Does your lawfirm specialize in Patent or Business Law?

Do you need quality Patent content for Search Engine Optimization?
Want to issue semi-automated Patent Letters for a fee?
How about Trademark, Articles of Incorporation, and Business Setup Leads?    

This website was custom built to illustrate an idea and capability.

If you would like to implement the system let us know.

An explanation of USPC data:

Patents in our database adhere to the USPC categorization system, the predecessor to the Cooperative Patent Classification system in use today. Why? Because our data precedes the move to the new system. Expired Patents will not use the new CPC system until roughly 2030, 20 years beyond their first usage.

On January 1, 2013, the USPTO moved from using the United States Patent Classification (USPC) system to the Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) system, a jointly developed system with the European Patent Office (EPO).
