USPTO Patent Grants Tracker — Recent US Patent Filings

Real-time feed of newly-granted United States patents from the USPTO public record. Filter by free-text query, assignee organization, CPC classification, and grant-date window. Built for IP attorneys, R&D teams, patent prosecution firms, and M&A diligence analysts who need a clean structured stream of US patent grants without scraping PDF gazettes.

Companion actors: uspto-patent-search, wipo-patentscope-search, euipo-esearch-trademarks, trademark-search.

📊 Sample Output

What it does

Given a search query (and optional filters), this actor returns a structured JSON stream of the most-recently-granted US patents matching your criteria. Each row includes the patent number, title, grant date, abstract, full assignee list, full inventor list, all CPC and IPC classification codes, claim count, citation count, and a canonical source_url linking back to the USPTO Patent Center page for that patent.

Buyer use cases

• IP attorneys & patent prosecutors — prior-art monitoring, freedom-to-operate searches, watch lists for specific CPC subclasses
• R&D / tech-strategy teams — landscape mapping in a technology area (e.g. AI/ML = CPC G06N, networking = H04L, pharma = A61K)
• Competitive intelligence — daily / weekly monitoring of competitor patent grants by assignee name
• M&A diligence — quick portfolio audit of a target company's recently-granted US IP
• VC / investment research — emerging-tech tracking by CPC code or keyword
• Patent analytics firms — feeding a downstream patent-quality / citation-graph pipeline
• Academic / policy research — innovation studies, regional / industry patent-grant trends

Data source & attribution

This actor sources public US patent records (which are part of the public legal record under 35 U.S.C.) via the Google Patents JSON interface, which mirrors the official USPTO patent corpus. Every row carries a canonical source_url pointing back to the USPTO Patent Center page for the patent.

The original PatentsView API (formerly hosted at api.patentsview.org) was retired in 2025 and migrated to the USPTO Open Data Portal at data.uspto.gov, which now requires registered API-key access. The apiKey input field is reserved for future routing to that endpoint.

Patent data is part of the public legal record. Inventor names appear in the grant document and are publicly searchable; we surface them as legal record metadata. No PII is collected — no inventor email addresses, no telephone numbers, no residential addresses.

Rate limits & politeness

• Honors a 1 request / 2 seconds ceiling against the upstream source.
• Identifies as NexGenData/1.0 (https://thenextgennexus.com; hello@nexgendata.com).
• Per-row charge only on successful row emission.
