: Philip Brooks’ Patent Infringement UpdatesSumoBrain Now Free
By Philip Brooks
The following is from an October 13, 2008 FreePatentsOnline press release:
SumoBrain, launched summer of 2008, offers an alternative to patent search pay services. As a complement to the hugely popular FreePatentsOnline, SumoBrain provides higher account limits and bulk PDF capabilities. Its architecture is designed for future deployment of high-end features targeting intellectual property professionals, attorneys, and corporate users.
SumoBrain is FREE! SumoBrain offers cross-collection searching, portfolios, alerts, and other collaboration tools, as well as bulk PDF download capabilities. While SumoBrain was conceived as a subscription service, the company has decided to take the radical step of making it completely free.
Patents Online, LLC is the company behind FreePatentsOnline and SumoBrain. The firm?s mission is to illuminate knowledge by making all the inventions of mankind readily searchable by consumers and business users alike.?If you have a patent, it means your invention has been objectively judged as novel, non-obvious, and useful. We catalog over 8 million flashes of genius from over 4 million inventors, a vast compendium of human knowledge. We?ve made this data easily accessible and useful to millions of consumers with FreePatentsOnline - and now via SumoBrain, we aim to do the same for the more hard-core business users, all for free,? said Erik Reeves, CEO of Patents Online, LLC.
New releases are scheduled for both sites in 4th quarter of 2008 and throughout 2009.
The FPO database has 8,812,656 patents from 4,123,399 inventors, the most comprehensive knowledge compendium of everything under the sun made by man. FPO?s new blog, Honoring the Inventor highlights different key inventors and their patents weekly.
