The Guide to Downloading Patent Copies has been updated

FINALLY!!!  A new update to the Guide (if you know of any sites/programs to add…please let me know)

PatentMatic.  Free.  Enter patent number and it gives you a summary page with abstract and related patents and a link to download a PDF copy of the patent.  Coverage:  "European (EP), United States (US), ‘World’ (PCT/WO) and Japanese (JP) patents." 

PatentMatic’s site includes a "kind codes" key.  Great way to figure out what "A9" means.
