1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
receive a prescribed search query from a computing device;
in response to the receiving the prescribed search query;
acquire a base group obtained with the prescribed search query, wherein the base group is a set of documents concerning a prescribed intellectual property right;
retrieve, from a plurality of external locations accessible via a computer network, the set of documents, wherein the set of documents includes documents; and
calculate, for each document included in the set of documents, each value as each first index based on a parameter concerning the document, a first weight linked to patenting of the document, and a second weight as a second index indicating a competitive power of an intellectual property right in the set of documents,
wherein said each first index indicates a relative strength of right of the document in the set of documents, and represents a relative relation of the document to other documents of the set of documents in terms of said first index;
compare said each first index of said each document in the set of the documents to a prescribed threshold value, and eliminate a portion of the base group based on the comparison of said each first index to the prescribed threshold value;
retrieve, via a network connection, a present value of at least one indicator related to an applicant of the document;
determine a final value based on the present value of the at least one indicator;
display on a screen of the computing device, to a user, the final value and a remaining portion of the base group after the eliminating the portion of the base group,
wherein the parameter is at least one of a ratio between a first period and a second period, wherein the first period extends from a filing date of a patent application until a patenting date of a patent resulting from the patent application, wherein the second period extends from a prescribed reference date until a scheduled date, the scheduled date is associated with a lapse of patent right of the patent, and wherein the second weight is linked to a country in which the document is applied, and
wherein a citation performance that indicates a number of citations of the document in the other documents of the set of documents is reused as the parameter concerning the document, and wherein the citation performance is related to the first index and the second period;
evaluate a greatest first index of the first indexes for a prescribed applicant out of documents in the set of documents to determine the greatest first index of the first indexes to be as a third index; and
present on the computing device the third index as a competitor formidability index.
