ABSTRACT:
A system, method, and computer program product for displaying a patent document and a patent image. The method operates by preparing for display a patent document comprised of at least one patent text file, and a patent image document comprised of at least one patent image file. The patent text file is generated from at least one source text file. The patent text file includes equivalency information detailing an equivalency relationship between the patent image file and the source text file. The equivalency information comprises linking information indicative of a correspondence between at least one portion of the source text file and at least one portion of the patent image file. The patent image file is at least one data file having stored therein one or more image pages associated with a patent. Each of the image pages is an electronic image of at least a portion of a page of the patent or at least a portion of a page of a document related to the patent. The source text file is at least one data file having stored therein text data representing textual data in the patent. A user interface is generated for display on the display. The user interface selectively displays the patent text file and the patent image file on the display, such that at least a portion of the patent text file is displayed in a first window and at least a portion of the patent image file is displayed in a second window and the windows may be selectively viewed simultaneously or individually on the display.
