Two follow-ups if you don't mind. First, is there an online source for patent information relating to scientific material? Second, I've had a hard time finding information on mode of expression. Does that refer strictly to the actual text of the published piece, or does it extend to the "gist" of the phrasing. For example if someone published the statemnt "phenomenon X accounts for processes Y and Z. Can you then say "Processes Y and Z are related to phenomenon X" Thanks again. : Giz
