Language Universe, Inc Chapel Hill NC
(http://www.languageuniverse.com) uses a patented method for teaching
called "PI Language Method". PI=progressive intuitive. I am assuming
that the patent is granted in the US. I want to download the patent
document from USPTO website and find the name of the patent attorney
who handled that patent.

Question:
Please let me know the patent number, the name of the attorney/ firm
and their website.

Hello.

Patent No. 5,649,826
July 22, 1997
Method and device for teaching language 
http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=/netahtml/srchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=5,649,826.WKU.&OS=PN/5,649,826&RS=PN/5,649,826
Inventors: West; Stephen G. (Chapel Hill, NC); Meade; Paul D. (Chapel
Hill, NC)
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Jenkins, P.A.; Richard E.

This is definitely the right patent since Stephen West and Paul Meade
are listed as executives at Language Universe:
http://languageuniverse.com/management.html 

There is only one Richard E. Jenkins who is a patent attorney in North
Carolina. He has a web site at:
http://www.jenkinswilsontaylor.com/richard.asp

search strategy: uspto.gov, patent title: language and method, city:
chapel

I hope this helps.

Many thanks. Great job in very short time.

When I click at the link:
  
http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=/netahtml/srchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=5,649,826.WKU.&OS=PN/5,649,826&RS=PN/5,649,826

I get "This page cannot be displayed."

Can you get to the site with the link? Or You need to follow some
route? If you to follow the route, what that route is? You cannot
attach a file with your response, can you?

What browser are you using? 

I tried the link in two different browsers (Explorer and Mozilla), and
it worked in both of them.

Try going to this page:
http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/srchnum.htm
Type: 5,649,826  in the box and press the search button.

I already tried that.
I found the problem - totally unexpected one!
My IP Address falls under 202.156.*.*
I found much to my surprise that USPTO has blocked a large number of
IP addresses. It has blocked 202.156.*.* also. Thus IP addresses
between 202.156.0.0 to 202.156.255.255 (the highest digit in IP
address is 255) cannot access USPTO databases. I have written to USPTO
to allow me access.

Can u suggest a solution, beside going to a friend's and waiting for
USPTO's response?
Can u send me the patent document file? But I guess we cannot give
email address to each other. Can you send the file thru Google
Answers.

Regards

Bull's eye. Very quick turnaround. Solved an unexpected problem of
blocked IP address too. Thank you, Juggler.
