I wanted to suggest adding www.freepatentsonline.com to the page. This web site has free PDF downloading (instead of having to page through TIFFs like at the US PTO). It is by far the best free patent searching site. I saw that you have a page that discusses patent-related resources at http://blog.broadbandmechanics.com/2005/09/canters_law_1.

Richard metions Canter’s Law #1: it basically says: support all formats and don’t take sides, because the user doesn’t care about your geeky format wars. As Marc put it : “No human cares about what format is supported. Only us. Flickr proved that they could be completely format agnostic and provide a compelling experience to all.” [...] […] Richard MacManus is writing an interesting series of posts about microcontent design (more here).
