CA 2562490

To facilitate legal research, companies, such as Thomson West, provide subscription-based online information-retrieval systems. Seeking to improve these and related IR systems, the present inventors recognized researchers often overlook some types of documents, such as legal encyclopedias and treatises that may be useful to them. Accordingly, the present inventors devised systems, methods, and software that automatically search for other types of documents not specifically targeted by user queries. One exemplary system automatically submits a user query for legal opinions to first and second databases, with the first storing legal opinions and the second storing non-opinion documents, such as headnotes from the West Key Number System, articles from American Law Reports, and/or articles from American Jurisprudence.

Pour faciliter la recherche, des sociétés telles que Thomson West proposent des systèmes de récupération d'informations en ligne fonctionnant sur abonnement. Désirant améliorer ces systèmes de récupération d'informations et des systèmes similaires, les inventeurs ont constaté que les chercheurs passent souvent à côté de certains types de documents tels que les encyclopédies juridiques et les traités, qui peuvent leur être utiles. Par conséquent, les inventeurs ont conçu des systèmes, des procédés et un logiciel qui servent à rechercher automatiquement d'autres types de documents qui ne sont pas spécifiquement visés par les requêtes des utilisateurs. Un système d'exemple adresse automatiquement une requête utilisateur pour les avis de droits à une première et à une seconde base de données, la première base de données stockant des avis de droit et la seconde base de données stockant d'autres documents tels que les sommaires de West Key Number System, les articles d'American Law Reports, et/ou les articles de American Jurisprudence.
