Patent_client NPM

Overview

A set of accessors to publicly available intellectual property data, inspired by the Django ORM API

This is a port (IN PROGRESS) of the Python patent_client package to ES6 Javascript. The main difference is that each request returns a native ES5 Promise, rather than a result.

Currently supports:

United States Patent & Trademark Office
- Patent Trial & Appeal Board API - Full Support
- Patent Examination Data - No Support
- Patent Assignment Data - No Support
United States International Trade Commission
- Electronic Document Information System (EDIS) API - No Support
European Patent Office - Open Patent Services
- Inpadoc - No Support

QUICK START

To use the project:

    const patent_client = require("patent_client")
    
    // Fetch a PTAB trial
    const PtabTrial = patent_client.PtabTrial
    PtabTrial.objects.get("IPR2016-00831").then(trial => {/* do something */});

    // Fetch a PTAB trial's documents
    PtabTrial.objects.get("IPR2016-00831").then(trial => {
        let docs = trial.documents
        /* do something with the documents */
    })
    // OR
    const PtabDocument = patent_client.PtabDocument
    let doc_iterator = PtabDocument.objects.filter("IPR2016-00831") // Returns an async iterable of documents

    //Same as above, but with async/await
    async function get_trial(trial_number) {
        return await PtabTrial.objects.get("IPR2016-00831")
    }

    async function get_docs_from_trial(trial_number) {
        let trial = await PtabTrial.objects.get("IPR2016-00831")
        return trial.documents
    }
