Cross-posted from the Google Public Policy Blog and the Inside Search Blog Google Patents : the Prior Art Finder and European Patent Office patents. Today we’re happy to announce the addition of documents from four new patent agencies: China, Germany, Canada, and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). Many of these documents may provide prior art for future patent applications, and we hope their increased discoverability will improve the quality of patents in the U.S. and worldwide.Chinese dual-drive bicycle , a German valve for inflating bicycle tires , attach a Canadian trailer to your bike , or read the WIPO application for pedalling with one leg , those and millions of other inventions are now available on Google Patents. Google Translate , all patents are available in both their original languages and in English, and you can search across the world’s patents using terms in any of those languages. When there are multiple submission languages, you can move between them with a single click on the tabs at the top of the page, as shown in the screenshot below:Posted by Jon Orwant, Engineering Manager
