Patent Grabber makes it easy to download U.S. patents and PCT published applications for free from public patent archives. Instead of going to the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office or European Patent Office web site and loading and printing patent or application pages one at a time with your web browser, you simply give Patent Grabber a list of patents or PCT applications and click "Get Patents." Patent Grabber then downloads every page of all the patents or applications to your Mac while you do something else. And once the patents are downloaded, they are yours to keep and print from Patent Grabber's special Library folder at any time.
DON OSHEA Take a look at Pronto Patent for clean interface that works seamlessly with OS X. It costs $29, but the document is a single .pdf document. (Version 4.0)

ANONYMOUS Please ignore the previous comments if you are on OSX 10.3. This program (at version 3.5.1) works perfectly under OSX 10.3 and is excellent value for money. If you are in any doubt - download the trial and see for yourself. The developer is very responsive to feedback and to queries. (Version 3.5.1)
HARALD The OS 9 dialog is gone. Thanks. I can see the application counting the 5 pages it is downloading.
But WHERE are they going???
On the desktop no "Library" folder is created. When I put the application in the Applications folder, a "Library" folder is created but it stays empty! WHERE are you putting the patents I downloaded?
ANONYMOUS The 3.2 beta should get everything going into the Library folder! (Version 3.2b1)

HARALD Unable to review the so called Mac OS X native beta on Mac OS 10.3.5 because "Classic cannot find a Mac OS 9 system folder on the startup disk to use".
I haven't seen such a dialog for more than two years... I would definitely not call this OS X native.
Please remove all references to Classic from your application. (Version 3.0)
H. MYLER Forget OS X--works only partially, I could never get the PDF's to come down. Only runs under Classic mode--with a cheesy interface. (Version 2.4)
