Finding a patent

2010-08-17 12:29:06
I hope that someone can bridge the gap in my understanding between the IETF
databases and those of the USPTO.

Looking, for example, at
http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1339/
I see
Patent, Serial, Publication, Registration, or Application/File number(s):  US
12/708048
but when I go to the USPTO to search, they want a seven digit number for granted
patents.  Rather, this looks like an application number (not a patent number)
but my searches for an application with that number fail as well, incorrect
format.

I can search full text and find US Patent 7593340 but that does not seem to
share any data with the IETF tracker.

(Incidentally, were I able to read Finnish, then there is an excellent database
and I think I could retrieve what I wanted - but I cannot:-(

Help appreciated.
