Expedited Award for Novel Research: Computer Aid for Evaluating the Patentability of Engineered Devices

研究就是专利审查的过程。将被称为专利援助的计算机工具将大大加快对美国联邦法典第102条和美国法典第103条所规定的专利权利要求的新颖性和显着性的评估过程。一旦理论基础得到细化和正式化，就可以通过在基于知识的设计库的层次结构中添加新的设备分类来逐步扩展Patentaid的实施。

The research is the process of patent examination. The computer tool to be called PatentAid, will greatly expedite the process of evaluation of the novelty and obviousness of patent claims as ruled by U.S.C. 102 and U.S.C. 103. Once the theoretical basis is refined and formalized, the resulting implementation of PatentAid can be progressively extended by addition of new device classifications to the hierarchy of the knowledge based design library.
