Goldfire Intelligence™
The Enterprise Innovation Solution
High-Precision Knowledge Search
their comprehension and application:
With Goldfire Intelligence, users gain precision
search capabilities of pre-indexed worldwide
patent databases, scientific content, and personal
knowledge. Searchable Knowledge Bases are created using Invention Machine's natural language
indexing technology, where unstructured electronic documents are processed into an index of
“meaning fingerprints” for sentences and phrases
that define a clear pattern to be matched by a
computer during searches. Queries entered as
free-form text are similarly analyzed, and then
compared to the contents of the Knowledge
Bases - retrieving results that precisely match
the query meaning.
• Sentences that directly address the user’s
question, ranked by relevance
• Links to source documents in their entirety,
with the relevant sentence highlighted
• List of dynamically generated query synonyms
for launching related searches
While natural language search utilizes the full
power of Goldfire Intelligence, advanced keyword
searches are also supported.
Dynamic Topic Categorization
Goldfire Intelligence search results include a list
of dynamically generated Topics that categorize
the retrieved information. Clicking a Topic displays results within a specific category.
Relevant Results in Context
Once relevant knowledge has been retrieved,
results are presented in a way that expedites
Facilitated Access to Patent Databases
Invention Machine provides users with superior
access to major worldwide patent databases.
Innovation professionals use Goldfire’s intuitive
natural language search to quickly locate key
competitor information within the wealth of market intelligence in patent documents. Search
results are presented as relevant sentences that
precisely address the query meaning, delivering
solutions instead of disjointed facts.
Invention Machine updates its patent Knowledge
Bases on a weekly basis.
Timesaving Patent Summarization
Goldfire Intelligence users access meaningful
summaries of patent documents directly from the
search results page. Each patent summary
organizes document information into the
Application, Task, Method, and Features sections,
and is available at several levels of detail.
Extracted sentences directly
answer research questions
and are sorted by relevance.
Category Topics are dynamically generated during each
search.

relevant search results, transforming
facts into solutions.
Source documents can be opened from the
results page with the relevant sentence
highlighted.
