Google Patent Search December 15, 2006
Thanks to Kevin Dixon (Staff Development) for pointing out this new Google feature!

At this time, it’s probably suggested that a serious searcher continue to use the official search at the USPTO site, but this interface is much easier for the novice!

This database aims to guide researchers to invention-oriented collections throughout the United States. It is designed as a finding tool; full text is unavailable through the site. But, for each collection, a brief summary and history is provided. Users can search by keyword or by collection.
