The problem addressed by this project is the increase, in a large number of countries, of IP protection activities, particularly related to patents (applications, oppositions, and infringement lawsuits). This increases costs and risks for an SME that wants to enter a particular market. In order to reduce thesecosts and risks, PLuTO has identified a number of key objectives:
- Development of a rapid solution for online retrieval and translation of patents by integrating a number of existing state-of-the-art software components;
- Commodisation of domain-focussed machine translations, making it more accessible to individual inventors and SMEs who do not have the resources to contract patent lawyers, searchers and translators;
- Construction of a fully-functional indexing engine that will serve as a complete tool for prior art search by professional patent searchers or individual inventors;
- Deployment of a professional Web 2.0 application where patent searchers, lawyers, translators and others involved in the prior art search, can collaborate on a particular task, sharing search results and translations in order to achieve an optimal solution.
