We offer free front-page searching and true full-text searching is
priced at $20 per day for unlimited use. We provide document "previews"
of selected information for free. We are slightly more modular in our
pricing so we do charge for individual documents downloaded. Most Q-Pat
customers find that we cost less, but as they say "Your Mileage May
Vary".

Features that we have over Q-Pat include patents back to 1971, Post
Issuance information for $20 per month flat rate (among the best in the
industry I might add,) and the ability to download scanned patent copies
of patents back to 1790 for $3 each. As we say in our ads:

"We have the world's largest US Patent Database"

Anyway, I just thought I'd mention it.
