Legal Data Retrieval Service: Unexpected behaviour

Post by nhantien » Wed Feb 22, 2023 10:04 pm

Hi OPS Team,

I tried the following query:

Code: Select all

http://ops.epo.org/3.2/rest-services/legal/publication/epodoc/US2020225226
and there seems to be no legal information for this publication from OPS. However, you can clearly see the legal events for this document on Espacenet by searching pn=US2020225226A1 and clicking on the Legal events tab. The response received from the query does not look like the sample response from the OPS API reference either (section 3.5 Legal Service, page 118). I am a beginner at OPS so I would really appreciate your guidance.

Best regards!

Hi

Can you try again? We had some issues in OPS Legal last week, but those were fixed on the same day. I can see events for the US below today.

Regards
Vesna for OPS support
