I went directly to the Patent Office's web site and searched there, but it gave me a far lower number. I went to my favorite search engines, and then to my less favorite search engines, and no matter how I phrased the search, I could not find where I got that figure. She had never been circular. Then a couple of weeks ago, while I was preparing a presentation on business reference, I found another searchable patent server called Delphion. And that, my friends, is a true fable of the invisible web.
