USPTO Proxy

This application is a tool for accessing the database of patents and patent applications hosted by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO). This database is conventionally accessed through the web, which is sufficient (though clumsy) for human-readable access, but inadequate for automated applications that need well-formatted data.

This application provides a class library (DLL) called USPTOProxy that can be dropped into an application and used as a simple, effective proxy interface for the database. The application can fetch patents and patent applications, with the results returned as structured objects. The application also allows the user to query the database of patents and patent applications with a standard "advanced query" string (e.g., "ttl/neuron and an/merck"), and the user may specify whether the results should be returned as an array of references that match the query or as an array of patent/patent application objects.
