US PATENT OFFICE

Needless to say, the European Union obliterates the United States when it comes to efficiently utilizing the internet to organize patent data. The US patent website appears to have been created (and maintained) by a committee of web developers trained only in the art of confusion.

Nevertheless, click HERE to see a list of patents where Erich Huzenlaub's work is referenced. Unfortunately in this link, there are also other references to technological patents that are unrelated to Erich Huzenlaub (but the US Patent Office website does not let one parse those out!). Also unfortunately, the US has opted to use an outdated version of QuickTime to display patent filings as opposed to Adobe PDF. In most cases therefore, the data will not even appear on your screen. With that stated, I must again thank the European Union for its good work on the EU patent search website.
