Patent lawyers : Google gives you patent search

From Kevin Newcomb at SearchEngine Watch, Google has launched a patent search for finding U.S. patents going back more than 200 years.

Google Patent Search uses the same technology behind Google Book Search, with similar ability to perform full-text searches, scroll through pages, and zoom in on text and images. An advanced search feature lets users search by criteria like patent number, inventor and filing date.

Wow, Dennis Crouch now has some competition.
