On the Development of Intellectual Property Mining

Perhaps, awareness of a difference between deep and surface knowledge will allow us to communicate our philosophy and methodology.

Intellectual property mining is an exercise in knowledge representation. The exercise will be successful as a function of professional domain expertise. We might easily think that algorithmic representation of statistical clusters is about the formative process of creating new intellectual wealth.

But the knowledge captured by indexing processes may be "only" about a regular communication of surface process - rates charged for product or technology, use events, normative evaluation.

Otherwise aggressive intellectual property mining introduces too much change into the economic system.
