Free patent search online

FreePatentsOnline.com provides fast, free patent searching, with powerful features such as PDF downloading, search managment functions, collaborative document folders, and more. Sign up today -- it's free!

The Good:
  • Its free
  • The search is Fast
  • Seems pretty comprehensive
  • Search capabilities are powerful (read the help)
The Bad:
  • Google Ads push information too far down on a page (on a patent)
  • When the search can't find a text-form patent, the resultant page isn't too clear that there is a PDF version (maybe Google Ads cluttering the view)
The Ugly:
  • Not too much except I don't really like the design of the content area on the homepage - too busy looking

  • I agree, it's an excellent site. Lot's of positives to accentuate here. The banners are simply a web reality. Sites like this are expensive to run and a necessary by product of offering a free product that offers so much value to the general public. As a budding inventor, I can live with it.
