        About
        =====
        ``uspto-opendata-python`` is a client library for accessing the USPTO Open Data APIs. It is written in Python.
        
        Currently, it implements API wrappers for the
        
        - `PAIR Bulk Data (PBD)`_ system
        - `Patent Examination Data System (PEDS)`_
        
        Both systems contain bibliographic, published document and patent term extension data in Public PAIR from 1981 to present.
        There is also some data dating back to 1935.
        
        The PEDS system provides additional information concerning the transaction activity that has occurred for each patent.
        The transaction history includes the transaction date, transaction code and transaction description for each transaction activity.
        
        The query syntax follows the standard Apache Solr search syntax, and the json documents returned also follow the Solr response formats.

        Background
        ==========
        The Patent Application Information Retrieval (PAIR) APIs let customers retrieve and download
        multiple records of USPTO patent application or patent filing status at no cost.
        
        They are part of the US Patent and Trademark Office's (USPTO) commitment to fostering a culture of open government as
        described by the 2013 Executive Order 13642 to make open and machine-readable data the new default for government information
        (`HTML <https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2013/05/09/executive-order-making-open-and-machine-readable-new-default-government->`_,
        `PDF <https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-05-14/pdf/2013-11533.pdf>`_).
        
        The API was conceived as part of the `USPTO Open Data Initiative`_, please also visit the `USPTO Open Data Portal`_
        and its `API catalog`_ for other new APIs provided by the US Patent and Trademark Office.
        
        The US Patent and Trademark office encourages innovators and entrepreneurs worldwide to publish their inventions
        for worldwide use and adoption. They have opened their APIs to third party developers inside and outside of
        government so that they can directly benefit from this data, by making and using their own apps.
        
        For terms of use regarding their APIs and data, please visit the respective pages at `USPTO general terms`_ and
        `PatentsView API terms`_. In general, the published material is in the public domain and may be freely distributed and
        copied, but it is requested that in any subsequent use the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) be given
        appropriate acknowledgement (e.g., “Source: United States Patent and Trademark Office, www.uspto.gov”).
