Initial post 11 MAR by JuneRose229
Hello, I just renewed my premium membership. The main reason for my membership is so I can use the link "VIEW US PATENT OFFICE PATENT". When I click on the link I get the message { "message" : "Too many requests" }. This was actually a problem before my membership expired last year, but I'm now just getting around to informing you of the problem. Hoping it can be resolved especially now that I've renewed my membership. Thank you.

We are sorry, but this is not a problem created by HMF. US PTO has changed their programming, so that direct links to their patents are no longer possible. While we are continuiing to add patent information, we have to access the USPRO site directly, as follows:
- Find "Patent Public Search" on Google
- Click "Basic Search"
- Add Patent number (e.g. PP36535) in Quick lookup

As a further hindrance, you will usually receive a message "Error status. There are too many requests in your user session. Please try your request again later."
- Disregard this message
- Open a second browser window and repeat the above steps.
--> Second time is 100% successful!

Do you know when this change was made?
