Wikipedia Citations in Patents Up 59 Percent
,----[ Quote ]
| Patent Librarian Michael White recently
| posted an interesting graph on the number of
| U.S. patents referencing Wikipedia articles:
|
| The number of U.S. patents issued last year
| that contain one or more references to
| Wikipedia articles totaled 809, a 59
| percent jump from 2008. Several years ago
| the USPTO banned patent examiners from
| using Wikipedia as a source of information
| for determining patentability of
| inventions. However, examiners and
| applicants continue to cite it.
