Just stumbled upon this and thought it was worth mentioning. If you’re coming up with a product idea and need to check for existing patents, use Google’s patent search at www.google.com/patents. Awesome site. It appears, at first glance, to be pretty comprehensive, and searching through patents allows you to view the text of the patent including any drawings. Great for seeing if you’re trying to market an already patented product, or for generating ideas and improvements to your own products. Check it out.
