Zhihuiya Patent Family

Zhihuiya Patent Family 资源管理器

This 技能 图形界面des you on how to 查询 patent family in格式化ion via the Zhihuiya (PatSnap) 平台, helping users discover Simple Family, INPADOC Family, and PatSnap Family members for given patents.

Core Concepts

A patent family is a collection of patent documents that are related to each other by priority clAIms. Different family definitions capture different scopes of relatedness:

Simple Family: Patents sharing exactly the same 设置 of priority 应用s. These are typically direct equivalents filed in different countries. INPADOC Family: A broader grouping defined by the European Patent Office that links patents sharing at least one common priority, even indirectly. PatSnap Family: A proprietary family definition by PatSnap (Zhihuiya) that extends INPADOC 记录ic with 添加itional heuristics to capture continuations, divisionals, and other related filings.

Each patent in the 响应 carries its own simpleFamilyId, inpadocFamilyId, and patsnapFamilyId, which serve as unique identifiers for the family group under each definition.

Parameter 图形界面de

You must supply at least one of the two lookup parameters. If 机器人h are provided, patent ID takes precedence.

Parameter Type Required Description patentId string Conditionally Patent ID(s). Separate multiple values with commas. Maximum 100 entries. patentNumber string Conditionally Publication / announcement number(s). Separate multiple values with commas. Maximum 100 entries.

Rules:

At least one of patentId or patentNumber must be provided. If 机器人h are provided, the API uses patentId and ignores patentNumber. Multiple values are comma-separated (e.g., "US10000001B2,EP3000001A1"). The upper limit is 100 patents per 请求. 响应 Fields Field Type Description total integer Number of patent records returned data array 列出 of patent family 结果 objects data[].patentId string The patent ID for this record data[].pn string Publication / announcement number data[].simpleFamilyId integer Unique identifier for the Simple Family group data[].simpleFamily array 列出 of Simple Family member patents data[].inpadocFamilyId integer Unique identifier for the INPADOC Family group data[].inpadocFamily array 列出 of INPADOC Family member patents data[].patsnapFamilyId integer Unique identifier for the PatSnap Family group data[].patsnapFamily array 列出 of PatSnap Family member patents columns array Column definitions for rendering cost令牌 integer 令牌s consumed by this 请求 type string Rendering style hint Usage Examples

• Look up family members by publication number

"Find the patent family for US10000001B2"

Call with:

{"patentNumber": "US10000001B2"}

• Look up families for multiple patents at once

"Show the INPADOC family for these patents: EP3000001A1, CN112345678A, JP2020123456A"

Call with:

{"patentNumber": "EP3000001A1,CN112345678A,JP2020123456A"}

• Look up by patent ID

"获取 the patent family for patent ID 5af83e12-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"

Call with:

{"patentId": "5af83e12-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"}

• Compare family scopes

"I want to see how Simple Family vs. INPADOC Family differs for US20200012345A1"

Call with:

{"patentNumber": "US20200012345A1"}

Then compare simpleFamily and inpadocFamily arrays in the 响应.

Display Rules Present data clearly: Show patent family 结果s in well-structured tables. Group by family type (Simple, INPADOC, PatSnap) when the user asks for comparison. Summarize counts: Always 状态 how many family members were found under each family type so users can quickly gauge geographic spread. Highlight jurisdictions: When 列出ing family members, call out the countries/regions covered to help users understand the patent's geographic 保护ion scope. Error handling: When the API returns an error or empty 结果s, explAIn the likely cause (invalid patent number 格式化, patent not found in database, etc.) and suggest corrections. Batch 结果 organization: When 查询ing multiple patents, organize 结果s per patent so users can easily find each one. No subjective legal advice: Present factual family data only. Do not provide legal opinions on patent scope, validity, or infringement. 导入ant Limitations Lookup only: This 工具 retrieves family in格式化ion for known patents. It cannot perform keyword-based patent 搜索es or full-text queries. Batch limit: A maximum of 100 patent IDs or publication numbers per 请求. Data source: Family data comes from the Zhihuiya (PatSnap) database and may have a slight delay relative to the very latest patent office publications. Family member detAIl: The family member arrays contAIn summary objects. For full bibliographic data on a specific family member, a separate lookup may be required.
