Patent Grant Full-Text Data (No Images) - XML

Provides the bulk zip files that contains the concatenated full-text of each patent grant document issued weekly. This page provides an additional feature called 'View Patent Records' which allows user to find or discover the patent grants that are bundled in the zip file. Even though the zip file may contain grants that belong to the applications which were filed before 2001, ODP will only show the grants that belong to the applications that were filed from 2001.
