An R client to the PatentsView API

Installation

You can get the stable version from CRAN:

install.packages("patentsview")

Or the development version from GitHub:

if (!"devtools" %in% rownames(installed.packages())) 
  install.packages("devtools")

devtools::install_github("ropensci/patentsview")

Basic usage

The PatentsView API provides an interface to a disambiguated version of USPTO. The patentsview R package provides one main function, search_pv(), to make it easy to interact with the API:

library(patentsview)

search_pv(query = '{"_gte":{"patent_date":"2007-01-01"}}')
