Hey! This is the only way I can see to contact you, so here I go!

I'm the author and maintainer of patent_client, a library with a similar scope and feature set as your own. patent_client is under active development, and growing, so if you'd like, I'd love to have you contribute, or add a note on your readme pointing to it!

Dear Parker,

thanks a stack for reaching out to me. I think all the implementations within the uspto-opendata-python repository are pretty much outdated, so I will archive it soon, and point to your repository instead, as you suggested.

Because the PBD system has been decommissioned, and patent_client seems to include an API wrapper for the PEDS system already ^1, I think there is no reason to maintain this project any longer.

Thank you very much for conceiving such a comprehensive library. Without having used it yet, I love it already!

With kind regards, Andreas.
