Around a year after the release of WizPatent Express Wizpatent have released WizFolio Web 2.0. WizFolio is a free browser-based programme which simplifies the collection and sharing of documents, references and patent information. WizFolio collects and stores references to patents and journals and will, where possible, find the PDF for the patent or journal to which these references refer. These references may then be organized with ease through a drag and drop interface. The standout feature of WizFolio is its ability to share selected files with either the public or with a selected list of other WizFolio users. A user may also upload documents to their WizFolio account and similarly chose to make these documents available to other users. Where the uploaded file is a scientific journal, WizFolio will produce a reference by retrieving information from journal databases. The user interface is intuitive and anyone familiar with the windows operating system will find it simple to use. Click here for a demonstration of WizFolio.
