PEDANTIC: A Dataset for the Automatic Examination of Definiteness in Patent Claims

Valentin Knappich, Annemarie Friedrich, Anna Hätty +1

Patent claims define the scope of protection for an invention. If there are ambiguities in a claim, it is rejected by the patent office. In the US, this is referred to as indefinit…
