Free Patent Searches
Even though I believe software is not something that should be patentable under current insane patent laws, I'm applying for a couple software patents. The cost of doing simple searches is pretty high. Enter FreePatensOnline to save the day. At least partially. We'll see how it goes.
The problem with patent searching today is that you have a choice of free, barely productive search tools or expensive premier tools aimed at people who do this all the time. There's nothing for the in-between crowd. This kind of thing is important for the DIY-people who want to follow the patent/copyright approach instead of the Creative Commons / GPL route for something they are doing, and I'm one of them at the moment.
