Patent File Wrappers: At Your Fingertips!

Great news for you librarians whose firms have a patents practice: You can now order Patent File Histories from the lexis.com patent search results. Why is this big news? This is critical patent information you need, from a company you trust:  Reedfax, which has processed and published patents for the US Patent and Trademark office for 35 years.

Patent File Histories contain all public documentation relating to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s processing of specific patent applications. They provide a detailed view of the entire life of a patent application from initial filing to grant (and beyond), and are a critical source of information in the development of effective arguments for or against patent validity.

How can you order Patent File Histories? There is now an option on the lexis.com patent search results page that gives you a direct link to the LexisNexis® Reedfax® File History ordering page. 

It’s never been easier to get the information you need!
