Re: Need Papers From Patent Office
By Les Kinney

Ed Gloeggler wanted to know if he could obtain patent filings for the Sandel's Violano -type inventions. The answer is "Yes." Some of the larger public libraries have records of patent filings including all the schematics. But your best is to go to one of the several (maybe nine or ten) regional patent libraries throughout the United States. Many of these are located at major universities; or you could go the patent library in Washington, D.C.

For a list of the locations go to any one of the "Federal" Government Bookstores usually located at major federal buildings and obtain one of the US Patent Office publications that are for sale at these locations. These publications will have a list of all the regional patent repositories around the U.S.

You also might be able to call the Patent Office in D.C. for the locations of the regional offices in your area. I hope that is of some help
