Missiontrek Announces Cooperation with PATENT.INFO

Missiontrek, a leader in online research software, and PATENT.INFO, a resource of online patent information, introduce the Patentstein Browser(TM).

(PRWEB) January 28 2004--Missiontrek Ltd. Co. today announced that it's been cooperating with PATENT.INFO, an online Patent Information resource, to launch a Cartagio-derivative, called the PATENTSTEIN Browser(TM), designed to be the ultimate tool for patent searching and for saving and sharing the search results.

Consistent with the public policy to promote the wide dissemination of technical information, more and more patent search data is becoming publicly available on the web. Therefore, it's becoming more and more difficult to justify the costs associated with accessing expensive proprietary databases for which there's a charge associated with every transaction. The simple fact is that more and more technology managers are performing their own patent searches (and not necessarily very well, given the demands on their time). The PATENTSTEIN Browser takes advantage of this continuing trend by providing the searcher and technology manager with a tool pointing them to the latest publicly-available sources of technical data, as well as allowing themto access, capture, edit, organize, and share their work in a re-useable form.

The PATENT.INFO Resource is leveraging the benefits of the PATENTSTEIN Browser to help it develop an online network of patent searchers to serve tech managers in the fields of software, biotech, and medical technology. PATENT.INFO believes that the software will revolutionize how patent searchers use the web to package their work product and how clients will more fully benefit from the work they've paid for.
