Google Presents Patent Search

A patent is an exclusive right granted by a state or by an organization especially created for this reason that allows owners to use the inventory for a specific technology.

Yesterday, I told you about the new patent registered by Google for its search engine result page that helps the company to ensure that nobody will copy the layout of the page.

Today, Google released a search engine created especially for searching patents that will help you search for full text in the U.S. registered patents. Google team posted a message on the official blog to announce the new release and to present the feature of Google Patent Search.

"Today, we're excited to be releasing the beta version of Google Patent Search, which makes it easy to search the full text of the U.S. patent corpus and find patents that interest you. Start your exploration here or visit the Advanced Patent Search page to search by criteria, including patent number, inventor, and filing date. You can view images of original patents online.

Google Patent Search uses much of the same technology that powers Google Book Search, so you can scroll through pages and zoom in on text and illustrations just like you can with books," Doug Banks, Software Engineer, said.

As the Google employee sustained, Google Patent Search can be an extension for the public domain government information that is meant to allow visitors to inform with ease about patent and inventors. Google's service is based on the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) service so you're able to find only patents filed in the U.S.

Google already modified the service because the search engine giant discovered some bugs, so the company decided to remove the save and print options until an improved version is available.
