Scrape patents by assignee?

[michelefioretti]

Hello,

Thanks for this script. Would it be possible to use the script to search patent information by Assignee rather than by Patent Number? Thank you.

Best,
Michele

Hi Michele,

I will check how doable this is. It is not just a simple code change.

Thank you so much Ryan. This would be very helpful for my project. One way I tried to address this issue is by for instance look for all patents assigned to, say, Tesla (e.g., https://patents.google.com/?assignee=Tesla <https://patents.google.com/?assignee=Tesla>), and then click on the Download button which is on the top right. This effectively downloads a CSV file with the list of patents that then I can feed to the python code that you built. However, the issue with this approach is that it does not download all patents because the google webpage says that there 7,624 entries, whereas I can only find 2,334 in the dataset. Would you know if there’s a way around this? Thank you! Best, Michele

Hi Michele, Yes this was the first approach I took, you are right it doesn't download all patents. The USPTO has an api for patents by assignee, that's what I plan to use. Ryan On Sat, Apr 17, 2021, 3:14 AM michelefioretti ***@***.***> wrote:
