What problem does it solve?

This skill enables researchers, IP analysts, and product teams to retrieve forward patent citations and non-patent literature cited by a patent from the Zhihuiya database, supporting patent analysis and prior art research.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Forward citation retrieval: fetch all patents and non-patent documents cited by the target patent.
  • Citation analysis: provide structured data suitable for downstream analysis and risk assessment.
  • Use Case: For a given patent US10000000B2, obtain its forward references to evaluate novelty and landscape.

Quick Start

Ask the system to fetch forward citations for a given patent ID or publication number.

Frequently Asked Questions about linkfox-zhihuiya-cited-references

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I retrieve forward citations for a patent number?▼

To retrieve forward citations, provide a patentId or patentNumber to query the Zhihuiya database. The service returns structured data containing total citation counts alongside separate lists of cited patents and cited non-patent literature.

What is forward citation analysis and what data does it include?▼

Forward citation analysis traces all references listed by a target patent, providing both cited patents and cited non-patent literature. This structured data supports prior art research and patent landscape evaluation for IP analysts.

Do I need an API key to query patent references from Zhihuiya?▼

Yes, you need a valid LINKFOXAGENT_API_KEY to authenticate requests via the tool gateway. The service uses this key to access the Zhihuiya patent forward citation endpoint and return reference data.

Can I use a patent publication number instead of a patent ID for citation retrieval?▼

Yes, you can provide either a patentId or patentNumber for citation retrieval. If both are provided, the system takes patentId as the precedence input to query the Zhihuiya forward citation data.

What's the best way to get non-patent literature cited by a patent?▼

Querying forward citations through the Zhihuiya database retrieves both cited patents and non-patent literature in a single request. You receive structured citation lists with total counts for downstream risk assessment.
