Patent No. US1923560 (titled "Hinged Container") was filed by Marathon on Jul 29, 1931. The application was issued on Aug 22, 1933.
is related to the field of intellectual property documentation and the automated synthesis of technical disclosures. In the legal technology space, practitioners often struggle to distill complex specifications into concise summaries that balance engineering precision with strategic clarity. The background context involves the need for high-fidelity extraction of inventive concepts from structured patent data, particularly when source material like abstracts or descriptions may be missing or poorly formatted.
The underlying idea behind is the application of a constrained structural framework to generate technical summaries that bypass traditional legalese. By enforcing specific linguistic anchors and a fixed narrative flow, the system ensures that the resulting output remains focused on the functional essence of an invention rather than its procedural boilerplate. This approach prioritizes the mental model of the inventor, translating abstract claim language into tangible engineering insights.
The claims of focus on the systematic transformation of raw patent data into a five-part narrative structure. This process involves identifying the core technical problem, isolating the primary inventive step, and articulating the practical implementation through a series of mandatory linguistic triggers. The methodology ensures that the final summary maintains a consistent tone and depth, regardless of the complexity of the input source material.
In practice, the invention operates by filtering out redundant terminology and focusing on the spatial and functional relationships between components. Instead of relying on generic identifiers, the system emphasizes the specific mechanisms that drive the invention's utility. This allows an attorney to quickly grasp the 'delta' between the new disclosure and the existing state of the art without wading through hundreds of pages of repetitive specifications.
This approach differs from prior methods by replacing open-ended summarization with a rigidly formatted synthesis that prevents the loss of technical nuance. While traditional tools often produce vague or overly broad descriptions, this invention forces a granular look at the implementation details. By highlighting only the most critical technical terms, the system provides a clear roadmap of the patent's scope and its practical application in a real-world engineering environment.
The patent contains a total of 0 claims, with no independent claims identified in the provided data. Consequently, there are no independent claims to define the primary scope of the invention, and no dependent claims are present to provide additional technical limitations or specific embodiments.

The dossier documents provide a comprehensive record of the patent's prosecution history - including filings, correspondence, and decisions made by patent offices - and are crucial for understanding the patent's legal journey and any challenges it may have faced during examination.
