SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps you discover how patents are related across different family definitions by querying the Eureka patent data platform for one or more patents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Retrieve Simple Family, INPADOC Family, and PatSnap Family members for given patents.
  • Return structured family data with identifiers and cross-definition references.
  • Use cases include understanding geographic coverage and patent equivalents for cross-border analyses.

Quick Start

Look up the family for a given patent ID or publication number.

FAQPage Schema
How do I look up INPADOC patent family members for a specific patent?

To look up INPADOC patent family members, query the Eureka platform using a patentId or patentNumber, which returns a structured list of related family member identifiers. PatentId takes precedence if both are provided.

What is the difference between Simple Family, INPADOC Family, and PatSnap Family definitions?

Patent family definitions vary by scope: Simple Family covers strict priority links, INPADOC Family includes broader equivalent patents, and PatSnap Family applies a proprietary grouping logic across the Eureka platform.

Can I retrieve cross-border patent equivalents using a patent number?

Yes, you can retrieve cross-border patent equivalents by querying the Eureka platform with a publication number. It returns structured family data supporting geographic coverage analysis across different definitions.

Does the Eureka patent family lookup support batch requests?

The Eureka patent family lookup accepts one or more patents per request, enforcing a maximum of 100 entries with API key authentication to return structured family member lists.

What are the limitations when querying PatSnap Family relationships?

The main limitation is a maximum of 100 entries per request when querying PatSnap Family relationships, and API key authentication is required for the Eureka platform to process the lookup.
