The “Auto Complete” feature is really helpful.

A few additional points:

i. For now, the results link to the USPTO site

ii. You can enter multiple patents per query. For example, enter the following 3 patents by patent# or patent title into the autocomplete box:

1. 6787531 (“Pharmaceutical composition for use as a contraceptive”)
2. 6177416 (“Oxyiminopregnancarbolactones”)
3. 6610670 (“Cyclodextrin-drospirenone inclusion complexes”)

Xyggy Patent returns patents that are similar to all 3 patents in ranked order.

By comparison, Google Patents “did not match any documents” by patent numbers:

http://www.google.com/patents?q=6787531%2C+6177416%2C+6610670&btnG=Search+Patents

Or, by patent titles:

http://www.google.com/patents?q=Pharmaceutical+composition+for+use+as+a+contraceptive%2C+Oxyiminopregnancarbolactones%2C+Cyclodextrin-drospirenone+inclusion+complexes&btnG=Search+Patents

With Xyggy Patent, imagine that you’re passing “one or more” patents as the query and getting back similar patents in ranked order.
