Purpose: Extract patent data from Google Patents — titles, abstracts, claims, inventors, assignees and citations.

Minimal working input:

{
  "startUrls": ["https://patents.google.com/?q=blockchain&oq=blockchain"],
  "maxPatents": 20
}

Output fields: title, abstract, patentNumber, filingDate, publicationDate, inventors, assignee, country, claims, citations, url, scrapedAt.

Behaviors an agent should know:

• startUrls accepts Google Patents search or individual patent URLs.
• countries filters by patent office (e.g. ["US", "EP", "WO"]).
• Full claim text is extracted when maxPatents is low enough for detail pages.
