Dear Richard:
this is a nice feature and we are going to use it.
However, users should be aware, that Citation Bridge obviously is based
upon the "References By" Link of the documents within the USPTO
database. Consequently, only referenced US Patents are monitored. Cited
foreign patents as well as "other" references are missed. Citation
Bridge created "citation trees" consequently may be incomplete.
Sincerely,
Joerg Ohms

Hello everyone,
Metrics Group has a new web-based tool that may be of interest to you.
The tool is called Citation Bridge, and it is available through
www.patentcitations.com <http://www.patentcitations.com> . Citation
Bridge allows people to iteratively search forward and backward through
generations of U.S. patent references. The tool is set atop Metrics
Group's new Citation Indicators Analytics Database, which is a database
that analyzes US Patent References. Access to Citation Bridge is free if
users register on the site.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Regards,
Rich Kolar
