## 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 uspto-patentsview-patent-search-8fc2388e
```

Example prompt: Search US patents for 'solid-state battery electrolyte' and show me the titles, patent numbers, dates, assignees, and abstracts for the most relevant results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured US patent data including titles, numbers, dates, assignees, and abstracts from the authoritative USPTO/PatentsView source. Ideal for prior-art checks, competitive intelligence, IP research, or R&D agents needing patent metadata quickly without direct USPTO API integration.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required query parameter 'q' returns a validation error
- Very broad or common keywords may return too many results or timeout
- No patents found for highly specific or niche queries returns empty results
- Payment failure (402) if x402 payment is not processed correctly
- Query returning stale data if PatentsView index is not current

## How this service works

Patent search (US PatentsView / USPTO): find patents by keyword, returns title, patent number, date, assignee, abstract. For IP research, competitive intelligence, prior-art checks, R&D agents.

## Output
