How do I view patent images (and why are the images missing from some patents)?
You can see a thumbnail view of the front page image or representative drawing for each of your patents right from your Result Set page. To see these thumbnail images, select Thumbnail from the Show options on the Advanced or Boolean search forms. Or, you can choose Thumbnail from the selection box at the bottom of your Result Set and click Refresh. Click a thumbnail image to open the PDF for that patent. If the patent does not contain an image (or if the image, for some reason cannot be distinguished from the text) the thumbnail on the Result Set will show an image of the front page of the patent instead. Thumbnail images are available to Unlimited and Premier subscribers only. Patent images can also be accessed from the Integrated View. Both high-resolution and low-resolution versions are available, click to choose which you prefer. An occasional distortion or error may result if an image page scans poorly or is missing. Patent images may not be available for older patents. Please co
