Zhihuiya Patent Claims (Translated)

This skill guides you on how to query translated patent claims from the Zhihuiya (PatSnap) patent database, enabling users to retrieve claim texts in Chinese, English, or Japanese for one or more patents.

Core Concepts

Patent claims define the legal scope of protection granted by a patent. This tool retrieves the translated text of patent claims, supporting three languages: Chinese (cn), English (en), and Japanese (jp). You can look up patents by their internal patent ID or by their publication (announcement) number.

Family patent substitution: When claims are unavailable for a specific patent, the tool can optionally substitute claims from a related family patent. This is controlled by the replaceByRelated parameter.

Data Fields

Supported Languages

Default language is en (English). Use English when the user does not specify a language.

API Usage

This tool calls the LinkFox tool gateway API. See references/api.md for calling conventions, request parameters, and response structure. You can also execute scripts/zhihuiya_claim_translated.py directly to run queries.

Parameter Guide

Patent Identification

You must provide at least one of the following:

• patentId -- The internal patent ID. When both patentId and patentNumber are provided, patentId takes precedence. Multiple values separated by commas, up to 100 patents per request.
• patentNumber -- The publication or announcement number. Multiple values separated by commas, up to 100 patents per request.

Optional Parameters

• lang -- Target translation language: en (English, default), cn (Chinese), or jp (Japanese).
• replaceByRelated -- Whether to substitute claims from a family patent when the original claims are unavailable: 1 = yes, 0 = no (default).

Usage Examples

1. Get English claims for a single patent by publication number

patentNumber: "CN112345678A"
lang: "en"

2. Get Chinese claims for multiple patents by publication number

patentNumber: "US20210012345A1,EP3456789B1"
lang: "cn"

3. Get Japanese claims with family patent fallback

patentNumber: "JP2021123456A"
lang: "jp"
replaceByRelated: 1

4. Query by patent ID

patentId: "84a1b2c3-d4e5-6f78-9abc-def012345678"
lang: "en"

Display Rules

1. Present claims clearly: Show the translated claim text with proper formatting. If multiple patents are returned, separate each patent's claims with its publication number as a heading.
2. Family substitution notice: When pnRelated is present in the response, clearly inform the user that the claims were sourced from a related family patent and show the substitute publication number.
3. Language notice: State the language of the returned claims so the user knows which translation they are viewing.
4. Large results: When multiple patents are returned, summarize the count and show a few representative entries, reminding the user of the total.
5. Error handling: When a query fails, explain the reason based on the error response and suggest checking the patent ID or publication number.

Important Limitations

• At least one identifier required: Either patentId or patentNumber must be provided; otherwise the query will fail.
• Batch limit: A maximum of 100 patents per request.
• Language support: Only Chinese (cn), English (en), and Japanese (jp) are supported.
• Family substitution: Substitute claims are only returned when replaceByRelated is set to 1 and the original claims are unavailable.
