Patents

From Arnout Engelen

There's no way of getting the claims as granted for european patents in plaintext. I already complained to http://forum.espacenet.com about that.

a script could get the claims from ofi.epoline.org, that should be OCR'ed. proof-of-concept of the script at http://bzzt.net/~arnouten/patents

[edit] RSS

Creating an rss feed will be tricky, since the SOAP interface doesn't allow searching

Some talk about scripting plugins might have to do with this?

[edit] esp@cenet via SOAP

• esp@cenet 'Open Patent Service' webservice interface. Looks like the description and claims is planned to be available in 2006 - there is also a testsite for new features.
• generic SOAP client should be useful for testing stuff.
• PHP and OPS example
