ops_fulltext: retrieve full text using patent numbers

In poldham/opsrdev: Access Patent Data with the European Patent Office "Open Patent Services" (OPS) API

Description

For jurisdictions where full text is available. This is presently limited to Austria (AT), Canada (CA), the European Patent Office (EP), Great Britain (GB), the Patent Cooperation Treaty (WO), Spain (ES) and Switzerland (CH).

Usage

ops_fulltext(query = "", type = "", timer = 30)

Arguments

query	A patent number or character vector containing patent numbers.
type	Description, claims, or fulltext (availability). See details
timer	Set the time delay between calls to OPS in seconds.

Details

Setting type "fulltext" will simply retrieve information on the availability of fulltext elements for a given record. description will retrieve the available descriptions. claims will retrieve the available claims. Note that the function filters the countries to thise with full text availability (otherwise the query will fail). To identify documents inside full text availability use the patent family service to link from numbers outside fulltext (e.g. US) to those inside fulltext (e.g. EP or WO). Retrieval of multiple segments (biblio, description, claims) is supported by OPS but not yet in this function. Be cautious when using the arguments (e.g. description) as they will pull back a lot of data affecting your quota.

Value

A list.

Examples

## Not run: ops_fulltext("WO0000034", type = "fulltext", timer = 20)
