PatDL - New tool for Patent Professionals

As a scientific researcher or a patent professional, you may need massive and important information frequently from patents. However, very few countries's patent offices could provide the service of full-text downloading to the public, which will bring inconvenience to you. PatDL is a software of Patent Searcher and Downloader which is custom-made for general scientific researcher and patent staff. If you want the best speed of getting patent documents, PatDL is the best choice for you.

What PatDL can do:

* Automatically Download patent’s full text, abstract, legal state in batches; and merge all of the pages to one file in PDF, including the abstract and legal status. You can also merge the pages you select to one file by yourself.
* Search patents from the most important databases about patents, such as EPO V3 database, SIPO Chinese, SIPO English, TIPO Chinese, USPTO PatFT, USPTO AppFT, JPO English
* Download patents from several databases, EPO V2 database, EPO V3 database, SIPO database, USPTO database(including granted US patents and published US patent applications), JPO database (including all JP patents), JPO English(PAJ), TIPO database (Taiwan patent gazette ), TWPat database( Taiwan patent document), SIPO English
* Automatically analyze the type of the full text and download them.
* Extract biblio.data to EXCEL file quickly for analyzing patents. (View Example)
* Automatically split a patent into several parts, and download each split simultaneously even when the full text of a patent or application exceeds 100 pages. PatDL could help you get them precisely and quickly. Multiple connections are opened to each patent, and the result is the most efficient exploitation of the bandwidth available. Whatever your connection, PatDL makes sure that all of the bandwidth is utilized. Thus PatDL could drastically reduces the download time and make your download absolutely easy for any kind of patent or application.
* Continue re-downloading if connection is lost or computer crashes and don’t need to start from the first page again.

ATM use to become free in India from April 2009

The RBI has observed that the charges levied by different banks on ATM transactions vary and a customer is unaware of the charges that will be levied for a particular ATM transaction, if that ATM does not belong to his bank. This generally discourages the customer from using the ATMs of other banks.

The RBI has now framed the following charges

Sr . No.	Service	Charges
1	For use of own bank's ATM for any purpose	Free (with immediate effect)
2	For the use of other banks' ATMs for balance enquiries	Free (with immediate effect)
3	For the use of other banks' ATMs for cash withdrawals	v Free from 1 April 2009 v No bank shall increase the charges prevailing as on 23 December 2007 v Banks which are charging more than INR 20 per transaction shall reduce the charge to a maximum of INR 20 by 31 March 2008, irrespective of the amount being withdrawn

The RBI has clarified that banks may themselves determine the service charges in case of:

v cash withdrawal using a credit card; and

v cash withdrawal in an ATM located abroad.
