combined

Access USPTO APIs for patent/trademark searches, examination history (PEDS), assignments, citations, office actions, TSDR, for IP analysis and prior art searches. Access USPTO data (Patent Search, PEDS, TSDR, assignments) when you need to query patents/trademarks and retrieve prosecution or status information programmatically.

When to use

• **Patent Search**: Finding patents by keywords, inventors, assignees, classifications, or dates
• **Patent Details**: Retrieving full patent data including claims, abstracts, citations
• **Trademark Search**: Looking up trademarks by serial or registration number
• **Trademark Status**: Checking trademark status, ownership, and prosecution history
• **Examination History**: Accessing patent prosecution data from PEDS (Patent Examination Data System)
• **Office Actions**: Retrieving office action text, citations, and rejections
• **Assignments**: Tracking patent/trademark ownership transfers
• **Citations**: Analyzing patent citations (forward and backward)

Conflict

The three copies overlap heavily on the USPTO API ecosystem, helper scripts, and basic search examples, but each contains material steps or constraints the others lack. The Vibe-Skills copy is the most detailed and includes a separate PatentsView API key registration step and a typo in the example. The aipoch copy adds explicit Python/dependency requirements, a script-oriented automation workflow, and a note about configuring timeouts/retries for large batches. The OpenClaw copy is nearly identical to Vibe-Skills but omits the separate PatentsView key step and uses a slightly different query syntax in the example. Because the copies disagree on authentication setup and the aipoch copy adds unique operational constraints, crowning one would hide a real alternative.
