考慮同義字詞之智慧專利搜索系統
A smart patent search system considering synonymous words and phrases
摘要
專利為政府授予專利權人在法定之期間內可享有專利技術的排他權，不僅保護發明人之權利，也因如此，企業開發一項新產品時，自然必須進行完整且精確的專利檢索，以防此產品上市後被提起侵權訴訟，然而，不同專利間的關鍵技術名詞並未統一，故本研究擬設計一種智慧搜索的方法，預先以智慧化的方式建構同義字與同義詞的對照表，如此一來，儘管某些技術名詞有許多不同的別稱，都能夠被找出，將比過去傳統的精確比對方法更有效率且完整，也能夠幫助企業進行更完善的專利分析，免除可能的智財訴訟或商譽威脅。本研究將分別以特徵萃取及機器學習方法建構同義字典及同義詞典，採用英文字典及網路百科全書作為訓練資料來源，待建構完成後，以兩種方式分別對同義字典與同義辭典進行驗證與分析，檢視其涵蓋性及辨識能力，最後則實際以太陽能相關專利之案例，檢視本研究提出之智慧專利搜索系統的成效，觀察本系統找出之專利字詞數量是否足夠、專利文件中的重要關鍵技術同義字詞是否確實被找出，本研究期以此同義字詞智慧專利搜索系統，幫助企業或專利權人實施更完善之專利檢索，保障其權益並免除不必要之訴訟威脅與損失。
並列摘要
Patents grant the patentee exclusive rights for their technology over a period of time. Companies have to implement a patent search before the product development, which called freedom-to-operate analysis. This may help them find out the prior art patents that are related to the product being developed. In patent documents, there are many synonyms, but the traditional searching methods cannot detect them well. To conduct a complete freedom-to-operate analysis, this study constructed a word level dictionary by pattern-based method and phrase level dictionary by machine learning approach. In the validation phase, we choose two different ways to test the word level dictionary and the phrase level dictionary. In case study, this study collected patents in solar power domain to examine the effectiveness of the smart patent search system proposed in this study. We checked whether the number of patent words found in the system is sufficient and whether the key technical words of the patents are found out. This study expects to help enterprises or patentees implement more complete patent search by this patent search system, which protects their rights and avoid unnecessary litigations and losses.
