It's a software engineering technique to abstract and reuse software components, inspired by a similar concept in (physical) architecture. I was wondering if you wanted to do something similar, but of course with legal ah, entities (? What are contracts?) rather than software.
The wikipedia article I link to is not very good but the book is a staple in software engineering classes.
Alas, it's not entirely clear how to translate the idea into the contract context. There are many repeating patterns and structures in complex contracts, but they don't serve the same roles as patterns in software.
