FreePatentsOnline is currently one of the most popular patent databases. It offers search options not available from USPTO like word stemming, proximity search and you can save your search queries in user accounts.
On the other hand, Google Patent Search up the ante by allowing users to search for keywords within the text images. This makes Google the leader when it comes to ferreting out older patents which are stored only as image files.
We tried to combine the best of both worlds in WizPatent Express. WizPatent Express allows you to batch download patents for FREE. Save your search queries and patents directly into your harddrive for quick access and increased confidentiality.
The design philosophy of Patent Express is to make the searchand retrieval of patents as easy as possible. You don’t have to waste time learning a new search interface as WizPatent Express directly abstracts all search results from public databases like USPTO, Espacenet, and even popular patent databases - FreePatentsOnline and Google Patent Search. You can continue searching the way you are used to.
We have made WizPatent Express into a convenient package and fully integrated it with
Internet Explorer. However you need to install Dotnet Framework 2.0 from Microsoft. Although we make Dotnet Framework installation automatic, Microsoft has made the DotNet Framework pretty bulky and you may find installation a bit tedious. Sorry not our fault as the installation of WizPatent Express itself is pretty fast.
You can download a free trial version of WizPatent Express here:

The trial version has all the functionalities of a paid version.
Appreciate your feedback.
