Patent analysis software from NTT?

-->
NTT Data Corporation has developed a system that reportedly analyses patent documents, utilising its proprietary natural language processing technology, in a way that allows complicated sentence structures to be understood more easily.

The company's "pattern - matching technology", by which to find out morpheme (the smallest meaningful unit of a language) characteristics of sentence structures, such as articles, descriptions, and type of characters used, is applied to search for unique patterns described in complicated structures of patent documents through multiple pattern matching.
