New: Google Patents Scraper — search patents worldwide and get clean records with abstracts and PDF links

What it does

Google Patents Scraper is the global front door to prior-art research. Query patents worldwide by keyword, assignee, CPC class or date, and get back clean structured records — each with the full abstract, key dates, and a direct PDF link. It is public patent data for research and monitoring, not legal or freedom-to-operate advice.

Who it's for

IP researchers and patent analysts running prior-art searches, R&D; and product teams watching a technology area, and competitive-intelligence analysts or AI agents tracking a rival's filings over time.

Sample fields / output

  • publicationNumber — e.g. US20230000001A1
  • title, assignee, inventor
  • priorityDate, filingDate, publicationDate, grantDate
  • abstract — full abstract text, plus snippet search-match context
  • pdfUrl — direct PDF link, and patentUrl — the Google Patents page

Example use cases

  • Run a prior-art search on a keyword and pull the 25 most recent matching patents
  • Stand up a weekly watch on a competitor's new filings by assignee
  • Feed an AI agent recent patents on a technology area and summarize each abstract
