4. The system of claim 1 , wherein generating search results includes retrieving patent claims which include terms from the search query and synonyms of the terms.
1. A system comprising: a database of patent portfolios and a database of patents, each patent stored in the database of patents associated with one or more patent portfolios stored in the database of patent portfolios; and one or more specially-configured modules, each including a computer processor executing on software, to perform operations including: receiving a search query associated with a first patent portfolio; searching the first portfolio as a function of the search query; generating search results, the search results including one or more patent claims associated with the search query; maintaining a database of ontologies, the ontologies including one or more patent concepts, the patent concepts including at least one technology category and a scope concept defining a scope to which a patent claim is limited; mapping the one or more patent claims to a patent concept; maintaining a database of patent claims, the database of patent claims including the one or more patent claims; storing an indication of a relationship between the patent concept and the one or more patent claims in the database of patent claims, wherein the indication of the relationship includes an indication that the one or more patent claims are not mapped to the patent concept; highlighting any claim terms associated with the patent concept across a number of patent claims; storing the associations; displaying the one or more mapped patent claims and the one or more highlighted claim terms associated with a patent concept across a number of claims to a user in a graphic user interface, wherein the graphical user interface includes a scope modification interactive graphical user interface element; upon receiving an indication of an interaction with the scope modification graphical user interface element, displaying a user input graphical user interface; receiving input from the user input graphical user interface; modifying the scope concept of the patent concept using the input; highlighting any claim terms based on the modified scope concept of the patent concept across the number of patent claims; and updating a set of patent claims mapped to the patent concept with the modified scope concept of the patent concept.
