Skill flowleap-ai/flowleap-plugins/plugins/flowleap/skills/flowleap-ops

Direct EPO Open Patent Services access through the FlowLeap backend — CQL search plus per-document bibliography, claims, description, family, legal status, and abstract. Trigger when an agent needs authoritative EPO document data for a known publication number, full claims or description text, family members, legal-status events, or a raw OPS CQL search. For query-building or ranked discovery use flowleap-patent; use OPS for authoritative per-document data.From its SKILL.md

FlowLeap OPS

Auth and global flags: see flowleap-shared.

Direct access to the European Patent Office (EPO) Open Patent Services API.

Commands

Search

flowleap ops search --cql <query> [flags]

Flag	Description	Default
`--cql`	CQL query string (required)	—
`--start`	Start position	`1`
`--end`	End position	`25`

Document Commands

All document commands take a patent document number (e.g., EP1234567). claims and description accept --lang (defaults to en):

flowleap ops biblio <doc>                  # Bibliographic data
flowleap ops claims <doc> --lang en        # Claims text
flowleap ops description <doc> --lang en   # Full description
flowleap ops family <doc>                  # Patent family members
flowleap ops legal <doc>                   # Legal status events
flowleap ops abstract <doc>                # Abstract text

Doc IDs are normalized server-side — ep1.000.000 and EP1000000 both resolve.

For a non-EP-style number (US grant/application, or an original-format KR/CN number), convert it to DOCDB first so OPS can match it:

flowleap convert-number US5443036.A --to docdb

A SERVER.EntityNotFound on some KR/CN documents is an OPS coverage gap, not a retryable error — don't retry it; fall back to another source for that document.

Response envelope

OPS endpoints return data wrapped in a success/error envelope. The CLI unwraps data automatically so --json prints just the payload. Pass --verbose to see cache status and execution time. Errors use code values: MISSING_PARAM, NOT_FOUND, RATE_LIMITED, INTERNAL_ERROR.

Examples

# CQL search
flowleap ops search --cql "ti=solar AND pa=Tesla"

# Get bibliographic data
flowleap ops biblio EP1234567

# Get claims in German
flowleap ops claims US10123456 --lang de

# Get family members (JSON for agents)
flowleap ops family EP1234567 --json

# Search with pagination
flowleap ops search --cql "ti=battery" --start 1 --end 50

# Verbose shows cache status and timing
flowleap ops biblio EP1234567 --verbose

Workflow: Deep Patent Analysis

Search: flowleap ops search --cql "ti=solar AND pa=Tesla"
Get details: flowleap ops biblio EP1234567
Read claims: flowleap ops claims EP1234567
Check family: flowleap ops family EP1234567
Check legal status: flowleap ops legal EP1234567

One-call alternative: flowleap --json summary EP1234567 bundles biblio, legal status, family, and term.
