You can also retrieve patents at no cost and with no registration from the US PTO:
http://patft1.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/srchnum.htm
Search by number, then click IMAGES to see the pages of the patent (they are transmitted in TIFF
format). There is a great TIFF plugin, AlternaTIFF:
http://www.alternatiff.com/
using this plugin, you can print, save and do other file functions directly in your browser.
I like to save the TIFF images into a folder and then import them into a PDF document.
Another no-cost/no-registration way to search and download patents is decribed here:
