1) About
Google Patent Search http://www.google.com/googlepatents/about.html
Q.
Where does this patent data come from?A. All patents available through
Google Patent Search come from the United States Patent and Trademark
Office (USPTO). Patents issued in the United States are public domain
government information, and images of the entire database of U.S.
patents are readily available online via the USPTO website.
Q.
How does it work?A. Using the same technology that powers Google Book
Search, Google has converted the entire image database of U.S. patents
into a format that’s easy to search. You can search the full
text
of U.S. patents from the Google Patent Search homepage, or visit the
Advanced Patent Search page to search by criteria like patent number,
inventor, and filing date.
Q. Can I submit
a suggestion or feature request for Google Patent Search?A. Absolutely.
Our team is working hard to improve Google Patent Search, and we
encourage you to send us any suggestions you have. Just email us at
