🚀 Why This Tool is a Game‑Changer

• Multi‑Source Coverage – USPTO, Google Patents, and global databases (EPO, WIPO in future versions).
• Rich Metadata – Patent ID, title, applicants/assignees, abstract, publication date, legal status.
• IP Value Scoring – Demo includes a proprietary valuation metric (IP_Value_Score) to prioritize high‑impact patents.
• Demo Mode – Test the structure with 2 premium sample patents instantly.
• Bulk Ready – Accepts an array of patent IDs for batch processing.
• Residential Proxies – Designed to work with Apify proxy to avoid rate limits.

⚠️ Notes & Limitations

• Demo Data – Sample patents are for illustration only; they may not reflect real‑world patents.
• Real Extraction – The current version includes a placeholder for live extraction. Production version will integrate with official APIs and scraping (USPTO bulk data, Google Patents).
• Patent Formats – Supports US (US...), European (EP...), and PCT (WO...) formats; others may be added.
• Legal Status – Real‑time status requires deeper integration with USPTO PAIR or similar databases.
