# Patent research
Search and look up patents across Google Patents and USPTO Patent Public
Search — full-text search, bibliographic detail, claims, citations, patent
family, and classification lookup — all as normalized JSON from the
Crawlora API, no scraping of patent-office pages.
## When to use this skill
- "Find patents about X" / "prior-art search for X" (keyword, inventor, or
assignee).
- "What does patent US10758101B2 claim?" / "Show me this patent's citations
and family members."
- "What's this company's / inventor's patent portfolio?"
- "What CPC classification covers X?" (e.g. `A61K31/00`).
- "What patents were published this week?" (recent-publications browse).
- Freedom-to-operate or landscape research needing both Google Patents'
broader index and USPTO's own official full-text search with its
field-code query syntax.
## Setup (one-time)
- Get a free Crawlora API key (2,000 credits/mo, no card) at [https://crawlora.net](https://crawlora.net?utm_source=github&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=crawlora-skills).
- `export CRAWLORA_API_KEY=sk_your_key_here`
- All requests: `x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY` against
`https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1`. Missing/invalid key → `401`.
## How it works
1. **Google Patents search** — `/googlepatents/search` (`q`, plus optional
`inventor`/`assignee`/`country`/`status`/`type`/`language`/`sort`/date
filters via `before`+`after`+`date_field`) returns normalized hits plus
top-assignee/top-inventor/top-classific
