智慧芽（PatSnap）专利家族查询指南
This skill guides you on how to query patent family information via the Zhihuiya (PatSnap) platform, helping users discover Simple Family, INPADOC Family, and PatSnap Family members for given patents.
本技能将指导您如何通过智慧芽（PatSnap）平台查询专利家族信息，帮助用户查找指定专利的Simple Family（简单同族）、INPADOC Family（INPADOC同族）和PatSnap Family（PatSnap家族）成员。
Core Concepts
核心概念
A patent family is a collection of patent documents that are related to each other by priority claims. Different family definitions capture different scopes of relatedness:
- Simple Family: Patents sharing exactly the same set of priority applications. These are typically direct equivalents filed in different countries.
- INPADOC Family: A broader grouping defined by the European Patent Office that links patents sharing at least one common priority, even indirectly.
- PatSnap Family: A proprietary family definition by PatSnap (Zhihuiya) that extends INPADOC logic with additional heuristics to capture continuations, divisionals, and other related filings.
Each patent in the response carries its own , , and , which serve as unique identifiers for the family group under each definition.
simpleFamilyIdinpadocFamilyIdpatsnapFamilyId**patent family（专利家族）**是指通过优先权主张相互关联的一组专利文档。不同的家族定义涵盖的关联范围有所不同：
- Simple Family：共享完全相同优先权申请组的专利，通常是在不同国家提交的直接等同专利。
- INPADOC Family：由欧洲专利局定义的更宽泛分组，将共享至少一项共同优先权（即使是间接共享）的专利关联起来。
- PatSnap Family：智慧芽（PatSnap）的专有家族定义，在INPADOC逻辑基础上扩展了额外启发式规则，以包含延续申请、分案申请及其他相关申请。
响应中的每个专利都带有各自的、和，这些是对应定义下家族组的唯一标识符。

参数指南
You must supply at least one of the two lookup parameters. If both are provided, patent ID takes precedence.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| patentId | string | Conditionally | Patent ID(s). Separate multiple values with commas. Maximum 100 entries. |
| patentNumber | string | Conditionally | Publication / announcement number(s). Separate multiple values with commas. Maximum 100 entries. |
Rules:
- At least one of or
patentIdmust be provided.patentNumber - If both are provided, the API uses and ignores
patentId.patentNumber - Multiple values are comma-separated (e.g., ).
"US10000001B2,EP3000001A1" - The upper limit is 100 patents per request.
您必须提供以下两个查询参数中的至少一个。如果同时提供，patentId优先生效。
| 参数 | 类型 | 必填性 | 描述 |
|---|---|---|---|
| patentId | string | 可选（二选一） | 专利ID，多个值用逗号分隔，最多支持100条。 |
| patentNumber | string | 可选（二选一） | 公开/公告号，多个值用逗号分隔，最多支持100条。 |
规则：
- 必须提供或
patentId中的至少一个。patentNumber - 如果同时提供，API将使用并忽略
patentId。patentNumber - 多个值用逗号分隔（例如：）。
"US10000001B2,EP3000001A1" - 每次请求最多支持100个专利。

simpleFamilyinpadocFamilyDisplay Rules
展示规则
- Present data clearly: Show patent family results in well-structured tables. Group by family type (Simple, INPADOC, PatSnap) when the user asks for comparison.
- Summarize counts: Always state how many family members were found under each family type so users can quickly gauge geographic spread.
- Highlight jurisdictions: When listing family members, call out the countries/regions covered to help users understand the patent's geographic protection scope.
- Error handling: When the API returns an error or empty results, explain the likely cause (invalid patent number format, patent not found in database, etc.) and suggest corrections.
- Batch result organization: When querying multiple patents, organize results per patent so users can easily find each one.
- No subjective legal advice: Present factual family data only. Do not provide legal opinions on patent scope, validity, or infringement.
- 清晰呈现数据：将专利家族结果以结构清晰的表格展示。当用户要求对比时，按家族类型（Simple、INPADOC、PatSnap）分组展示。
- 汇总数量：务必说明每种家族类型下找到的成员数量，方便用户快速了解地域分布范围。
- 突出管辖区域：列出家族成员时，标注覆盖的国家/地区，帮助用户理解专利的地域保护范围。
- 错误处理：当API返回错误或空结果时，解释可能的原因（如专利号格式无效、数据库中未找到该专利等）并给出修正建议。
- 批量结果组织：查询多个专利时，按单个专利整理结果，方便用户快速定位每个专利的信息。
- 不提供主观法律建议：仅呈现客观的家族数据，不提供关于专利范围、有效性或侵权的法律意见。
Important Limitations
重要限制
- Lookup only: This tool retrieves family information for known patents. It cannot perform keyword-based patent searches or full-text queries.
- Batch limit: A maximum of 100 patent IDs or publication numbers per request.
- Data source: Family data comes from the Zhihuiya (PatSnap) database and may have a slight delay relative to the very latest patent office publications.
- Family member detail: The family member arrays contain summary objects. For full bibliographic data on a specific family member, a separate lookup may be required.
- 仅支持查询：本工具仅检索已知专利的家族信息，无法执行基于关键词的专利搜索或全文查询。
- 批量限制：每次请求最多支持100个专利ID或公开号。
- 数据来源：家族数据来自智慧芽（PatSnap）数据库，可能与专利局最新公开信息存在轻微延迟。
- 家族成员详情：家族成员数组包含摘要对象，如需获取特定家族成员的完整著录数据，可能需要单独查询。
