About Petapator

Petapator is a fork of Aspator, the well-known firefox patent search tool, from the same developer. For further information of Aspator, please visit https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3142/

Petapator helps you search and read patents and patent applications from USPTO (http://patft.uspto.gov) quicker and more efficient. Bring all patent information to one page and save patent search results.

Petapator is designed for engineers, scientists, patent agents, patent attorneys, and patent executives who need to search patents regularly. There is no more need to open one tab for one patent or click the mouse multiple times before reaching the patent information you need.
