Frequently asked questions
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.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
