Thanks,

Hi,

OPS and EP Publication server both offer API for loading image data in PDF's, yes: https://www.epo.org/searching-for-paten ... vices.html

OPS FAQ's can help explain how to download PDF's: https://www.epo.org/searching-for-paten ... s/faq.html

Hi Vesna,

The API: http://ops.epo.org/3.2/rest-services/pu ... ata/images

for downloading images is the only API I saw which returns data in PDF Format. However, this downloads the original document only.

Is there an alternate API for:

http://ops.epo.org/3.2/rest-services/pu ... cdb/biblio

which downloads the Bibliographic Information in PDF Format?

Hi,

There is no such thing as biblio in PDF, at least I never saw any at any patent office. If you want Biblio only you always only download 1st page of any publication.

Biblio by definition is everything on the first page of any patent publication that follows WIPO's standard minus representative drawing from that first page.

Hi,

I was looking for Bibliography PDF in English for non-English Patent Documents. The way it is shown when we directly do patent search in espacenet.

Downloading 1st page PDF from image document doesn't give the information in English for those documents that are not in English.

Thanks,
Devashi

Hi,

The only thing you can get from our webservices is biblio in XML or JSON as in the picture. You can transfer any XML into PDF on your end if you prefer, but we don't offer any other output format than XML or JSON for biblio.

The URL as in the picture is: .../rest-services/published-data/publication/docdb/EP3432505/biblio

Please note that not all biblio is in English but the biblio that is in EN in Espacenet would also be in EN in OPS.
