Abstract
The language of patent claims differs from ordinary language to a great extent, which results in the fact that tools especially adapted to patent language are needed in patent processing. In order to evaluate these tools, manually annotated patent corpora are necessary. Thus, we constructed a corpus of English language pharmaceutical patents belonging to the class A61K, on which several layers of manual annotation (such as named entities, keys, NucleusNPs, quantitative expressions, heads and complements, perdurants) were carried out and on which tools for patent processing can be evaluated.
This work was supported in part by the National Innovation Office of the Hungarian government within the framework of the project MASZEKER.
