The service offers extensive patent information including full-text documents, file histories, assignment records, and classification data. It features specialized datasets for different patent types, including utility, design, and plant patents, along with examination data and public PAIR access. The API enables detailed patent searches, bulk data downloads, and real-time updates on patent applications and grants, making it essential for US intellectual property research and monitoring.
