Problem with search fields #3

Open ArtemMIPT opened 6 years ago

I tried to search on USPTO web site for patents of Amazon and the result was ~9000 patents. Using this library I found only ~600 patents.

I was searching for patents using expression: expression = 'firstNamedApplicant:(Amazon)'

What other fields can be used? (I tried some other fields, but result of search didn't change).

Dear Artem,

thanks for writing in. I'm also aware about some issues with this API, but i will have to investigate it more thoroughly before i can tell you about more details. I will try to catch some time during the next days, but i can't promise it to happen before christmas. Apologies in advance and thanks for your patience.

With kind regards, Andreas.
