      abstract = {This second edition provides a systematic introduction to  the work and views of the emerging patent-search research  and innovation communities as well as an overview of what  has been achieved and, perhaps even more importantly, of  what remains to be achieved. It revises many of the  contributions of the first edition and adds a significant  number of new ones. The first part "Introduction to Patent  Searching" includes two overview chapters on the  peculiarities of patent searching and on contemporary  search technology respectively, and thus sets the scene for  the subsequent parts. The second part on "Evaluating Patent  Retrieval" then begins with two chapters dedicated to  patent evaluation campaigns, followed by two chapters  discussing complementary issues from the perspective of  patent searchers and from the perspective of related  domains, notably legal search. "High Recall Search"  includes four completely new chapters dealing with the  issue of finding only the relevant documents in a  reasonable time span. The last (and with six papers the  largest) part on "Special Topics in Patent Information  Retrieval" covers a large spectrum of research in the  patent field, from classification and image processing to  translation. Lastly, the book is completed by an outlook on  open issues and future research. Several of the chapters  have been jointly written by intellectual property and  information retrieval experts. However, members of both  communities with a background different to that of the  primary author have reviewed the chapters, making the book  accessible to both the patent search community and to the  information retrieval research community. It also not only  offers the latest findings for academic researchers, but is  also a valuable resource for IP professionals wanting to  learn about current IR approaches in the patent domain.},
