Does the USPTO Database skill require an API key?

Yes, you must register for a free API key at account.uspto.gov/api-manager and set it as the USPTO_API_KEY environment variable to use these services.

Which trademark data is available through this skill?

You can access trademark status, ownership history, prosecution milestones, and document retrieval (TSDR) using either serial or registration numbers.

Can I retrieve the full text of patent office actions?

Yes, the skill provides access to specific endpoints for Office Action Text Retrieval and rejection reasons, which helps in analyzing why a patent was initially denied.

What is the difference between searching patents and publications?

The /patent endpoint searches granted patents, while the /publication endpoint searches pregrant applications that have not yet been officially issued as patents.
