Thanks!

The comment is not store in the DB, but as a file in the WIKI system.
I have found them with some find,xargs,grep magic, and they are being
deleted now. But it will take some time before they are out of google.

Hmm. I just realised I deleted a project of mine a few days ago.
(my laptop is unstable, and I needed to clean it up for daily backup)

I had written a simple perl script script that read all patents and
generated a list of words sorted after their frequency in the claims.

I then manually checked them to finde the high likelyhood non-swpat
words like you do, and used a second script to find the files of the
corresponding patents, as they were good candidates for non-swpat.

If you want to do something similar then the patent files are in
~zqex/PatData/pat
