There was a time when there only were one yellow page company because of the patents, I believe it was Sprint, held on yellow pages until there patents expired. Then the market became flooded. That's 20 years!

How do we know a patent that defines a true solution to local search has not recently been granted a "Notice of Allowance" by the USPTO?

The patent office only shows patents applied for after 2001. Any applied for patent before 2001 is not available for public search at there web site.
