Patent Sites for Collectors
Patents are very useful tools for collectors who want to know more about
the items they are collecting. Individual sections of the Patent
Search Information Site detail how to find patents
using free resources on the Web.
Another helpful approach is to find web sites where someone else has
already done the research to locate the patents for collectible and antique
items. Some examples of these kinds of sites are listed below.
See also the the U.S.
Patent Issue Years/Numbers page--a quick guide to locating
the year a patent was issued when you find a patent number on a
collectible item.
