Did you have any changes on the download feature. For example, it was possible to download specific parts of the results (prepare download > document > PDF > Section). More specifically, under section part, it was possible to select claims, drawings etc. Currently, it is only allowed to select Bibliographic data and/or legal status. see

Dear ktysmsk,

The download of selected sections is no longer available - as it appears that you download documents in PDF format, you may select "Publication" instead of "Document" in the "What" drop-down list.

Please let us know whether this helps.

Best regards,

Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm in the same situation. Still getting same error message.

I don't have access to specific features or changes in download functionality of any particular platform or system. However, if you are referring to a specific database or search platform, I suggest checking the platform's help or support documentation for more information on their current download features and any recent changes or updates.

It's possible that the platform you are using may have made changes to their download feature, or that the specific search results you are trying to download may not have the option to download specific sections such as claims or drawings. In that case, you may need to download the entire document and then manually extract the desired sections using a separate tool or software.

Alternatively, if you have specific requirements for downloading patent documents, you could consider using a specialized patent data provider or tool that offers more advanced download options and formats, as well as additional data analysis and visualization features.
