{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}search_patents — Search USPTO patent applications and grants. Use `query` for free-text keywords ("lithium battery", "crispr"). Optional structured filters: `applicant` (company name — use ALL CAPS like "APPLE INC." for best match), `filed_after` / `filed_before` (filing date range), `granted_after` / `granted_before` (grant date range). Results include title, application number, filing date, first applicant, all applicants, inventors, status, classification. Note: ODP filtering is approximate (weighted match, not strict equality) — counts and ordering are best-effort. Powered by the USPTO Open Data Portal (data.uspto.gov).get_patent — Fetch a single USPTO patent application/grant by application number (e.g., "16/123,456" or "16123456"). Returns full metadata: title, inventors, classifications, status, prosecution events.search_inventors — Search USPTO patent applications by inventor last name. Returns matching applications with title, inventor list, and filing date.Code samples (curl / TypeScript / one-click client install), schemas, and the live playground are on the pack page:
