Hi Scott: I got burned by using the then free IBM patent data base as the basis of all the links on my web pages. But when that got sold and became a commercial operation all my links died, so now I only link to the USPTO and have also learned that you can NOT just cut and paste URLs since they use a strange dynamic method of assigning the URL that is guaranteed to NOT be valid in the future.
I do use Pat to pdf and sometimes http://free.patentfetcher.com/Patent-Fetcher-Form.php when I want a copy.
