Good morning on the last day of 2023.
Many thanks to those who responded with suggestions about finding early
GB patents. Although excellent, they did not help me with either my
specific problem, or the more general one of the almost impenetrable
opacity of the GB IP Office.
So I'm still looking for a professional searcher. Ah well, that's next
year's problem!
I wish everyone happiness and sunny skies in 2024, and I hope that it's
somewhat better than the appalling turmoil of 2023.
Cheers, John.

Good afternoon,
As part of my research into the history of Australian rural fences (I
said it was off-list!), I am trying to get copies of GB patents for
fence-related items. Although I am pretty good at searching, I find GB
patents the most difficult to find. Espacenet picks up some, but only
a fraction of the many that I am certain exist.
Many GB iron-makers manufactured a range of posts etc. and many were
exported to Australia in the 19th and early 20th centuries. I need the
patents to finish a book I am compiling on Australian fence posts and
droppers to complement my 2022 book "Australian wire strainers".
My specific question: can anyone suggest the name of a company / sole
trader who searches for GB patents? I'm quite happy to pay a
reasonable amount in return for a complete set of PDFs of GB patents
which match my keywords (fenc*, wire, post, strainer, etc.) in either
the titles or specifications. I also have names of many of the
patentees marked on various posts etc. manufactured in GB, or listed
in catalogues.
Any suggestions would be most welcome!
Many thanks, John
