containing an image of the patent, enabling easy analysis of the patent documents. Clicking on a
register link launches a pop-up window with the patent office register extract for that patent. This
allows investigation into the examination status of a pending patent, opposition of a granted patent
and/or payment of maintenance fees. Please note that no extra charges apply to accessing or
downloading documents of any kind.
