Connects Claude to the USPTO via the AI Patent Search Generator extension's API. Gives you 26 tools: full dossiers, prosecution histories, examiner stats, citation graphs, patent family trees, CPC lookups, and AI-analyzed Office Actions that suggest response arguments. The legal layer is the standout: PTAB validity challenges, district court litigation records, and company litigation lookups. You can generate Boolean search strings, execute server-side searches against Google Patents, or get AI risk profiles. Most reads are free or cached; dossiers and searches cost 1-3 credits. Requires the Chrome extension and an API key from its admin panel. Useful if you're doing prior art, freedom-to-operate, or competitive intelligence work without leaving your editor.
