}常见问题
覆盖哪些专利局?
全球申请 — USPTO、EPO、WIPO PCT、JPO、KIPO、CNIPA以及主要国家局。搜索运行在统一的语义专利索引之上。
可以按申请人或发明人过滤吗?
将其作为自然语言查询的一部分传入(例如 assignee:Tesla 电池热管理)。语义索引可在查询字符串中解析实体式过滤。
可以按日期范围过滤吗?
可以。start_date / end_date(YYYY-MM-DD)按申请或公开日期过滤。
与USPTO直接搜索相比定价如何?
USPTO的公共搜索免费但仅支持关键词,且没有语义排序。本API以每次调用80积分(约 $0.08 用户成本)运行跨司法辖区的语义搜索 — 在需要排序的、面向LLM的结果时非常有用。
工具Schema?
GET /api/search/patents/tool-schema 返回OpenAI函数与Claude工具使用定义。
