I am conducting research for an article and am trying to identify
patents associated with key Intel products that were invented in
Oregon (and am looking to identify actual patent #s):

- iAPX-432 family of chips and system 86/330 integrated microcomputer
system (both introduced way back in 1981)

- the 216A (a 64k RAM)

- 386, 486, and Pentium Pro processors

- 440BX chipset.

the USPTO has a search page for patents going back to 1976
(http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/search-adv.htm) but because patents
don't identify the products they are associated with, searching there
is rather fruitless unless you really understand the technological
language used.  Also, Intel has obtained almost 7000 patents since
1976, almost 3000 of which were invented in Oregon.

If I get a good answer, I may have some other industries and companies
I need similar searches conducted on.

Iangates --

I've worked a long time in the tech industry, including as a partner
with Intel in several companies.  You'd be lucky to get an answer to
what was invented in Oregon from the Intel patent counsel, as work
often spans multiple disciplines and labs.   They might be able to
associate patents with specific products, depending on how good their
information systems are for tracking patent information.

Whatever accurate answer is available will only be available from
inside the company.
