{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}search_patents — Search published patents worldwide via EPO OPS and get back full bibliographic records — title, applicants, inventors, publication date, country, IPC classifications — for each hit. Searches EPO DOCDB, which indexes publications from 100+ patent offices, so Chinese, Japanese, Korean and US documents are all in scope alongside European ones. Example queries: "ta=hydrogen", "in=Tesla", "pa=apple", "txt=neural network AND pd>=2020".get_biblio — Bibliographic data for one published patent — title, inventors, applicants, publication date, IPC classifications. Drawn from EPO DOCDB, which covers 100+ patent offices, so Chinese, Japanese, Korean and US publications resolve as well as European ones. Give the publication number as printed on the document; a trailing kind code such as the "A" in "CN117928705A" is handled for you.get_family — INPADOC family — every related patent publication worldwide covering the same underlying invention, which is how you find the Chinese, Japanese, US and European members of one filing. Give the publication number as printed on the document; a trailing kind code is handled for you.get_abstract — Fetch the abstract text of a published patent from EPO OPS. Give the publication number as printed on the document; a trailing kind code is handled for you. Requires _apiKey=consumer_key:consumer_secret.get_claims — Fetch the full claims text of a published patent from EPO OPS. EPO's full-text collection is narrower than its bibliographic one — European (EP) and PCT (WO) publications have the broadest claims coverage, and a publication outside that collection comes back as found:false naming get_biblio as the route to its title, applicants and abstract. Give the publication number as printed on the document; a trailing kind code is handled for you. Requires _apiKey=consumer_key:consumer_secret.Code samples (curl / TypeScript / one-click client install), schemas, and the live playground are on the pack page:
