Yes, they could, but I'm not that good a programmer anymore. Even with the Search Wizard, I barely got these to work. I can provide details of how the patent office's pages work to someone more skilled than I.> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [DQSD-Users] Patent Searches, by number or keywords

Sounds like a good idea - any takers? Looks like two of them (patno and pat) point to the same source, while the third (patapp) does not - does this complicate things?

The first two are the same host, but different HTML pages, so they are all three different pages. For those who insist on purity of programming, there is a way to combine the first two - point to the generic patent search page and use prefix parameters to signal a patent number. This still leaves two searched for issued patents and published applications.
