USPTO + Google = Bulk patent/trademark data

By nipper, The Invent BlogJune 02, 2010 at 04:29PM

Via this press release, the USPTO and Google have teamed up to distribute bulk USPTO data via a Google page:  https://www.google.com/googlebooks/uspto.html.

The good news:  easier access to USPTO data.

The bad news:  it is BULK data.  Don’t expect it to be sexy, or easy to access/use.

Let’s hope that Google (or someone else) starts doing some cool things with the BULK data…

Thoughts?  The comments are open.
