      abstract = {To obtain patent protection, a patent must fulfill  statutory patentability requirements examined by a patent  office. Such examinations are mostly performed manually and  are quite time-consuming. Therefore, we suggest a  computer-based process for the assessment of patentability  by means of a mathematical-logical approach comparing  patents with semantic structures. In order to make such an  assessment, we compare the feature combinations of patent  claims with the pertinent prior art. For proof of concept,  the process has been tested successfully on an  US-application claiming a method for raising a crane boom  which can be categorized as non-patentable with regard to  the requirement of non-obviousness. The result is  consistent with that of a USPTO patent examiner, which  underpins that at least under certain conditions not only  patent examiners but also applicants and third parties can  assess the chance and scope of protection for claimed  inventions and patent applications with regard to  patentability by our process.},
