Google Patents

if u are in the business of creating intellectual property, it is in your best interest to get hold of a patent before anybody esle does..

and Google has come out with a new search engine to search through patents that are filed under IP law in the U.S.

it comes in handy if you want to know wherther or not your brilliant idea which suddenly popped up in your mind during your loo time (one of my friends actually told me that he seems to generate his best ideas when he is in the bathroom) has already been patented..

here is the link: Google Patents
