>Google Patents focuses on improving patent quality. //

Could you go in to that a bit. There's been fulltext, full image databases with proximity searching and bespoke classifications and such for a while, how has Google Patents improved on that. How is it better than Espacenet for example?

When I looked at patents a lot the biggest help would probably have been being able to get decent translations of Korean/Japanese/Chinese/etc. patents - I gather you were involved in an EPO project to do that. What other goodies have I missed?

Worth noting is that this is fine in most jurisdictions as long as your not trying to commercialise the build.

I think they meant improving the quality of actual patents (by giving people tools to combat bogus patents), not necessarily improving on the patent browsing experience (though I'm sure they would argue that they try to do that too).
