Eureka Patent Description Translation

This skill guides you on how to retrieve translated patent description (specification) text via the Eureka patent data platform. It supports translation into Chinese, English, or Japanese, and can look up patents by patent ID or publication number.

Core Concepts

A patent description (also called "specification") is the full technical text of a patent document. This tool fetches the translated version of that text from the Eureka patent database, supporting three target languages: Chinese (cn), English (en), and Japanese (jp).

When a patent's description is unavailable, the tool can optionally substitute it with a description from a patent family member (a related patent filed in another jurisdiction covering the same invention).

Parameter Guide

Key Rules

1. At least one identifier required: Either patentId or patentNumber must be provided. If the user gives a publication number like "US10123456B2", use patentNumber. If they give a numeric patent ID, use patentId.
2. Priority: When both identifiers are supplied, patentId takes precedence.
3. Batch queries: Up to 100 patents can be queried at once by passing comma-separated values.
4. Default language: If the user does not specify a language, default to en (English).

Response Fields

Usage Examples

1. Get English translation of a patent description by publication number

Get the English description for patent US10123456B2.

Parameters: patentNumber = "US10123456B2", lang = "en"

2. Get Chinese translation of a patent description by patent ID

Get the Chinese translation of description for patent ID abc123def.

Parameters: patentId = "abc123def", lang = "cn"

3. Batch query with family member fallback

Get English descriptions for US10123456B2, EP3456789A1, CN112345678A. Use family patents if unavailable.

Parameters: patentNumber = "US10123456B2,EP3456789A1,CN112345678A", lang = "en", replaceByRelated = 1

4. Japanese translation of a specific patent

Translate the description of JP2021012345A to Japanese.

Parameters: patentNumber = "JP2021012345A", lang = "jp"

5. Chinese translation with family fallback

查询专利US10123456B2的中文说明书，如果没有就用同族专利替代。

Parameters: patentNumber = "US10123456B2", lang = "cn", replaceByRelated = 1

Display Rules

1. Present the translated text clearly: Show the patent description text directly. For long descriptions, present a summary or the first section and inform the user the full text is available.
2. Identify substitutions: When pnRelated is present in the response, clearly inform the user that the description was sourced from a family member patent and show the related publication number.
3. Batch results: When multiple patents are returned, present them in a structured list with clear separation between each patent's description.
4. Error handling: When a query fails, explain the reason based on the response and suggest checking the patent ID or publication number for correctness.
5. No fabrication: Never invent or paraphrase patent text. Only display what the API returns.

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/eureka_description_translated.py directly to run queries.

Important Limitations

• Identifier required: At least one of patent ID or publication number must be provided; the tool cannot perform keyword-based searches.
• Translation languages: Only Chinese (cn), English (en), and Japanese (jp) are supported.
• Description only: This tool returns only the description/specification text, not titles, abstracts, or claims.
• Family replacement is optional: The substitute family patent description is only provided when explicitly requested via replaceByRelated = 1.
• Batch limit: A maximum of 100 patents per request.

User Expression & Scenario Quick Reference

Applicable -- Patent description/specification translation queries:

Not applicable -- Needs beyond patent description translation:

• Patent search or discovery (finding patents by keyword/topic)
• Patent claim analysis or claim chart generation
• Patent legal status or prosecution history
• Patent citation or reference analysis
• Patent portfolio analytics or statistics

Boundary -- Edge cases:

• If the user asks for "patent full text" without specifying, clarify whether they want description, claims, or abstract.
• If the user provides more than 100 patents, split into multiple batches.
