## 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 x402stock-patents-data-0f078e2f
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the patent data for Apple using x402stock — I want to see what they have on record, just pay the $0.02 per request in USDC?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need patent data without setting up API keys or accounts, and can pay $0.02 USDC per call autonomously. Ideal for AI agents doing one-off or low-volume patent lookups as part of competitive intelligence, M&A due diligence, or technology research workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance to cover $0.02 per-request fee — payment failure returned
- Missing or malformed 'properties' parameter — may return empty or error response
- Patent data unavailable for the queried entity — empty result set
- Network or proxy timeout from ZeroClick intermediary
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in quick succession

## How this service works

A company's US patents from the USPTO Open Data Portal, newest filings first. Pass `?company=Tesla` (required, matches APPLICANT name — subsidiaries/variants need separate queries) plus `?limit=` (max 100). Each carries patent & application numbers, title, filing & grant dates, status, applicant, inventors, and a link. From x402stock, a market & economic data API (x402, USDC).

## Output

Returns patent records and associated properties for the queried entity, including filing details and invention metadata, delivered as structured JSON data per the x402stock API.
