“Users will only be able to view patents via HTTP. HTTPS will no longer work”

FWIW, you're often better off not searching, or looking at, patents. If you end up in a patent case, your liabilities will be much higher if they can sufficiently claim you knowingly infringed. Evidence that you searched for patents can weigh against you / your employer. Even if you weren't associated with the infringing product itself.

Another hilarity of the patent system.

This is largely outmoded advice in the wake of in re seagate. Simply having looked at a patent is not enough to create willful infringement.

I've just been informed that in re seagate got over turned last year. Bad news.

Just Google "In Re Seagate Overturned".
