Can I find all patents assigned to a specific inventor?

Yes! Use the `search_inventors` tool with the inventor's last name. The response will include their ID, and you can then retrieve their full portfolio of granted patents.

How can I get the full technical abstract of a patent?

Use the `get_patent_details` tool with the specific patent number. The engine will return exhaustive metadata, including the official abstract filed with the USPTO.

Is it possible to see which company owns a patent?

Yes. The patent details include the 'assignee organization' field, which identifies the company or entity that currently holds the rights to the patent.
