patent_landscape
ActiveTool of gapup-mcp
Search, analyze and map patent landscapes across major jurisdictions (US, EP, WO, CN, JP, KR). Three modes: (1) search — find patents by keywords, company name or inventor name; (2) landscape — aggregate distributions: top assignees, top inventors, CPC class breakdown, filings by year, citation leaders, white-space innovation opportunities; (3) lookup — retrieve a specific patent by number (e.g. US10000000B2, EP3456789A1, WO2023/123456). Primary source: WIPO PatentScope (WO PCT, keyless). Optional sources: USPTO PatentsView (US, env PATENTSVIEW_API_KEY), EPO OPS (EP/WO, env EPO_OPS_CONSUMER_KEY + EPO_OPS_CONSUMER_SECRET), Lens.org (global, env LENS_API_TOKEN). Use cases: freedom-to-operate (FTO) analysis, R&D gap identification, VC due diligence IP audit, competitor patent portfolio mapping, inventor network analysis. SLA: <=24s p95 (parallel fetches, 8s per source). Cache: 24h TTL (patent data stable). Quality score: 30 pts per retrieved source (max 90), +10 if >=10 patents, +10 bonus for landscape mode with non-empty top_assignees.
