There was a patent collection in Sunnyvale, California. It took quiet a bit of time to even search one category.

Putting the collection online has saved a lot of money and time.

It is pretty likely that both the Soviets, China, France, the UK and anybody else had their own groups of paid researchers with access to the Washington DC patent library.

Since the US is still the nation filing the most patents, and with some of the highest rates for patent lawyers, and spread over 4 time zones, being online should be a net advnatage for the US.

Compere the US to many nations which have one or two major dominate cities, where most intellectual and commercial activity is centralized.

Paris, London are examples.

So almost anything that improves communication or transportation - internet, interstate highways, air travel, 800 phone numbers - will tend to have a benefit for the US.
