genetic patent data, standardization and CAMBIA Patent Lens

Whew ....

It was getting old being the only resource that was
integrating all this stuff.

We will start posting code on how to collect this data
for what its worth. For example, here's one way how we
are getting the WIPO stuff.

http://patentinformatics.fdns.net/WIPO/

Hopefully in the end we can establish an official
resource that everyone can rely on. Rather than then
this crazy scattered system that is currently in
place.

I would rather have this stuff accessible through a
service like the Open Patent Service rather then going
through Cambria. Hopefully both options will be
possible.
