Search for US Patents on Google
Google has launched a Patent Search beta project. The new patent search allows users to look up and search the full text of US patents. You can choose to either search by patent number, inventor, filing date, or try your luck in the search box. Patents come from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and can be viewed as both text and original images which are great to look. Some of these documents on record date back to the 1790's. There are patents for everything listed here. Including one for a 1914 popcorn machine, a 1999 Jumping snail, and a 1920's Ouija board. Searching patents on the patent search beta is smooth. The inner workings tie in with and utilize a lot of the features that come from Google's Book Search. So if you have the need to search for patents, Google has you covered in one quick and easy location. Don't forget to check out patents for the Artificial leg, and the Pocket Protector.

There are better patent serachers like http://www.delphion.com/simple that exist for years and unlike Google have patents from all over the world.
I´m not attempting to promote them, but to be fair and for you not promoting Google you should point alternatives.

I think it's supposed to be news, not explicitly a product review or promotion.
It's sort of ironic to say that Google isn't inventing anything new with their Patent Search; shouldn't looking at patents tell you that few things in life are completely original?
