IPscreener is a decision support tool based on semantic technology used for automatic prior art retrieval. When feeding a raw text to the IPscreener service, the AutoMatch search engine converts this text to a fingerprint representation. This representation is used to fetch the most similar documents reflecting the context of the query text. This is done from a specially tailored global reference database of patent documents. Thus, relevant prior art is identified and presented to a user in a client platform without any manual interaction needed. Therefore, each review of an idea along the innovation process is given a support for faster decisions, better priority of resources and at a higher quality.The IPscreener installation is implemented as a standalone-module that is easily integrated with any existing commercial or internal patent administration system. The API service is built using REST principles which ensures predictable URLs that supports easy connectivity and communication. For a descriptive overview of the data flow see Fig. 1. The IPscreener REST API follows standard HTTP rules, enabling a wide range of HTTP clients to be able to interact with the service.
