Requests

Make a new request

Choose « New » in « File » menu. An active window appears with two tabs : the first one concerns

general information on request. These information will enable to save the request and fulfill some

fields of the report (cf. The Report).

The second one deals with the request itself. You may search the patents using either key words

included in title and/or summary, or using any other field of a patent.





Warning : as explained on the espacenet web site, your request must not be too complexe, must

not include up to 2 boolean operators. For any further information on requests, please consult

the following web site http://www.espacenet.com/ .

Open an existing request

Choose « Open » in « File » menu. A new window appears giving the list of last updates with the

number of patents they include.

Update a request

First open your request (cf : Open an existing request ), choose « Update » in « File » menu.

A window gives you the newest patents from the date of the latest update or the date of the

request. Simply click on « ok » in that window to valid the update.

Information : the update frequency may be diary, a lighting bulb pictogram will inform the user on

the new patents.





Informations

Simple view (by patent)

MainList

InfoPatent

The window gives the patent list called « Mainlist » and information on the selected patent, called «

Infopatent »

Information : by clicking on « » icon in tool bar you may choose to active or disactive

the « InfoPatent » window.

Thanks to that display mode, the user profits by a general display of the collected patents and by

clicking on the column title he may sort the list.

Another tab named « Resources » views, when they exist, the following documents : the abstract,

the description, the claims, the first page drawing, the whole drawings.





Display by constraints

MainList

Constraints

InfoPatent





The window offers a group of 7 tabs (one for each category : Applicants, Inventors, Groups,…)

directly acting on the display of the patents «MainList » . For example, if the user selects an

inventor he only will view the patent list of that inventor. That is what we call « Display by

constraints ».

Groups

A group is a set of patents the user selects using the context-sensitive menu shown on each

patent. To create a group the user will choose « Add to a group » in the context-sensitive menu and

then click on « New… ».

To find the group list the user created, simply display the « Constraints » clicking on the

« » icon on the tool bar and select the « Group » tab.





Groups

Families

A family is a group of patents considered as equivalent by espacenet. To create families,

Mathéo Patent uses information given in the « Equivalent » field.

To create families, just click on the . icon. Each time the user clicks on it, all families

are created once again.





Family

When a family does not include all patents in local, Mathéo Patent displays a green little square

giving the available patents. The user may constantly download a non-recovered patent using the

patent context-sensitive menu. The « red square » icon will turn green when that patent will be

downloaded.





Graphics

As they do in their whole tool range, Matheo programs © offer 3 sorts of graph drawings

(networks, charts and matrice).

They all follow the same principle : the user may first select the field or the fields he wants

to mix by clicking on the icon corresponding to his graph and consquently he will be offered one of

the two following windows :

Simple Selection (Chart) Double Selection (Network et Matrice)





Networks

A network is a cartographic drawing of relations existing between items of a population. A

cartography enables an insentive interpretation of information. A network is the result of links and

tops. To analyse bulk information, filters are needed and 3 ones are at your disposal.

In the following example, we are analysing some scientific articles, mainly the links existing

between their authors (B, C, D, E, U, V). We get the following network for the 3 filters :

• Forms : number of articles edited by an author

• Connectivity : number of other authors with whom an author worked.

• Pairs : efficient collaboration (in number).

In the above example, the use of filters gives the following graphs :





We will now examine the various knobs displayed on this window :

1) The tool bar

Font : Modifies the size of caracters offered in the boxes

Step : Inscreases or decreases space between boxes

: Displays or hides the upper part including the rules

: Stops the moving of boxes

: Displays or hides the value between 2 boxes (Connectivity)

: Displays or hides tool bar rules.

: saves the network picture.

2) The rules





These rules enable a dynamic interaction on the network making boxes appear or disappear

according to their own characteristics (forms and pairs frequency).

Forms Frequency (value between parenthesis in boxes) : by moving Min and Max

values, the user acts on the boxes display. In the example : Min = 3 and Max = 10,

we only view the boxes corresponding to these caractheristics.

Pairs Frequency (value in small circles between boxes) ; as above, the user in that

case acts on Pairs. The principle is the same as in Form Frequency.

3) Options

Constraint : that knob influences on the propagation of characteristics between

boxes. Would the user decide to hide all Pair Frequencies <2, some boxes of which

the Pair Frequency was >2 will disappear for they were linked to boxes the Pair

Frequency of which was <2.

: That knob enables you, anytime you want, to view again the boxes you decided

to hide before.

4) The Context-sensitive menu

Fix box : Fixes the box while the other ones are active

Define color.., Default color : Changes the box background color

Define background color… : Changes the window background color

Hide box : Hides a box on demand





Charts

Thanks to the various knobs on the tool bar, you will easily change the form of bars and

choose a pie chart. Axes also can be modified in depth and in 3D. A saving option is also available

so as to save a graph.

Knobs available on the tool bar are the following ones :

: Offers a range of various graphs (horizontal, vertical histogram, pie chart)

: Changes the form of bars in histograms

: Not only places the legend but hides it on demand

: Gives the graphs a 3D effect

: Offers a palette of colors for graphs

: these 2 rules modify the graphs

perspective in depth and the Y axis.





: only 10 bars are the default option in histograms. That option enables

either to get the following 10 bars or to view all bars in the same window.

: Enables sorting graphs, choosing either forward sort on numeric

values, or background sort on numeric values, or alphabetical sort on names.

: Enables saving a graph as a picture.





Matrice

Parameters of column and row width are modifiable so as to adjust their display. Two sorting

knobs (sort on values, sort on cells) give a different view of the matrix you are creating. You also

may modify the column width (Col Width) and the row height (Row Height). The knob « »

will export the matrice to a text format.





Reports & Lists

Button « Report/List »

To create a report or a list, you must select the kind that you want. Matheo Patent launchesthe Word application, opens a new document and automatically fulfill it thanks to the information

get from the active request. That new document will be modified, saved, on demand of the user.

4 kinds of reports, 3 kinds exists:

For reports :

Global,

Tools

IPC List

Matheo Patent offers the CIB codes list on the 4 first digits and their French and English

meanings so that you may have requests on definitions through the SEARCH module in the upper

part of the window.





Countries Matheo Patent offers the possibility to use flags so as to easily identify registration

countries, inventors or any other information linked to a country code.





The Contex-sensitive Menu(right click on the item)

On Patent

Pertinence Definition Add patent to a group

Delete patent from a group Save the whole patent

That menu is detailed below :

Mark as read : if the patent is a new one, it appears with a lighting bulb, which

means the patent has been readed. The bulb is then switched off.

Add/Modify a comment : enables adding or modifying a comment on the

selected patent.

Pertinence : would the user be interested in the selected patent, he may give it a

pertinence.





Add to group : a patent may be part of a set we call a group. « New » or

« Create a new group » option (in Edit menu) will make you create a group.

When clicking on « Groups » tab, all the groups will be shown.

Delete from a group : a patent making part of a lot of groups may be deleted

from one of them or from all of them on demand of the user.

Export to Microsoft Word (c) : prints the patent into a document Word (c). Download : Espacenet delivers the patents under PDF format, Mathéo Patent

offers the users that possibility. None or some patents may be available and we

call them « equivalent patents » (very usefull when you are looking for a patent

in a language you understand).

Rename : rename the selected.

Delete : the patent is definitely erased from the database . Be carefull when using

« delete », a deleted patent becomes unaivalable.





On an applicant, an inventor, a IPC code, an Ecla code or a Publication Year

Details of that menu are described below :

Mark as read : if the patent is a new one, it appears with a lighting bulb, which

means the patent has been readed. Every patent including the selected word

(inventor, applicant, CIB code,…) has been readed. The bulb is then switched

off.

Add/Modify a comment : enables adding or modifying a comment on the

selected word (inventor, applicant, CIB code,...).

Add to group : opposite to the context-sensitive menu on a patent. That option

adds all patents including the selected term (inventor, applicant, CIB code,…) to

a new group or an existing group. Export to Microsoft Word (c) : prints the patent into a document Word (c).

(inventor, applicant, CIB code,…)

Rename : Rename the selected items.





On a group , a family

Tab Families Tab Groups

The big difference concerns the « New » option in the context-sensitive menu. In fact,

« Family » menu does not offer it for families are automatically created.

These menues are detailed below :

Add/Modify a comment : to add or modify a comment on the selected group or

family (inventor, applicant, CIB code,…)

Add to group : different from the context-sensitive menu on a patent. Adds to a

new group or an existing group all the patents included in the selected family or

group.

Export to Microsoft Word (c) : prints the group or the family in Word

document (c).

New : Create a new group.

Rename : changes the name of an existing group or family..

Delete : definitely erases the selected group or family.

CO - Brevet très intéressant

AB - THE OBJECT IS TO PROVIDE AN AIRBAG APPARATUS CAPABLE OF INDIVIDUALLY SETTING THE PRESSURE WHEN

THE CHAMBERS DIVIDED IN THE AIRBAG ARE INFLATED. WHEN A GAS GENERATOR (3) IS OPERATED, GAS IS

EMITTED FROM GAS JETS (5) AND FLOWS INTO A FIRST CHAMBER (1A) AND A SECOND CHAMBER (1B) THROUGH GAS

OUTLETS (4A) AND (4B) OF A GAS DISTRIBUTOR (4), RESPECTIVELY; THE CHAMBERS (1A) AND (1B) ARE

INFLATED; AND AN AIRBAG (1) IS DEPLOYED ALONG THE WINDOW SIDE OF A SEET (10). THE FIRST GAS OUTLET

(4A) IS LARGER IN DIAMETER THAN THE SECOND GAS OUTLET (4B), SO THAT THE GAS IS SUPPLIED TO THE FIRST

CHAMBER (1A) IN LARGER QUANTITIES AND AT HIGHER PRESSURE THAN TO THE SECOND CHAMBER (1B).

CONSEQUENTLY, THE FIRST CHAMBER (1A) IS INFLATED AT HIGH INTERNAL PRESSURE.
