If you want to see the prosecution history and documentation of a patent, you can go to the PAIR portal of the uspto[1]. After going through a Captcha, you can then search for a patent# or application #, and then click on the "image wrapper" tab.
It's very enlightening to see patents go through rejections and resubmittals, and what the explanations are for rejection or why a rejection should be reconsidered.

- kyrra 14y agoIf you look the patent up on Google Patents, you can download all the "Public PAIR data". It's 56MB for this patent. Inside of the zip there is a file located at: 12101832-image_file_wrapper/12101832-image_file_wrapper.tsv It's a tab-delimited version of the table on the USPTO site for "image file wrapper". It also has all the PDFs in that directory. http://www.google.com/patents/US7479949 http://www.google.com/patents/US7479949
