System to Manage the Patent Granting Process within the Patent OfficeWeb Application
Challenge
Every year, patent examiners analyze more than 200 000 patent filings, which results in over 60 000 patents being granted to the applicants. The Patent Office needed to launch a holistic tool to improve and accelerate the granting process. Sparkbit collaborated to provide examiners with a central
feature-rich workstation to examine patent applications.Solution
The system is designed to analyze, annotate and classify patent applications, collaborate on documents in real time and track the full history of all changes that have been made to the document. The system integrates within multiple other systems within the enterprise. We have built the system using Java 8, Spring Boot and Apache Camel on the backend and TypeScript, AngularJS 2.0 on the front end. We have also created a flexible and fully automated continuous delivery pipeline, using tools such as Gerrit, Jenkins and Docker. Building the system involved vast team collaboration and extensive feature handling. We worked closely with the client to ensure a well-fitting solution.
