If I could somehow know who in the world is viewing which patent(s), I could use that information to my (unfair) advantage. Some attorneys have this concerns that patent assertion entities use such data to identify and acquire valuable patents.
We could use the encrypted Google links in our reports/emails to avoid that (if that happens).
How? Simply use https://encrypted.google.com/patents/US20070035812
Instead of http://www.google.com/patents/US20070035812 to hyperlink patents when giving Google links in reports and emails.
