FREE NEW PATENT TITLES MAILING LIST VIA EMAIL
Starting in late October, I will be offering a free service to anyone
who can receive email from the Internet. The service will be a weekly mailing
of all of the patents issued by the patent office during the last week (or
more specifically, all of the patents listed in the most recent issue of the
USPTO Patent Gazette).
For each patent, the patent title and number will be listed. The
mailing will consist of three files, each on the average totalling 50K of
ASCII text - one file with the mechanical patents, one file with the chemical
patents and one file with the electronic patents. I have attached some sample
listings to the end of this message. With each file there will be provided
some information on how to order paper and electronic versions of patents.
If you can receive and UNZIP a UUENCODED file, those files will be about 25K
in size, for those with smaller mail buffers.
If this catches on, I will probably convert this over to a new USENET
group, something like comp.patents.new or the equivalent. Also, I will be
setting up an anonymous ftp site to store the files being mailed out, as
well as back files. Until then, I will be running only the mailing service.
SERVICE IS FREE - FILES UNCOPYRIGHTED
The service will be free, and the files are not copyrighted, so you are
free to do whatever you want with the information. The mailing-list is open
to anyone on the planet. If this service is of help, a voluntary registration
fee will be appreciated. Given sufficient contributions, I will be able to
post to the Internet and mailing list other patent information, in particular
more information on US patents, such as patent classification and patent
assignee, and brief information on foreign patents (in particular, Japanese
and British). My goal in the long run is to help coordinate hooking up the
Patent Office's APS system to the Internet, and attach to the Internet CDROM
drives with the CDROMs sold by the Patent Office.
Occasionally I will mail out to the mailing list announcements from the
Patent Office and other tidbits of patent information. This will tend to be
short messages. I am not affliated with the Patent Office in anyway, nor am
I am patent lawyer.
TO RECEIVE THE NEW PATENT LISTINGS FILES
If you are interested in receiving these files, please send to me
your name and postal and email addresses, the words MECHANICAL, CHEMICAL
and/or ELECTRONIC (depending which groups you care to receive), and the
words ASCII or UUZIP (depending on which format you want - UUZIP means
you can receive and UNZIP a UUDECODED file). If you want to receive patent
news information (PTO announcements, lawsuit outcomes), send the word NEWS.
If you want to receive all of the files, send the word ALL.
Also, if you don't mind, please include some information on what you do
and how you might use this patent information. Forward your requests to:
patents-request@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.
If you have any questions, please contact me at patents@world.std.com
and I'll get back.
