Has anyone found a program that can easily map patent families or create diagrams of related patents?

Question

I have been searching, without much success, for a program that can easily create family tree or org chart type diagrams of related patents. Something with an import wizard set up would be ideal. Does anyone know of, or use a software product of this type?

Answer 1

Try some software called Graphviz.

You'll need to create your own data set of patent pairs to feed into it. But it may be something you can use.



One of my guys showed it to me this morning for visualizing some lineage/trees and it seemed relatively easy to use.

Answer 2

Lyantha says all of it. contained while it comes to a being pregnant, that's no longer "your" DNA, yet completely new DNA. that's in easy terms "your" DNA as long as a being pregnant would not take place. And to your premise to gel thoroughly, the farmer might could intentionally "deposit" his seed in the different farmer"s field, in easy terms to coach around and sue for repayment. i glance at it this form. If the guy can coach that he tried to keep away from undesirable being pregnant by employing taking the suitable measures (and this would not advise only asking "Are you on the pill?"), and the female sabotages this to get herself pregnant, then the guy could have the skill to stroll away. He for sure did no longer choose babies, and he acted accurately. yet while somebody leaves birth control contained in the palms of yet another, or would not take suitable measures, they're appearing negligently. And that is going for the two. females could by no skill bypass away birth control completely contained in the palms of the guy, and vice versa. If being pregnant is undesired, take concerns into your man or woman palms.

Answer 3

I have manually entered these family trees in Microsoft Visio.
