Locating Patents

December 2007 

Q. I found some patents through USPTO.gov but I couldn’t open whole file including images. Can you tell me how I can search for these patents?

A. If you were unable to download files from the USPTO, I would recommend searching for the patent using a different source. Try Micropatent, PatentFetcher, or Google Patents. You might also find the Engineering Library guide to finding patents useful: http://astech.library.cornell.edu/ast/engr/find/patents.cfm.

If you are not able to locate the patent you are looking for, please let us know the title and/or number of the patent you need and we will be more than happy to assist you in locating it.
