Patent Searching For New Inventors - Searching By Patent Number

By Mary Bellis, About.com Guide

When you click on the images button you will be able to view high resolution images of the patent.

This is the only place to view the patent drawings that often accompany a patent.

Any patent that has expired must be viewed by using the images button and that includes patents that are over a hundred years old.

You may need a special viewer to take a look at the images.
