Abstract

This paper introduces a patent searching framework to assess the state of the art of a product or a technology and to support technology transfer activities. It combines several dimensions (IPC, Object & Behaviour/Function keywords) together with an integrated abstraction methodology based on WordNet/Multi-screen in order to systemize and facilitate FBOS (Function/Behaviour–Oriented Search). The core of the method is the abstraction of behavior (based on a semantic approach) resulting in keywords at different abstraction levels, and a patent search based on these keywords and on a preassembled classification of Physical Effects. Key patents and space opportunities are mapped in a suitable graph, based on a revision of the classical Gero’s FBS theory.
