Mathematica Used for U.S. Patents

For those of you who are interested in staying abreast of
new uses of Mathematica, here's another way in which
Mathematica is helping to establish technical standards.

All mathematical formulas in all U.S. patents and in the
official U.S. Patent Gazette are now being typeset with
Mathematica. Reed Technology and Information Services
(RTIS), the holder of the Patent Database contract, is
using a customized Mathematica package and interface
to create both printed and electronic forms of mathematical
formulas from the original materials submitted by inventors.

This new typesetting tool streamlines patent processing,
decreasing processing time and increasing mathematical
accuracy. The Mathematica system automatically creates
multiple electronic files for each formula, including EPS,
TIFF, notebook (NB file), and MathML, making them
easily output to both print and electronic media. More
details can be found at http://www.wolfram.com/news/patents.html
