How It Works

Looking for a Google Patents scraper or a practical patent data alternative? Add Google Patents search or individual patent URLs, set a patent cap, optional year range and country filter, then run. Each row includes the patent number, application number, title, abstract, claims, filing and publication dates, inventors, assignee, country or office, cited patents, later citations, URL and scrape time.

Use the dataset for patent research, competitor tracking, freedom-to-operate screens, inventor profiles and citation-network mapping. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull results through the Apify API. Pay from $2.00 per 1,000 patents.

For AI Agents & LLM Apps

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.

Billing: Pay-per-result ($2/1K items).
