Patent Insights & Updates

How Researchers Used PatentsView Data to Uncover Innovation Trends in 2025

PatentsView is a powerful tool that helps researchers, students, and anyone interested in innovation learn more about how new ideas and technologies spread. Research teams continue to use PatentsView’s enhanced and open-source patent data to discover actionable insights. Here are some insights researchers have uncovered this year—and how you can use PatentsView in your research.

PatentsView Team Identifies Data Quality Error in Q1 2025 Data Update

The PatentsView team found an isolated error in its data disambiguation process affecting only the Q1 2025 disambiguated assignee granted and pre-grant data. This issue is connected to a recent code change in our data pipeline process. The affected disambiguated assignee granted and pre-grant data appears in data downloads, PatentSearch API, and data visualizations.

PatentsView Ends Support for Legacy API

PatentsView has discontinued support for the Legacy API as of May 1, 2025. Any requests made to api.patentsview.org will result in a 410 gone client error response. Originally scheduled for discontinuation in February, support for the Legacy API continued to give additional time to users while they transitioned to the new PatentSearch API.

PatentsView Gets a Makeover

The PatentsView team has been working behind the scenes to improve the user experience and ensure that we remain the foremost public source for enhanced U.S. patent data. This month, we launched several updates that move us toward that vision, including a more modern, streamlined home page and navigation experience and a redesigned bimonthly newsletter.
