Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method for interactive natural language query processing includes receiving a natural language query comprising a plurality of words. The received query is tokenized into individual words. The one or more tokenized words are then collapsed. An intersection of the collapsed words is then determined and one or more results are selected based at least in part on the intersection.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed July 29, 2003. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended July 29, 2023.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 29, 2025.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
