The research is the process of patent examination.  The                    computer tool to be called PatentAid, will greatly expedite the                 process of evaluation of the novelty and obviousness of patent                  claims as ruled by U.S.C. 102 and U.S.C. 103.  Once the theoretical             basis is refined and formalized, the resulting implementation of                PatentAid can be progressively extended by addition of new device               classifications to the hierarchy of the knowledge based design                  library.
