You need to filter out what is not relevant before you dive deeper into the patents of interest, but after a while the titles all look the same, making the filtering job very difficult.<\/p>\n<p>The problem comes from the rules for patents. In the US, Patent Regulation Code 37 CFR 1.72(a) states that patent titles &#8220;must be as short and specific as possible.&#8221; This may have worked for scanning patents by front page in the old days, but in the age where scanning patents in a list is the norm, those short titles just aren&#8217;t enough.\u00a0 Most of the titles and images do not provide enough information to make a fast decision for filtering which then leads to at least looking at the first claim or possibly other sections of the patent to be sure it should be moved out of the &#8220;Relevant&#8221; stack.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Now imagine if you had someone read all of those patents for you first and bring the points of interest into clear view.\u201d\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now imagine if you had someone read all of those patents for you first and bring the points of interest into clear view.\u00a0 Pioneer of patent abstracting Monty Hyams learned early on that companies saw great value in having a first level patent reviewer look at the new patents and write up the novel aspects.
