Hello Rene,
There are a number of systems that automatically index documents of all
sorts (both patents and non-patents literature). They don't necessarily
file patents according to the conventions used by the various patent office
classification systems but they generally do a good job of organizing
documents by similar content.
For a small review I wrote three years ago see the URL below from the PIUG
Knowledge Base:
http://www.piug.org/pattools.html
For something a little more up to date please take a look at the article I
wrote for Searcher magazine on Patinformatics (the phrase I use to describe
various patent analysis techniques).
http://www.infotoday.com/searcher/oct02/trippe.htm
There are also a variety of other tools by companies like Autonomy, SEMIO
and InXight that work with patent documents.
I will also be at the Nimes meeting if you would like to speak to one
another.
With Best Regards,
Tony
