linking

What about linking to PDFs?

For a variety of reasons, we would prefer that you not link directly to PDFs. If you link to the full-text page (see above), the PDF is still only a click away.

How should I link to this site?

If you would like to link to one of our patents, please link to the full-text pages (not the images). The reason for this is that the full text pages are static, and will always be accessible using the format shown in the examples below:

A link to US Patent 6,000,000 would look like this:
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6000000.html.
