What is patent-search?

A tool for finding US patents through the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s public search service. It can search by keywords, titles, inventors, publication numbers, and combined conditions.

Search USPTO patent records, limit or paginate results, use advanced field and Boolean searches, and optionally download matching PDFs. Importing the downloaded patents requires a separate pipeline step.

It provides a way to discover relevant patent candidates without manually browsing patent pages. Searching and downloading are kept separate so results are not added to a knowledge base by accident.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.

Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00028	$0.01415
Opus 5	$0.00014	$0.00707
Sonnet 5	$0.00006	$0.00283
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00142

Security

Grade A, and why

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 12d 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.

patent-search — USPTO 专利搜索

通过 USPTO Patent Public Search (PPUBS) 搜索美国专利，无需 API Key，无需注册账号。

同时保留 USPTO Open Data Portal (ODP) API 作为可选后端（需要 API Key），用于更结构化的申请号查询。

注意：本命令仅用于搜索发现，不会直接入库。 如需将专利纳入知识库，请后续通过 patent-fetch 或 --fetch 下载 PDF 后放入 configured patent inbox（fresh 默认 data/spool/inbox-patent/），再执行 scholaraio pipeline ingest 走正常的专利入库流程（含公开号去重）。

用法

关键词搜索（默认 PPUBS，无需 API Key）

# 基本搜索
scholaraio patent-search "artificial intelligence"

# 指定结果数量
scholaraio patent-search "neural network" --count 20

# 分页
scholaraio patent-search "semiconductor" --count 10 --offset 10

搜索并自动下载 PDF

# 搜索并自动下载所有结果中的专利 PDF 到 configured patent inbox
scholaraio patent-search "quantum computing" --count 5 --fetch

高级查询语法（PPUBS）

PPUBS 支持字段限定检索，基本语法为 ("term").field.：

# 标题检索
scholaraio patent-search '("artificial intelligence").title.'

# 发明人检索
scholaraio patent-search '("Smith").inventor.'

# 公开号检索
scholaraio patent-search '("US20230123456A1").publ.'

# 布尔组合
scholaraio patent-search '("artificial intelligence").title. AND ("neural network").title.'

使用 ODP API（需要 API Key）

若已配置 ODP API Key，可通过 --source odp 切换到 ODP 后端：

# ODP 关键词搜索
scholaraio patent-search "artificial intelligence" --source odp

# 按申请号查询详情（ODP 支持更完整的结构化元数据）
scholaraio patent-search --application 17123456 --source odp

ODP API Key 配置方式：

config.local.yaml：

patent:
  uspto_odp_api_key: "your-api-key"

环境变量：

export USPTO_ODP_API_KEY="your-api-key"

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.

patent-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository ZimoLiao/scholaraio (571 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 1,415 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
