Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

epo-patent-search scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to epo-patent-search — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

EPO Patent Search Skill

Search European patents using the EPO Open Patent Services (OPS) API and Google BigQuery with EP country filtering.

When to Use

Invoke this skill when users ask to:

  • Search for European patents
  • Find EP prior art for a technology
  • Check legal status of EP patents
  • Explore patent families across jurisdictions
  • Conduct EP freedom-to-operate analysis
  • Research the EP patent landscape for a technology area
  • Get full-text EP claims or descriptions

What This Skill Does

Provides access to European patent data through two methods:

  1. EPO OPS API (European Patent Data):

    • Full-text EP patent retrieval (claims, description)
    • Legal status and procedural history
    • INPADOC patent family linking
    • Applicant and inventor search
    • EP publication types (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2)
    • Designated contracting states
  2. BigQuery (Worldwide Patents, EP Filter):

    • Fast keyword search across 100M+ patents with country="EP"
    • CPC classification search for EP patents
    • Filing trend analysis
    • Cross-jurisdiction comparison

Required Setup

BigQuery (Primary)

Prerequisites:

  1. Google Cloud Project (free to create)
  2. BigQuery API enabled
  3. Application Default Credentials configured

Setup:

gcloud auth application-default login
export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT=your-project-id

EPO OPS API (Optional, for full-text/legal status)

Prerequisites:

  1. Register at https://developers.epo.org/
  2. Create an application to get Consumer Key and Secret
  3. Set environment variables

Setup:

export EPO_OPS_CONSUMER_KEY=your-key
export EPO_OPS_CONSUMER_SECRET=your-secret

How to Use

When this skill is invoked:

  1. Determine search type:
    • Keyword search: use BigQuery with country="EP" for speed
    • Full-text retrieval: use EPO OPS for complete claims/description
    • Legal status: use EPO OPS for procedural data
    • Family search: use EPO OPS INPADOC family service
    • CPC search: use BigQuery for broad classification browsing

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
