# Summary
A powerful library for accessing intellectual property, featuring:
- 🍰 **Ease of use:** All sources use a simple unified API inspired by [Django-ORM][DORM].
- 🐼 **Pandas Integration:** Results are easily castable to [Pandas Dataframes and Series][PANDAS].
- 🚀 **Performance:** Fetched data is retrieved using the [httpx][httpx] library with native HTTP/2 and asyncio support, and cached using the [hishel][hishel] library for super-fast queries, and [yankee][yankee] for data extraction.
- 🌐 **Async/Await Support:** All API's (optionally!) support the async/await syntax.
- 🔮 **Pydantic v2 Support:** All models retrieved are [Pydantic v2 models][pydantic] with all the goodness that comes with them!
Docs, including a fulsome Getting Started and User Guide are available on [Read the Docs](http://patent-client.readthedocs.io). The Examples folder includes examples of using `patent_client` for
many common IP tasks
## ⭐ New in v5 ⭐
Version 5 brings a new and more reliable way to provide synchronous and asynchronous access to the various APIs.
In version 5, like in version 3, you can just `from patent_client import [Model]` and get a synchronous version
of the model. No asynchronous methods or functionality at all. Or you can do `from patent_client._async import [Model]`
and get an asynchronous version of the model.
Version 5 also brings support for the USPTO's new [Open Data Portal](https://beta-data.uspto.gov/home), a system currently in beta that is scheduled to replace the current Patent Examination Data System in late 2024.

## Installation
```
pip install patent_client
```
If you only want access to USPTO resources, you're done!
However, additional setup is necessary to access EPO Inpadoc and EPO Register resources. See the [Docs](http://patent-client.readthedocs.io).
## Quick Start
To use the project:
```python
# Import the model classes you need
>>> from patent_client import Inpadoc, Assignment, USApplication
# Fetch US Applications
>>> app = USApplication.objects.get('15710770')
>>> app.patent_title
'Camera Assembly with Concave-Shaped Front Face'
# Fetch from USPTO Assignments
>>> assignments = Assignment.objects.filter(assignee='Google')
>>> len(assignments) > 23000
True
>>> assignment = Assignment.objects.get('47086-788')
>>> assignment.conveyance_text
'ASSIGNMENT OF ASSIGNORS INTEREST'
# Fetch from INPADOC
>>> pub = Inpadoc.objects.get('EP3082535A1')
>>> pub.biblio.title
'AUTOMATIC FLUID DISPENSER'
```
## Async Quick Start
To use async with Patent Client, just import the classes you need from the async module. All methods
and iterators that access data or create a network request are asynchronous.
```python
from patent_client._async import USApplication
apps = list()
async for app in USApplication.objects.filter(first_named_applicant="Google"):
apps.append(app)
app = await USApplication.objects.aget("16123456")
```

## Documentation
Docs, including a fulsome Getting Started are available on [Read the Docs](http://patent-client.readthedocs.io).
<!-- END-RTD-IGNORE -->
# Development
To run the all tests run:
```
pytest
```
A developer guide is provided in the [Documentation](http://patent-client.readthedocs.io).
