# patent-uspto

> patent-uspto is a paid API for AI agents from agentdatum.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns patent application counts (resident/non-resident), trademark filings, and R&D expenditure (% of GDP) for six major countries (US, China, Japan, South Korea, Germany, India) from World Bank/WIPO official data.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://agentdatum.com/api/v1/d/patent-uspto
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability patent-uspto-5807e52b
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest patent application counts and R&D expenditure as a share of GDP for the US, China, Japan, South Korea, Germany, and India from the World Bank/WIPO dataset.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need official, World Bank/WIPO-sourced innovation indicators — patent filings (resident/non-resident), trademark applications, and R&D as % of GDP — for the six major economies (US, China, Japan, South Korea, Germany, India) without needing an API key. Prefer it over general web search for structured, comparable cross-country data. Not suitable if you need data for countries outside these six or need real-time patent search by applicant or technology class.

## Known failure modes

- Data source temporarily unavailable (source migration scheduled for 2026-07-30)
- No query parameters supported — returns full dataset only
- Stale data if upstream World Bank/WIPO indicators have not been updated
- HTTP 402 payment required if x402 payment header is missing or insufficient
