I took a ferw minutes to check out this new site. The information in the
newspapers is not exactly accurate. The site allows you to search 2 million
patent files. You can come up with a brief description and I think even the
drawings (I was not on a graphical system at the time so I couldn't test this
part). At that point, you can order the full-text of the patent from Optipat.
Although Optipat licensed this service to IBM to put out on the Web, I don;t
think they are going to lose anything since they will get all those orders
from many people who never even knew a service like that existed.
Must go off to check it out some more.
