5 Concluding Remarks
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We have proposed a new IR method for patent documents addressing both semantic and syntactic properties by combining a mixed model of content and form based methods; the first stage of DLSI method narrows down the search space by content and the second template method pins down the document by syntactic search on words. We are able to do so, mainly because the DLSI matching in the first stage captures those documents based on content while the template method can now pin down the patent documents having a highest similarity in form with the query. An experimental verification of the present approach is now underway.</Paragraph>
