Wow - a lot of movement since I last checked in! I'm not sure about formal styling for citations in a bibliography, but a typical shorthand style used by patent attorneys would be (the brackets are my explanation, not the formatting): US 1,234,…

adamsmith - thank you. I recently moved from academia into patent law, and have been very surprised at the lack of consistency and structure in patent documentation. One thing I would say about that table, and I mentioned it above, is that the Zo…

Thought I'd try again, but no luck with Google Patents. However, there's not really any need to use GP, as FreePatentsOnline has everything that GP has, plus more - and the translator is working really well. Ajlyon - thank you for fixing it. I thi…

FPO seems to be working now! To the right of the filing date and issue date, appears "y m d", which I assume is meant to be the date format. However, the issue date is the US format of "09/28/2004". Any comments about this? (yes, Google Patents st…

Still no change with either of these issues, although the update button did switch to 'updated' (as opposed to just 'up-to-date' I'll try again in 12 hours or so, unless someone has another idea...

FPO is not giving me filing date, even though I updated translators. I've now restarted FF, and Google Patents still gives me an error.

I'm getting a "could not save item" error when using Google Patents, even though I updated the translators.
-
Purely FYI, because Google Patents only has US patents, I'd suggest that it is less useful that FreePatentsOnline.

I must say, I'm really impressed by the responsiveness of this forum! Ajlyon - FPO is working better now, although "filing date", which is very important in the patent world, is not coming through. I tried it on a US patent application, and a P…

I've now installed Zotero (I uninstalled it about a year ago), and have tried, but still can't make it work with patents. To test, I picked one patent, and tried to add it to Zotero using 4 methods (I'll list them in the order they appear in the …

Ok, thanks - I'll give it a go.

ajlyon, do you mean "Chicago Manual of Style (Full Note with Bibliography)"? That's the closest match I can find to what you're saying.
-
Thank you, both of you, for that help. I'll give it a go. Adamsmith - could you explain what you mean by 'drag'? The number of references is small, especially compared to scientific writing, so I'd be happy to do it manually, too, if needs be.
-
When I went to try this, I found that, despite the crash, the references had, indeed, been imported. Very strange. I'm not quite ready to make the switch yet but Zotero really looks like something special. There's a lot of stuff on the web that has …

Hi Dan, I did both the things you said and no luck. Just to confirm, the original file was .txt, not .ris.tst. In any event, I renamed it to .ris. I found the line to which you referred - it was a reference to an external pdf, right? I deleted it …

Hi Dan, I've taken you up on your offer and emailed you the file. If you do find any errors, please let me know. Thanks, Paul

It's 1.52MB. Firefox just hangs. I'm talking about more than 5 mins, not just a few seconds of unresponsiveness. My whole computer slows down until I kill the firefox process.
