Data Update: 11/6/2024
The PatentSearch API is updated to contain data through 09/30/2024.
Updated Text Endponts
For clarity and efficiency, granted and pre-grant text endpoints have been separated.
Granted text data can be retrieved at /api/v1/g_brf_sum_text/
, etc.
Pre-grant text data can be retrieved at /api/v1/pg_brf_sum_text/
, etc.
The json keys for these endpoints' responses have been updated correspondingly to g_brf_sum_texts
, etc.
Related Applications Response Schema Adjusted
For consistentcy with other endpoints, responses from the /api/v1/publication/rel_app_text
endpoint will now be delivered under the json key "rel_app_texts" instead of "rel_app_text_publications".
Bug Fixes
- An internal sorting field "patent_id_zero_prefix" that was previously available in the public endpoints has been removed.
- Sorting behavior for patents whith inconsistently zero-padded IDs has been fixed.
- The endpoint for "other references", previously inaccessible, has been fixed. The endpoint address has been corrected from "api/v1/patent/otherreference" to "api/v1/patent/other_reference" for consistency with other endpoints.
- A bug preventing successful GET requests to the "ipc" endpoint has been corrected. Some POST requests may still produce internal errors.
- The fields
location_latitude
andlocation_longitude
in the "locations" endpoint, which were previously inaccessible, have been fixed.
