PatentStorm has a new look and new functionality.
PatentStorm offers full-text U.S. patents from the U.S. Patent Office, including advanced patent search capabilities and full image retrieval in handy PDF format. Whether you are an inventor, a patent attorney, a patent agent or just curious about how things work, this site is for you.
Our full-text patent database goes back to 1976, when the U.S. Patent Office began converting its patents to full text. Everything we offer is free.
PatentStorm is a sister company of Storming Media, a Washington, D.C.-based company that makes Pentagon information more accessible, and LegiStorm, which provides transparency to the operations of the U.S. Congress. If you have any ideas about this site or any other comments, please do not hesitate to write us.
