Optional
First applicant name (normalized for quick filtering)
Primary Applicant Country
primaryApplicantCountry
Optional
ISO country code of the primary applicant (e.g. GB, DE, US) — useful for filtering to UK companies before Companies House lookups
Primary Applicant Is Likely Company
primaryApplicantIsLikelyCompany
Optional

Optional
Number of jurisdictions where this patent is filed (1 + family members)
Data Completeness
dataCompleteness
Optional
Completeness score 0-1 based on available fields (abstract, citations, classifications, etc.)
Is New
isNew
Optional
Whether this patent is new since the last monitor mode run. Null in search/lite modes.
Record Type
recordType
Optional
Discriminator for filtering. Stable enum (additive only): patent, summary, error.
Schema Version
schemaVersion
Optional
Output-contract version (semver). Bumped additively when the record shape changes.
Summary
summary
Optional
Plain-English one-line summary (<=280 chars) an LLM or agent can quote without joining fields.
Change Flag
changeFlag
Optional
Monitor mode only. Stable enum (additive only): NEW (first time seen), GRANTED (a tracked application is now granted), FAMILY_EXPANDED (new jurisdictions added since last run), CITATIONS_INCREASED (more backward citations than last run), UNCHANGED. Null in search/lite modes.
Normalized Applicant
normalizedApplicant
Optional
Primary applicant with legal-entity suffixes stripped and case normalized, so spelling variants ("Samsung SDI Co., Ltd." / "SAMSUNG SDI CO LTD") collapse to one canonical key for grouping.
Technology Field
technologyField
Optional
Official WIPO IPC title for the patent's primary classification (subclass title where curated, else the 8-section title). Real published classification names — never invented labels.
Citation Percentile
citationPercentile
Optional
0-100 rank of this patent's backward-citation count within the delivered result set. Null on single-result runs.
Citation Strength
citationStrength
Optional
Band derived from citationPercentile: high (>=80), medium (>=50), low (<50). Null on single-result runs.
Family Countries
familyCountries
Optional
Distinct jurisdictions the patent family spans (including this publication's country). Empty unless includeFamilyMembers is enabled.
Family Coverage Score
familyCoverageScore
Optional
0-100 breadth score weighting the five major offices (US/EP/CN/JP/KR) + WO plus total jurisdiction spread. Higher = broader international protection. Null unless includeFamilyMembers is enabled.
Patent Strength Score
patentStrengthScore
Optional
0-100 heuristic strategic-strength proxy: granted status (30) + family breadth (30) + citation depth (40). NOT a valuation — a deterministic sortable signal. The family component needs includeFamilyMembers to be meaningful.
Strength Factors
strengthFactors
Optional
Auditable breakdown of patentStrengthScore: granted (0 or 30), familyCoverage (0-30), citations (0-40). The three sum to patentStrengthScore.
Business Significance
businessSignificance
Optional
Deterministic 'should a non-expert care?' tier. high (>=2 of: granted, family spans 4+ jurisdictions, 10+ citations), medium (exactly 1), low (none). Stable enum.
Technology Section
technologySection
Optional
Official WIPO IPC section title (the broad level above technologyField) — e.g. Electricity, Chemistry; Metallurgy, Physics. Forms a 2-level taxonomy with technologyField.
Priority Tier
priorityTier
Optional
Read-this-first triage. Stable enum: critical / high / medium / low. Derived from patentStrengthScore + recency + whether the applicant is a top filer in the set.
Citations Per Year
citationsPerYear
Optional
Age-normalized citation influence (citationCount divided by years since publication) — a fairer impact signal than raw citation count. Null when publication year is unknown.
Protection Strategy
protectionStrategy
Optional
Filing strategy inferred from the jurisdictions the family spans. Stable enum: global / regional / national. Null unless includeFamilyMembers is enabled.
Alert Severity
alertSeverity
Optional
Monitor mode only. Prioritised alert level. Stable enum: critical / high / medium / info. Null in search/lite/landscape modes.
Alert Headline
alertHeadline
Optional
Monitor mode only. Deterministic plain-English 'what changed' line (e.g. "Samsung SDI expanded battery protection into CN, JP"). Template-generated, no LLM. Null when nothing changed.
Alert Reasons
alertReasons
Optional
Monitor mode only. Stable reason codes behind the alert: granted, new_family_members, new_filing, new_citations, high_priority_patent, top_applicant.
Family Timeline
familyTimeline
Optional
Chronological 'where did this invention spread' — earliest filing date per jurisdiction ({ country, date }). Empty unless includeFamilyMembers is enabled.
Expansion Velocity
expansionVelocity
Optional
How quickly the invention spread internationally. Stable enum: fast (3+ jurisdictions within ~24 months), moderate (within ~48), slow. Null unless the family spans 2+ jurisdictions.
First Seen At
firstSeenAt
Optional
ISO timestamp this publication first appeared in the monitor watchlist. Null in search/lite modes.
Runs Seen
