You need PDFs and Word versions of patents for much of your work.

GitPat Gets PDFs for You

All PDFs GitPat provides come directly from the source — the USPTO itself
GitPat supports text input in just about any format — feel free to copy-paste the body of an email with a list of patent numbers in it — GitPat will parse through that text and extract the patent numbers for you
Download up to 100 patents at a time
GitPat is fast. GitPat can fetch up to 100 patents in only about 2 minutes (The speed you obtain will depend on your internet connection.)
GitPat is current and stays current — GitPat can fetch patents as old as patent 3,000,000 and because GitPat communicates directly with the USPTO, GitPat can get you patents issued as recently as yesterday
GitPat gets you all types of patents — GitPat supports fetching utility patents, design patents, plant patents, and reissue patents. GitPat can even get pre-grant publications for you
If the USPTO issues a patent with a Certificate of Correction, GitPat gets you the most-current version, even if that corrected patent was published just yesterday

GitPat can create full-text Word documents for you, making it simple to copy text into briefs, presentations, and claim charts
GitPat eliminates the tedium and frustration of dealing with special characters and automatically processes any special characters in a patent’s full text so you no longer have to. GitPat will find and replace the special USPTO codes for math symbols, Greek characters, etc. for you
GitPat will even format subscripts, superscripts, and italics for you, too
GitPat uses the patent language stored on the USPTO’s website to create these Word versions of patents. We don’t rely on OCRing PDFs, so you know your language is identical to the USPTO’s language. If the USPTO has it — GitPat does, too.
