This is a complete plug and go patent image delivery system. The complete multipage, high resolution images of every granted US patent and every published U.S. application (since 1790) are instantly available to all users on your network with NO artificial limits on access. No per seat fees, no extra software licenses, no per user costs, no per image fees, no extra fees of any type.  Just patents, patents and more patents at your fingertips.

This is a single complete computer server that plugs into your intranet switch or hub (one power cord, one network cable) and is ready to deliver patent data to your users in the first two minutes of operation. The only thing your users need  is a recent version browser such as Internet Explorer to begin using the system (see Note 3 below for supported browsers).  Enter any US patent number (or numbers) and up comes the first page of the first patent (in less than a second). Users can pull up patent images and view them, flipping through the pages or go directly to any page number of any patent. They can request a patent to be printed on the included, attached, high speed HP laser printer.  A special print module using proprietary software ensures that the printer operates at close to its rated laser engine printing speed (have you ever waited and waited and waited for a PDF image file to print? No waiting around with this system).

The on board database tracks each patent by Patent or Application Number and each issue week is added automatically when you insert our weekly subscription DVD, or the USPTO Weekly subscription DVD (we are fully compatible with the USPTO data).

The system allows browsing patents, and paging through patent pages as well as the ability to print entire patent documents or a single page, and also allows you to download entire patent image files to your desktop computer via your browser (in TIF or PDF formats). 

Browsers require no special plug-ins to view the patent image pages in several selectable scaled resolutions for various screen sizes (most browsers also scale images to fit current windows size and  let you zoom for increased detailed study).  With most office networks running at 100Base/T speeds, your network bandwidth will not be a limiting factor.  The system easily services 75 people actively browsing or printing patent images any time of the day or night. The system is designed to deliver more than 1200 ready-to-view image pages  (browser ready) to your network every 60 seconds. That's more than 20 scaled image pages every second.  The entire system is also scalable in that you can use two or more of these servers to increase output bandwidth. They are designed to work together in a parallel fashion, but can also operate in standalone mode as complete backup systems, if desired. 

The data includes images issued up to the end of the last full issue year, and annual updates are very reasonable for follow-on years. The updates are also very easy to install each week (see item 38030, above).  The loading system automatically adds them to the correct drives to keep your entire inventory in numeric order! The system has room for 4 years of updates at current US issue/application publishing levels. The system storage disks all have 3 year replacement warranties and if a data drive failure occurs, we can deliver a replacement disk to you within 2 business days filled with replacement data  ready to plug in an use.

Basic user management and access control is included (User ID and a PIN needed for access - up to 100 user IDs may be assigned) but it can be disabled so that everyone on your network has access to the database with no logon requirements at all. Direct conversion to PDF files for saving or emailing images it also included. 

Product 60003 - Basic Patent Image Delivery System - Price:  $39,900.⁰⁰   
Delivered with all data ready to use * (Just add power and a network) 

* Requires 50% down payment to begin processing order. Balance due on receipt of system. Allow approximately 5 weeks for delivery.  System hardware is fully warranted with on-site repairs for 1 year, and all drives with data for 3 years (shipped overnight, drive replacements are filled with data in 2 business days if ever needed).

If this system sounds too good to be true, give us call and we'll mentally pinch you to show you that you ARE in fact, awake, and we'll send you the full specifications via email and let you test it across the Internet for yourself. Of course you won't get the same speed across the Internet as you would on your internal network, but you'll get the idea.  Call us at 800-832-2823.  And by the way, a slightly modified Dual P9 Image Delivery System is how we serve over 100 law firms and companies with over 500 users across the Internet from our own offices 24/7/365. This is a proven technology in use today, and not some pipe dream someone can try to build for you with vague associated costs.

This is everything product 60004 is, plus a complete full text search system. The on board database includes the full text of every patent from 1976 through the current issue week minus 1 (for processing and indexing), and the text of every published application since 2001 (See note 8, below). The text is fully searchable using a regular expression search engine. Searches are multilevel (next search may use previous search results - e.g.,  L2 AND L3 where L2 and L3 are the sets of patents from previous searches. The patent/application sections are divided into 20 different user selectable indexes to search (e.g., Claims, Title, Current US Class, etc.). Patents are added weekly, and reclassification data is added (updated) every 60 days).  The system also includes all images from 1790 through the end of the current year (2007). This includes Utility, Design, Plant, Reissue, and SIR (H) documents, plus all published applications (2001 through 2006). Images are displayed in native browser images (JPEG) no plug-ins are required (or desired!).

Basic user management and access control is included (User ID and a PIN needed for access - up to 100 user IDs may be assigned) but it can be disabled so that everyone on your network has access to the database with no logon requirements at all. Direct conversion of images to PDF format for saving, copying to CD/DVD or emailing, is also included.

A 50% down payment is required to begin building your system. Balance due when system is ready to ship. Allow approximately 6 weeks for delivery from down payment. System hardware is fully warranted with on-site repairs for 1 year, and all drives with data for 5 years (drive replacements filled with data in 2 business days and shipped overnight express, if ever needed for cost of shipping, only). We also have a spare unit that will be shipped to replace the primary unit until it is repaired (yes, we keep you working. Your time is money, and we understand that!) - Ask for our "P9 Cost of Ownership" document that lists every item right down to the cost of electricity!  (requires execution of a mutual nondisclosure agreement for your protection and ours).

We also include a server copy of Huey PC Remote Control (http://www.gidsoftware.com/huey.htm) so that we can help you solve database problems from our offices using remote access, if you desire it. We highly recommend Huey PC Remote Control  for access to your servers or even your office workstations from remote locations. It's dependable, fast, easy to install and very affordable! What more can you ask from remote access software?

If your school or university doesn't have this powerful patent access capability on its network yet, what are you waiting for? You don't really force your students to try to make use of the public Internet search system at the USPTO or other slow systems, do you?  And you call yourself an "institution of higher learning?"  This is a "drop in the bucket" to allow the easy, fast study of over 10 million ideas.  Don't be the last school in your state to give your students what should be REQUIRED in every university in the US!

Let us build a custom search and delivery system for your entire inventory (text and images) and impress the rest of the IP world with it. Get the respect you deserve from higher ups by keeping your project on time and within your budget, and also earn a little bit of patent envy from your peer agencies. We can fully automate storage, maintenance and delivery of an array of documents including patents, applications, and all of the associated "paperwork" involved in your patenting process. We can even handle the complete automation of the patent approval/grant processing steps including applications, billing, progress monitoring, maintenance, examiner communications... literally  the entire system. Accessible and controlled from the "inside" by your examiners and managers, yet easily usable for applications and checking on progress by your inventors/users. All of this without you having to pay a king's ransom in annual software royalties (we use proven development methodologies).
