Somehow, we must have missed updating the year headers on the hit list pages
for the past month -- and no one jumped on us for it until *now*? 8;)
The search results are correct, and do include all patents through 1/29/02;
they do *not* cut off at the end of 2001. It's just the hit list page
headers that are incorrect, and they will be corrected a.s.a.p.
Thanks for catching it.
Regards,
Larry Larson, USPTO
