Internet Patent News Service

Internet Patent News Service

The Internet Patent News Service is a mostly daily news service dealing with information about the patenting world. Topics include announcement from various Patent Offices around the world, stories about who is suing who, interesting new patents and styles of patent drafting, statistics on issued patents (with a focus on software patents), reviews of patent books and computer programs, and biting commentary if I happen to be in a lousy mood that morning.

Additionally, contributions are solicited from anyone with some patent issue they have an opinion on, as well as explanations from patent lawyers about some of the issues raised in the news items.

Also we have a Web site with a variety of files on patent issues at: http://sunsite.unc.edu/patents/intropat.html which amongst other things has the US Manual of Classification with patent title retreival by patent class/subclass.

SERVICE IS FREE

To subscribe to the daily news service, please send the message NEWS to the following email address. Also, if you don't mind, please include some information on what you do and how you might use this patent information. Forward the request NEWS to:

patents@world.std.com

Please pass the word, especially to those not on the Internet or that don't read USENET. Patent information is very valuable for finding out what others are doing, for locating new technologies to license, and to measure rates of progress in other fields.

For $40, I sell an MSDOS hypertext archive of past news stories, currently over 400 taking up a few megabytes of space. To order, send a check to the address below.

If you have any questions, please contact me at patents@world.std.com and I'll get back to you.
