# USPTO Database

Use this skill when a task needs official United States patent or trademark
records from USPTO systems.

## When to Use

- Searching granted patents or pre-grant publications.
- Checking patent application status, file-wrapper data, assignments, or
  public prosecution history.
- Looking up trademark status, documents, or assignment history.
- Building reproducible prior-art, portfolio, or IP landscape research logs.
- Comparing USPTO records with secondary tools such as Google Patents,
  Lens.org, Semantic Scholar, or company patent pages.

Do not use this skill to give legal advice. Treat it as a data-gathering and
record-verification workflow.

## Source Selection

Prefer official USPTO or USPTO-supported surfaces first:

- Open Data Portal (ODP): current home for migrated USPTO datasets and APIs.
- Patent File Wrapper: public patent application bibliographic data and file
  wrapper records.
- PatentSearch API: PatentsView search API for granted patents and pre-grant
  publication datasets.
- TSDR Data API: trademark status and document retrieval.
- Patent and Trademark Assignment Search: ownership transfer records.
