## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to search USPTO patent and trademark data without setting up an account or API key, and when you want deterministic, pay-per-request access billed in USDC via x402. It is ideal for AI agents performing prior art research, trademark availability checks, competitive patent landscaping, or IP due diligence without any subscription overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Empty result set if query terms match no records in the dataset
- Overly broad query returns too many records or truncated results
- Query too narrow or misspelled returns zero matches
- Payment failure if USDC balance insufficient for the $0.005 per-call fee
- Malformed request body if 'query' field is missing or not a string
