Incorrect HttpResponse Status when no results found [v 3.2]

Dear OPS team, I encountered an undesired behaviour while working with the new v3.2 API. In 3.1, when no results where found for a query (my example: applicant name = 'xckjsdlfkjsdlfkj', something that is very likely not existing), the response was 200 OK , and an empty JSON object. That is expected...

Re: Hidden chars in "List of standardised applicant names" C

Dear OPS support,

It affects all parts of the JSON response that may contain an array. When the JSON response is based on XML data of the form, <items> <item>1</item> <item>2</item> </...

Inconsistency in JSON response

Dear OPS team, while working the API in JSON response format, I encountered a problem, and maybe you could fix it somehow in a future API version: I access the published-data/search/biblio endpoint and query publications related to certain applicant names.

Is "famn-id" persistent in EPO OPS?

Dear OPS Forum members, I am working with the extraction of patent families for certain application names. I understood, that we can not retrieve a list of all patent families for an application name, but only for a publication ID. That is ok for now, but I would like to know, if the "famn-id&q...
