If Google is listening, Scholar should actually tell if some research paper is covered by a patent or not and vice versa.<p>For example :<p>- Paper : <a href="http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/hoppe/proj/paratexsyn/" rel="nofollow">http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/hoppe/proj/par...</a><p>- Patent : <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/patents/US7567254" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.co.uk/patents/US7567254</a><p>There's loads of examples like this and it's hard to find them.
