Summary:
I thought I’d seen most of the relevant patent-related sites to be found. They include massive databases of patent info and of companies seeking technology to patent, descriptions of drug trials of patentable pharmaceuticals, and even compilations of patent attorneys. This site also has a listing of drugs coming off of patent in the next month or so. Where there’s a yin, though, there is also a yang, and I discovered that shortly thereafter when I found the site is aimed mostly at subscribers. I wasn’t about to pay $975 to view the content myself, but the free database preview looked promising.
