SumoBrain News
, launched in the summer of 2008, provides an alternative to the other pay services in the patent search domain. SumoBrain offers cross-collection searching, portfolios, alerts, and other collaboration tools, as well as bulk PDF capabilities. Sumobrain is architected for future deployment of high-end features to cater to intellectual property professionals, attorneys, and users in the corporate world. SumoBrain was conceived as a subscription service, but the web needs fewer barriers, not more. Thus SumoBrain will be completely FREE.

SumoBrain's mission is to illuminate knowledge by making all the inventions of mankind readily searchable by consumer and business users alike.

Sumobrain has several new releases scheduled for the 4th quarter of 2008 and throughout 2009.
