Patents Scraper
Patent search by text, assignee, inventor, office and date — with abstracts, CPC classes and citations.
Pay per result on Apify. Runs that return nothing cost nothing; Apify's free plan includes $5 of usage a month, and Apify Bronze, Silver and Gold subscribers get 10%, 20% and 30% off.
Search patents worldwide the way the website does — full text, assignee, inventor, patent office, granted or application, utility or design, language, and a date range on the priority, filing or publication date — and get one row per patent with publication number, title, snippet, assignee, inventor, all four dates, the offices its family is filed in, a drawing thumbnail and a direct PDF link.
Turn on «open each patent page» and every row gains the full abstract, all inventors, CPC classifications, legal status, the patents it cites and how many patents cite it. One search request returns 100 patents, so a 1,000-patent sweep is ten requests and about twenty seconds.
