Ecommerce Patent Title Abstract Translation

Zhihuiya Patent Abstract (Translated)

This skill guides you on how to retrieve translated patent titles and abstracts from the Zhihuiya (PatSnap) patent database, supporting Chinese, English, and Japanese translations.

Core Concepts

Zhihuiya (PatSnap) is a leading patent intelligence platform. This tool queries its database to return translated titles and abstracts for a single patent per request. You can look up patents by patent ID or publication (announcement) number, and receive translations in Chinese, English, or Japanese.

Patent identification: Each patent can be identified by either a patentId (internal Zhihuiya identifier) or a patentNumber (public publication/announcement number such as US20200012345A1 or CN112345678A). If both are provided, the patent ID takes priority.

Family patent fallback: When the original patent has no abstract available, you can optionally substitute the abstract from a related family patent by enabling the replacement option.

Parameter Guide

Key Rules

1. At least one identifier is required: You must provide either patentId or patentNumber (or both). If both are supplied, patentId takes priority.
2. Single patent per request: Only one patent may be passed per request. If the user has multiple patents, obtain explicit consent and make a separate call for each.
3. Default language is English: When the user does not specify a language, use en.
4. Family fallback: Set replaceByRelated to 1 only when the user explicitly wants a substitute abstract from a family patent if the original is missing.

Single Patent Limit: This endpoint consumes many credits. If you need to check multiple patents, you must obtain explicit user consent and make separate requests. Each call can only pass one patent (patentId and patentNumber cannot be comma-separated into multiple values).

Response Fields

Usage Examples

1. Translate a single patent abstract to English by publication number

Look up patent number US20200012345A1 and give me the English abstract.

Parameters: patentNumber = "US20200012345A1", lang = "en"

2. Look up by patent ID with family fallback

Get the Japanese abstract for patent ID 12345678. If the abstract is unavailable, use a family patent instead.

Parameters: patentId = "12345678", lang = "jp", replaceByRelated = 1

Display Rules

1. Present data clearly: Show results in a well-structured table with patent number, title, and abstract.
2. Indicate language: Mention the translation language in the output header so users know which language the results are in.
3. Family patent notice: If pnRelated is present in any result, explicitly inform the user that the abstract was sourced from a family patent and show the substitute publication number.
4. Long abstracts: For very long abstracts, display the full text without truncation so users can review the complete content.
5. Error handling: When a query fails or returns no results, explain the likely cause (e.g., invalid patent number, patent not found in database) and suggest corrections.
6. No subjective commentary: Present the translated text as-is without adding interpretation or legal analysis of the patent content.

Invocation

• API Endpoint: POST /zhihuiya/abstractDataTranslated (full parameters/response/error codes in references/api.md)
• Python Script: python scripts/patent_title_abstract_translation.py '<JSON params>' [--inline]
• Cost Constraints: This tool consumes credits. The same parameter combination defaults to a single call per session. The script includes a 24-hour local cache. Do not automatically retry with different keywords, pagination, or modified parameters on failure or empty results; inform the user that additional costs will be incurred before continuing to search. Single Patent Limit: This endpoint consumes many credits. Each call can only pass one patent; if you need to check multiple patents, you must obtain explicit user consent and make separate requests.

Output Strategy (default script behavior):

• Always write the full response to <cwd>/nexscope/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<session>/data/nexscope-zhihuiya-abstract-data-translated-<timestamp>.json (<cwd> is the working directory at script execution time, which in Claude Code is the current project directory; <session> is taken from the SESSION_ID environment variable, auto-grouped by user task; writing to /tmp is forbidden -- error if the current directory is not writable)
• Response body <= 8 KB: print the full JSON to stdout after writing to disk
• Response body > 8 KB: print only a summary to stdout after writing to disk (top-level fields, common counts like total/costToken, length of the largest list field + first 3 samples)
• Add --inline to force full output to stdout (still writes to disk)

Data Reading Tip: Check the summary first to determine if it is sufficient; when specific fields are needed, prefer using jq or ConvertFrom-Json to extract from the saved JSON file on demand to avoid loading the entire JSON into context.

Important Limitations

• Identifier required: At least one of patent ID or publication number must be provided; the tool cannot perform keyword-based searches.
• Translation languages: Only Chinese (cn), English (en), and Japanese (jp) are supported.
• No full-text retrieval: This tool returns only titles and abstracts, not full patent claims or descriptions.
• Family replacement is optional: The substitute family patent abstract is only provided when explicitly requested via replaceByRelated = 1.
