What's New

Way Better Patents is publishing Weekly Box Scores on each week's patent grants.  We are covering how many patents are granted, the breakdown between Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical and Design patents.  We also look at the Global Indicators - the countries where the first names inventors hail from and the participation by different geographic regions of the worlds.

We are also publishing a business methods watch covering patents in Class 705, USPTO's primary business methods classification and a broader look at business methods covering the classes USPTO identified as alternative places to look for patents with business methods elements.

You can also sign up to have the box scores sent directly to your email box each week.

Please check them out and tell us what you think.
