Anyone use the Micropatent Aureka Product?

Do any of you patent and/or business folks use the Aureka services from Micropatent (a Thomson business)?

I haven't had the opportunity to demo it - but it appears to have some interesting tools for patent related projects/issues.

Feel free to email me or drop info into the comments below

Thanks,

Douglas

Aureka is perfect for large corporation, but what about smaller entity. Somebody has try PatentPleeze (http://web.ncf.ca/ex133/)?
and what do you think about it?

I'm familiar with MicroPatent and they do have interesting tools. The majority of their clients are corporations who use the product for a variety of purposes. Firms and consultants tend to use the product on a per engagement basis with some success. Most folks I spoke to found the product well worth some of the complexity. The fact is with the acquisition of the firm by Thomson, I'm not sure anyone can get a better combination of tools and content that they offer.
