What Company Is Offering:
The myMovo Server is a video search engine which constantly searches the top internet video sites for new videos. myMovo software runs on your computer to stream video search results directly from the content provider, through your computer, to your media player.

The FreePatentsOnline search engine is one of the most powerful, fastest and easiest patent search engines on the web
What Company Is Offering:
The FreePatentsOnline search engine is one of the most powerful, fastest and easiest patent search engines on the web. Their search allows advanced search techniques such as word stemming, proximity searching relevancy ranking and search term weighing to help you find exactly what you are looking for. Latent semantic searching is also available, and our account features let you organize, annotate and share documents, along with other helpful work-flow features.
How It Works:
FreePatentsOnline, the best online site for free patent searching, has had a makeover. In addition to the graphical differences, the site has been completely rewritten to allow more users, more powerful functions, and more data. If you have comments or questions about the new site,
Free Patent search is the process by which prior inventions or ideas are examined, with the goal being to find information that bears close similarity to a given patent or proposed invention.
There are three main types of patents: utility patents, design patents, and plant patents. Utility patents are patents on inventions which function in a new way or to provide a new result. A design patent, as its name implies, is a patent on the aesthetic design or ornamentation of something that already exists. A design patent is granted when the design in question does not change the functionality of the object, only gives it a novel appearance. Design patents primarily contain drawings. Plant patents are patents on types of plants that may be reproduced by grafts and cuttings. Note that patents related to genetic engineering of plants are normally considered utility patents. Utility patents are by far the most common type of patents, and are what people normally mean when they just say "patent".
