PatentsView (USPTO)
A USPTO patent data service whose distinguishing feature is disambiguated inventor and assignee records. The search API requires a free key and structured queries, so for now we link to its search interface rather than querying it directly. Useful when you want to follow a specific inventor's or company's patents rather than just keyword-match documents.
No programmatic check — opens the archive’s own search.
Why it’s useful & how it works
Homepage alive (direct). The new search.patentsview.org API needs a free key + structured query (GET with header); not keyless. Link-only / key later. Niche/link-catalogue tier.
API access
https://search.patentsview.org/api/v1/patent/ (free key)
An API key is required — usually free; see the endpoints above for where to get one.
