By Donald Zuhn --
Rolf Claessen, a patent attorney with Kreisler Selting Werner in Cologne, Germany, recently contacted Patent Docs to let us know about a new tool he is offering on his useful IP portal, IP Newsflash. The new tool, Free Patent PDF Download, allows patent practitioners to download patents and published applications from, inter alia, the U.S., Europe, PCT, and Japan. IP Newsflash offers a number of other free IP tools, including a patent family search tool that compiles INPADOC data from the European Patent Office, a prior art search that utilizes an artificial-intelligence engine developed by IPCentury, and a depository of EP caselaw. In order to use the patent download tool, you will have to become a registered user at IP Newsflash, but the same holds true for another free patent download site that we find useful, FreePatentsOnline. We encourage Patent Docs readers to to give these tools a test drive and let us know what you think.
http://eng.biopatent.cn/ has a Patent PDF Download Tool liste. Hope you can introduce the list to your readers.

PriorSmart has logos of Cambia on its PDF documents.
but actually its multi-language is incorrect.
