Can I search for both granted patents and pending applications?

Yes, the skill supports searching through both granted patents and pre-grant publications using the modern PatentSearch API endpoints.

What classification systems are supported for patent searches?

The skill supports searching by CPC (Cooperative Patent Classification), IPC (International Patent Classification), and the legacy USPC (US Patent Classification) systems.

Does this skill support trademark monitoring?

Yes, it uses the TSDR (Trademark Status & Document Retrieval) API to check trademark health, registration status, and ownership history.

Do I need an API key to use this USPTO skill?

Yes, you must register for API keys at account.uspto.gov and PatentsView. The skill requires these keys to be set as environment variables (USPTO_API_KEY and PATENTSVIEW_API_KEY).
