Intellectual Property Tools

Here is a tool that I’ve developed that make navigating the internet easier:

  • CIPO number search – Allows patent numbers to be entered including commas (eg 1,234,567) in CIPO’s number search page. This is a GreaseMonkey script for Firefox and Chrome web browsers.  Download (also available at UserScripts.org).
  • CIPO database search – Displays additional information on patents/applications displayed in the CIPO search results. This is a GreaseMonkey script for Firefox and Chrome web browsers.  Download (also available at UserScripts.org).
  • Reference numeral checker – Checks the consistency of the reference numerals in a patent’s detailed description.
