GetIPDL downloads patent documents from JPO, USPTO, esp@cenet and other free patent document delivery sites. It can download texts and images. I recommend you to use it with a browser, because GetIPDL has no searching feature.
| WARNING ! |
Please don't use for indiscriminate downloading even if it can do automatically. Such an act is forbidden primarily, and if some free IPDLs would close by such an act, it may be pressed for social responsibility. Be careful that an anonymity nature of the internet is not so high. It is easy to find that you do not browse by a normal browser. Moreover, free IPDLs are offered for the small and medium-sized enterprises or individual inventors because of the purchase of patent official reports is difficult for them. If you can choose another methods, please choose it, especially, when you want to get a huge document. |
