Kenneth Yip at Apsator e-mailed me to point out that they have a new version of their FireFox plugin available. See: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3142/. He notes:
…the new version introduces two breakthrough features. The first feature is to preview patent drawings in PNG format. There is no need for TIFF plugin. This not only reduces computer resource loading, but also allows printing the patent diagrams directly from the USPTO patent search result page. The second feature is to use Google Translate to translate patent abstract directly. These two features features hopefully will continue improve the effectiveness in reading patents. A guideline on how to use Aspator can be found at https://www.slideshare.net/patentinfo/how-to-use-aspator-in-your-patent-search.
Other features he lists:
- Read searched patent abstracts, claims, drawings and bibliographies from USPTo and esp@cenet on one single page.
- Patent classification analyzer.
- Direct access to esp@cenet and Google Patent Search.
- Download PDF of a patent through pat2pdf.org.
- Download multiple patents in one single PDF file or in separate PDF files.
- Store your search records.
It is a very hand tool worth checking out.
