Works great
Saved me $3 ... Love it.
Ok but ...
It works but the searching is essentially useless unless you know the patent number or the inventor has a unique name. You need to be able to search on a combination of multiple criteria. Take a look at the advanced search in the European Register, eSpacenet.net.
Please add this and your App will be lightyears against its peers.
Useless
Unless you have all the info for the patent as in the EXACT title or assignee, attorney etc. You pretty much can't fins anything. There are little to no special features worst $5 ever spent I want a refund for this joke app!!!
