Abstract and fulltext data for patent specification (B1)
Posted: Tue Apr 12, 2016 11:21 pm
From the documentation, full-cycle allows one to retrieve all published documents for an application.
For instance, the endpoint below presents results for EP1000000: A1 document (from 20000517) and B1 document (from 20030212).
http://ops.epo.org/rest-services/publis ... full-cycle
From the output, it is possible to note that "abstract" information is available for the application (A1), but it is missing for the specification (B1).
Also, when checking for fulltext availability, the link below informs that both "description" and "claims" are available for A1.
http://ops.epo.org/rest-services/publis ... 1/fulltext
However, those information are also not available for B1, with the endpoint below leading to "SERVER.EntityNotFound".

My question is: how can one retrieve abstract and fulltext information from a patent specification (B1, B3, B8...)?
