Question about Patent Batch search

Post by dorisyywang » Mon May 29, 2023 1:10 am

Hi officer,

After using this platform, I found it very useful but still don’t know how to do batch search in EPO, like I got an excel list of patent publication numbers/patent names, and I really want to know if it is possible for your product to input my table and search all companies who cites these patents, and output some results? If it is possible, it will be so nice of you to give me some suggestions.

Best Regards,
Doris

Hi,

You have to have a script done for your list, but for having a look at patents citing other patents, you can do a query like this one:

../rest-services/published-data/search/?q=ct=WO2005021820

Again, you cannot insert your table per se and get bulk output; you have to have a script to query number by number using this query. This is the only way the API works for citing references.

Better solution would probably be if you use PATSTAT Online or Global instead: https://www.epo.org/searching-for-paten ... tstat.html

Hi officer,

may I know where can I use script and how can I do it?

If I want to do the citing for a batch of patents, do I need to do like this:

../rest-services/published-data/search/?q=ct=WO2005021820
../rest-services/published-data/search/?q=ct=DE102021131133A
../rest-services/published-data/search/?q=ct=JP 2020148530A

Thanks for your kind help.
