FindIp

Retrieve patent text through the Deep Research-compatible `search` and `fetch` interface. **Input:** Set `id` to a publication or registration number returned by `search`. For a document split across multiple responses, use the `next_id` returned in `metadata` to retrieve the next part. **Response:** Returns `id`, `title`, `text`, `url` (patent-detail link), and `metadata`. Documents of 175,000 UTF-8 bytes or fewer are returned in full. Longer documents are divided into parts of at most 175,000 bytes; `metadata` reports the byte count, current part, total parts, and `next_id`. Metadata also includes applicant names, filing, publication and grant dates, IPC codes, jurisdiction, and kind code.

fetch

Search FindIP's patent index through the Deep Research-compatible `search` and `fetch` interface. **Input:** Set `query` to a natural-language description of a technical topic, problem, or solution. **Response:** Returns `results` with up to 50 relevant patents from KR, US, CN, JP, EP, and WO (PCT). Each result contains `id` (publication number), `title`, and `url` (patent-detail link). Use an `id` with `fetch` to retrieve the full patent document.

search

Resolve an applicant name to harmonized applicant candidates for patent search or trend analysis. **Input:** Set `q` to the applicant name. `match_mode` controls whether `q` matches any part (`contains`), the beginning (`prefix`), or the whole indexed applicant name (`exact`). `top_n` limits the number of returned candidates. **Response:** Returns `{query, match_mode, candidates, top1_dominance, recommendation, total_pubs}`. Each `candidates[]` item contains an `entity_id` representative-name string and `pub_count` and `share` ranking signals. Candidates are ordered by `pub_count`. `top1_dominance` is the first candidate's `share`, and `total_pubs` is the sum of the returned candidates' `pub_count`. `recommendation` is `auto` when the first candidate's share is at least 0.9; otherwise it is `ask`. These count and share values are not exact patent-portfolio statistics. **Next step:** Use the relevant returned `entity_id` strings as one `applicant_entity_ids` list in `findip_search_patents` or `findip_analyze_trends`. For `auto`, use the first candidate. For `ask`, select from the user's context and ask only if the intended applicant remains unclear. An empty `candidates` list means no matching applicant name was found.

findip_find_applicant

Report FindIP patent-publication coverage for KR, US, CN, JP, EP, and WO (PCT). **Input:** None. **Use when:** Verify whether a jurisdiction or publication-date range is covered by the index. **Response:** `{countries, total, updated_at}`. Each `countries[code]` contains `{count, from, to}`: publication count, coverage start year, and latest publication date. `total` is the combined count, and `updated_at` is the coverage refresh time.

findip_get_coverage

Normalize user-provided patent numbers using the country formats in `patent_ids`, then retrieve patent text and metadata. Infer the country and number type from the number format and user context; ask only if the country cannot be determined. If the number type is unclear, query all applicable types and return deduplicated results. Each patent includes `title_link`, a ready-made markdown link to the patent-detail page. Reproduce it verbatim when presenting a patent; never present a title without its link. Found patents return `{title_link, patent_id, url, metadata, content, drawings?, representative_figure?, sequence_count?, sequences?, sequences_truncated?}`. `patent_id` is the resolved publication or registration number, and `content` is markdown. Drawing references do not contain image bytes, and sequence results are limited to 50 per patent. Missing patents return `{patent_id, error: "not_found"}`. `legal_status` indicates the publication stage, not current enforceability.

findip_get_patent_details

Retrieve one patent drawing by publication or registration number and drawing filename. **Input:** Use the `patent_id` and exact drawing filename returned by patent details. **Response:** `base64` returns `[TextContent, ImageContent]` for inline display. `url` returns `{url, publication_number, filename}`.

findip_get_patent_drawing

Multilingual semantic patent search across KR, US, CN, JP, EP, and WO (PCT) using text, drawing image, biological sequence, or hybrid input. Query language does not limit the requested jurisdictions. Each result includes `title_link`, a ready-made markdown link to the patent-detail page. Reproduce it verbatim when presenting a patent, so every patent you mention stays clickable; never present a title without its link. Text and hybrid results are reranked. Image-only and sequence-only results are ranked by similarity. Results from the requested jurisdictions are returned in one list with `country`. Returns up to `top_k`; `total` is the returned count. Text and hybrid results include `chunks`, while image and sequence results include their matching data. `legal_status` indicates the publication stage, not the patent's current enforceability.

findip_search_patents

Retrieve one area of a patent document by patent or application number. **Input:** Normalize the number by jurisdiction and number format, then set `publication_id`. Use `id_type="publication"` for publication or registration numbers and `id_type="application"` for application numbers. If the number type cannot be determined, try both. Select the area with `section`. Use `nums` only to select claim numbers, description paragraph numbers, or `SEQ ID NO` values. **Response:** Returns the requested area as a markdown string. Drawing results contain exact filenames and captions, not image content; use a returned filename with `findip_get_patent_drawing` to retrieve the image. Family results list every equivalent publication, and only members shown with a patent-detail link have retrievable text — a section request for one without a link returns an empty result. Sequence results include sequence counts, metadata, and sequence text.

findip_get_patent_section

Patent statistics across KR, US, CN, JP, EP, and WO (PCT). Omit `query` for CENSUS, which returns exact publication counts for applicant, inventor, IPC/CPC, date, or non-`all` document-stage filters. Country alone is not sufficient. Provide `query` for TREND, which returns vector-similarity estimates for a technical topic. TREND totals are not exhaustive, and country counts do not indicate index coverage. On the first page, `results` starts with statistics rows (`by_year`, `by_country`, `top_applicant`, `top_ipc`), followed by patent previews. TREND with applicant, inventor, IPC/CPC, date, or document-stage filters also includes exact `census_*` rows before the TREND rows. Present the statistics visually with suitable tables or charts when possible. Each patent preview includes `title_link`, a ready-made markdown link to the patent-detail page. Reproduce it verbatim when presenting a patent; never present a title without its link. `legal_status` indicates the publication stage, not current enforceability.
