Zhihuiya Patent Simple Bibliography

This skill guides you on how to query simple bibliographic data for patents using the Zhihuiya patent database, helping users retrieve structured patent metadata efficiently.

Core Concepts

The Zhihuiya Simple Bibliography tool retrieves basic bibliographic (front-page) information for patents. Given one or more patent IDs or publication numbers, it returns structured metadata including title, abstract, applicants, inventors, assignees, classification codes, filing dates, priority claims, and citation references.

Lookup modes: You can look up patents by either patentId (Zhihuiya internal patent ID) or patentNumber (public publication/grant number). If both are supplied, patentId takes priority. Multiple values are separated by commas, with a maximum of 100 per request.

Parameter Guide

Priority rule: When both patentId and patentNumber are present, the API uses patentId and ignores patentNumber.

Response Data Fields

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_simple_bibliography.py directly to run queries.

Usage Examples

1. Look up a single patent by publication number

User: "Show me the bibliographic info for patent US11234567B2."
Action: Call with patentNumber = "US11234567B2"

2. Look up multiple patents by publication number

User: "Get the basic info for CN115000000A, EP4000000A1, and JP2023100000A."
Action: Call with patentNumber = "CN115000000A,EP4000000A1,JP2023100000A"

3. Look up patents by Zhihuiya patent ID

User: "Retrieve bibliography for patent IDs abc123 and def456."
Action: Call with patentId = "abc123,def456"

4. Retrieve inventor and applicant information

User: "Who are the inventors and applicants for patent US20230001234A1?"
Action: Call with patentNumber = "US20230001234A1", then extract the inventors and applicants fields from the response.

5. Check patent classification codes

User: "What IPC and CPC codes does patent EP3999999B1 have?"
Action: Call with patentNumber = "EP3999999B1", then present ipcMain, ipcFurther, cpcMain, and cpcFurther from the response.

6. Get patent abstract and citation references

User: "Show me the abstract and cited patents for CN114000000B."
Action: Call with patentNumber = "CN114000000B", then display abstractContent and citedPatents.

Display Rules

1. Present data clearly: Show bibliographic results in well-structured tables or grouped sections. For a single patent, use a key-value layout. For multiple patents, use a table with the most relevant columns.
2. Selective display: When results contain many fields, prioritize showing title, publication number, applicants, inventors, application date, publication date, IPC/CPC main codes, and abstract. Show additional fields only when the user specifically asks.
3. List fields: For array fields (inventors, applicants, assignees, classification codes, citations), present them as comma-separated values or bulleted lists depending on length.
4. Empty fields: Omit fields that are null or empty from the display rather than showing blank entries.
5. Error handling: When a query fails, explain the reason based on the error message and suggest the user verify the patent number or ID format.
6. Batch result notice: When querying many patents at once, remind the user that the maximum is 100 per request.

Important Limitations

• Maximum batch size: Up to 100 patent IDs or publication numbers per request.
• At least one identifier required: Either patentId or patentNumber must be provided; omitting both will cause an error.
• patentId takes priority: If both parameters are supplied, only patentId is used.
• Data scope: This tool returns simple bibliographic data only. It does not return full-text claims, detailed descriptions, legal status, or patent family information.
