Search WIPO's PATENTSCOPE database — the world's most comprehensive international patent index, with ~110 million patent documents across PCT, EPO, USPTO, JPO, KIPO, CNIPA and 50+ national offices — and get clean structured JSON.

This actor turns the WIPO PATENTSCOPE results page into a normalized dataset of publication metadata: application numbers, publication numbers, applicants (assignees), named inventors, IPC classification codes, publication dates, country of publication, and a 500-character abstract excerpt — each row carrying a source_url back to the canonical WIPO record for verification.

Built and maintained by NexGenData. Polite by design: a 2 req/s rate limit, a contact-identifying User-Agent, and a runtime robots.txt check before every job.

🌐 The NexGenData Global IP & Trademark Suite

One office is never enough for IP due diligence — search trademarks and patents across the US, EU, China, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and WIPO. Every actor below is part of the NexGenData Global IP & Trademark Suite, so a clearance, freedom-to-operate, or brand-protection workflow that starts in one office can extend to every office, worldwide.

Trademarks

• EUIPO Trademark Search (EU) — EUIPO + TMview network across 35+ EU/EEA registries.
• Hong Kong Trademark Search (APAC) — the Hong Kong IPD register by mark, class, owner or status.
• Korea KIPO / KIPRIS Plus (KR) — Korean patents, trademarks & designs via the official KIPRIS Plus API.
• Japan JPO / J-PlatPat (JP) — Japanese trademarks, patents, utility models & designs from J-PlatPat.

Patents

• CNIPA China Patent Search (CN) — Chinese patents from the CNIPA database for IP & innovation tracking.
• Japan JPO / J-PlatPat (JP) — Japanese patents, utility models & designs from J-PlatPat.
• Korea KIPO / KIPRIS Plus (KR) — Korean patents & utility models via the official KIPRIS Plus API.
• WIPO PATENTSCOPE (Global) — worldwide PCT & national patents across WIPO's global collection. ← you are here

📊 Sample Output

👁 WIPO PATENTSCOPE patent search — application number, applicants, inventors, abstracts, IPC codes. Prior art, IP clearance, competitive intelligence, patent landscape mapping.

Why teams use this actor

• Patent landscape analysis — map all PATENTSCOPE filings in a technology area (e.g. "diffusion model training") over a year window and feed the dataset straight into pandas, Looker, or your in-house IP analytics stack.
• Freedom-to-operate (FTO) searches — pull recent publications matching a product description plus claim keywords; export to your patent counsel as a structured CSV instead of a stack of PDFs.
• Competitor IP monitoring — schedule weekly runs filtered by applicants (e.g. ["NVIDIA Corporation", "Alphabet Inc"]) to track every new PCT filing from named rivals.
• Prior art research — power R&D teams and patent examiners with a fast, structured search over the WIPO corpus, including IPC code filters and date ranges.
• M&A IP due diligence — capture every filing tied to a target company in minutes and surface the technology stack from their patent family.
• Academic / market research — quantify innovation trends by IPC class, geography, or filing entity over decades of WIPO data.
