Abstract

Patent retrieval is a complex challenging task; despite of the numerous patent search applications, more flexible solutions are needed to help users to easily identify relevant patents. This paper presents the PatentLight search tool that offers novel and flexible functionalities to help users looking for relevant patents represented in the XML format.
