Patent Databases

by mloew Posted Feb 6, 2004 (Edited Mar 2, 2004)

To search for US patents and patent applications, the United States Patent and Trademark Office has the following database:

www.uspto.gov/patft/index.html

To view the tiff images on the USPTO website, it is recommended that you use the one of the viewers referenced on this page:

http://www.uspto.gov/patft/help/images.htm

I copy the individual images to a Word document and save the entire patent electronically in either Word or as a PDF file.

Search at the European Patent Organisation on the esp@cenet: http://ep.espacenet.com

Please Note: 1 is Bad, 10 is Good :-)
