in a geometric space for data mining Method of data mining including determining multidimensional coordinates of each item using a predetermined scalar similarity value for each item pair Method for refining the initial conditions for clustering with applications to small and large database clustering Method and apparatus for generating weighted association rules Process and system for retrieval of documents using context-relevant semantic profiles Case-based reasoning system and method for scoring cases in a case database InventorsAssigneeApplicationNo. 500729 filed on 02/09/2000US Classes:707/6, Pattern matching access707/102Generating database or data structure (e.g., via user interface)ExaminersPrimary: Von Buhr, Maria N.Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassG06F 017/30AbstractA method of data mining represents related patents in a multidimensional space. Distance between patents in the multidimensional space corresponds to the extent of relationship between the patents. The relationship between pairings of patents can be expressed based on weighted combinations of several predicates. The user can select portions of the space to perceive. The user also can interact with and control the communication of the space, focusing attention on aspects of the space of most interest. The multidimensional spatial representation allows more ready comprehension of the structure of the relationships among the patents.Other References
