→User Wants to Tag a Document So Later Users Can Find It
* A user knows of prior art related to a software patent or believes that the reference is novel.
* Prior art in this case being one or more references (document, executable code or description of software/system) which contain(s) all of the elements of at least one claim of the patent.
* An input screen is presented that allows the user to enter and tag on multiple fields which correspond to the patent claim elements as well as other meta-data such as date, author, field of use. Suggested tags are presented on a drop-down menu.
*Each of these multiple fields that corresponds with a field on another piece of prior art will link through to a web-page that allows users to add content and English-language descriptions in a wiki-style format.
*Each of these web pages allows the users to create links between them, such that where a synonym for a term is used, links to the related terms appear at the top of each page.
