I was horrified to see that the
full text patent data base is going
to end soon. It didn't sound like
there will be an immediate
replacement to your service. Is
this true?
Also I didn't quite understand why you are shutting down. To force the patent office to comply with the Paperwork Reduction Act? Geez, I hope that's not it. Do you really want to penalize users of your service for the inactivity of the patent office?
Lack of funding? If this is the case, could you charge some fee for the patents and keep going? I would happily contribute or pay for the services provided, especially if you could take credit cards. I wanted to donate earlier, but the procedure looked complicated and time-consuming.
Please find a way to keep the patent data base going until there is a good alternative!
