pre-2003 Patents

This table lists 3745 patents.  The patents were gathered through two processes.  One was a direct key word search.  The second was referral by patents discovered through the key word search.  The patents date back to 1898.  The reason for including all of the referenced patents is to provide a quick search capability for people doing RFID related patent searches.

All entries have patent number and title.  Most have issue date and some have the inventor.
