Patent Application Full-Text Data (No Images)
URL: https://api.uspto.gov/api/v1/datasets/products/appxml
Provides the bulk zip files that contain the concatenated full-text of each patent application XML document (non-provisional utility and plant). This page provides an additional feature called 'View Patent Records' which allows user to find or discover the patent applications that are bundled in the zip file. However, in this zip file, there may be applications that are not available in ODP and will not be included in the search results. Also, if there are revisions to the applications, the file will only show the original application.
