ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems for forming a team of experts and evaluating a portfolio of patent documents have been provided. The methods comprise the step of determining a bias of an expert, and then providing evaluations of patent documents assigned to the expert according to a selected evaluation method, which is bias corrected to reduce or compensate for the bias of the expert. A system for evaluating a patent portfolio comprises means for assigning the patent documents to said experts and monitoring progress of the evaluation process of each expert, and means for performing evaluations of the assigned patent documents by each expert. The system is further enhanced with the means for determining the bias of the expert, and with a visualization unit for visualizing the results of the patent portfolio evaluation by color coding the evaluation results, wherein patent documents having different values are represented by different colors of a visible part of the light spectrum. A corresponding computer program product, a computer memory and a web site for providing access to the system and management of activities of the experts are also described.
