Missing Fields about patent_client HOT 6 CLOSED

Sadly, that's not on me - that's a USPTO issue. The PEDS API that powers USApplication will be deprecated by the end of the year in favor of the USPTO's new Open Data Portal.

In the mean time, I've noticed that PEDS is no longer providing attorney details, file history information, continuity information, and others. I suspect that means it is already no longer being maintained, and as things break, they are just taking them offline rather than fixing them.

The solution is to start using the new ODP API, documented here. It has all the fields you're looking for, but may be a bit buggy (please report them!)

Just replace this:

from patent_client import USApplication

with this:

from patent_client.odp import USApplication

Thanks!

Thanks ! But when i downgrade it to 4.1.10. It is giving me all the fields and hence it should not be PEDS. So , I am now using the old version instead of the latest.

from patent_client.

Weird! It's back in the client app now too!

In any case, I'd treat PEDS with some suspicion, and migrate to ODP as quickly as is reasonable.

Thanks,

Since ODP is still in beta and not declared live. Is it possible to get all the missing fields back in new version (V5).

from patent_client.

Yes! I'll add them back in a version. Should be able to get to that this afternoon.

from patent_client.

Fixed in v5.0.12

Thanks!
