Free patent searching (PR#8396)

Hi,

I saw that you have some information on R&D at http://bugs.r-project.org/cgi-bin/R and I wanted to let you know about a free patent searching site, www.FreePatentsOnline.com.

The site has more data and features than the US PTO, and we are continuing to work on expanding the site until it has world-wide patent coverage.

If you have an appropriate place on your web site, a link would be much appreciated!

Thanks for your time, and please fee free to let me know if you have any suggestions for improving the site.

Sincerely,
Erik Reeves
