2) Problems associated with conventional patent searching technologies
Challenges of patent searching
Search can be broadly broken into two categories. Discovery and recovery. Discovery involves finding information that you are unaware is there, whereas recovery is finding information that you already know is there. Recovery is what conventional search does reasonably well. Conversely, conventional search is terrible at discovery. If you don’t know a piece of information is there, how can you think of the terms to use in order to find it?

3) How SOPHIA addresses these problems
SOPHIA’s patent searching technology can address all the limitations outlined in the challenges of patent searching section because it searches based on the meaning of what you are looking for not simply on the presence or absence of the key terms you enter. It can do this because it uncovers the implicit hidden relationships between patents, based on their content. This ensures that if patent A is of interest SOPHIA understands Patent B will also be relevant because it is very similar based on its meaning to Patent A. Patents B could contain terms that are synonyms to those in Patent A and therefore it could remain hidden to conventional Boolean search techniques. Not so with SOPHIA.
