Welcome to the Patent Claim Scope Research Project (ClaimScopr)
Advancing Our Understanding of Patent Systems
This website is part of an innovative research project being conducted at the Melbourne Law School, University of Melbourne. Our goal is to develop new ways to measure and analyse the scope of patent claims, with implications for patent law, innovation policy, and the performance of patent systems in Australia and around the world.
Why This Matters
Patent claims define the boundaries of inventions and the rights granted to inventors. The scope of these claims plays a crucial role in balancing innovation incentives with public access to new technologies. By creating more sophisticated tools to assess claim scope, we can:
- Evaluate how patent systems perform over time and across jurisdictions
- Inform evidence-based policy decisions
- Enhance our understanding of the relationship between patent scope and innovation
How You Can Contribute
We're inviting experienced patent professionals to participate in our cutting-edge study. By leveraging your expertise, we aim to create a dataset that will serve as the foundation for training and validating advanced AI models capable of analyzing patent claim scope.
