How a mixed list becomes a review package.

1

Paste a mixed list

Paste one number per line or separate entries with semicolons. Do not use commas as separators because commas may be part of a US publication number. Keep CN and TW prefixes; supported local forms such as 特開 can also resolve.

2

Choose your versions

Keep the original PDF and add an available English counterpart. Google machine translations can be viewed through external links and are not included in downloads.

3

Review, name, download

Confirm the matched documents, edit filenames, and download your selected files as a ZIP. References that could not be resolved remain visible.

For prosecution document review

Bring foreign patent references into one review package without changing your docketing or case-management software.

English documents for IDS

For prior-art review

Use the same files for reading, searching and comparing documents in your existing analysis workflow. DownloadPatent collects documents; it does not assess novelty or infringement.

Explore English counterparts

Paste a mixed-office list without rewriting the source numbers.

Enter one patent number per line or separate entries with semicolons. A single list can mix US, EP, WO, CN, JP, KR and TW publications. Keep the office prefix for CN and TW and retain a kind code such as A1, B2 or S. Some local forms and application numbers can resolve to a published document, but the matched publication still needs your review.

There is no fixed limit on how many numbers you paste at once. Each account gets a free amount of patent PDFs; past that, each is charged from your credits, as the pricing page shows. Number recognition alone does not confirm that a source has a PDF.

Know what the ZIP contains and how each file is named.

Selected PDFs are placed at the ZIP root, not in jurisdiction folders. The normalized publication number is followed by a double underscore and a document label, for example CN104704658A__original.pdf. An available English counterpart uses the separate __english.pdf label when selected. Check the publication and version before saving files to a docket or evidence folder.

The cited original stays a distinct file. An English counterpart is an optional related document, not a replacement or translation of the cited original. Google machine-translation pages, when available, open externally and are not included in the ZIP.

Unresolved numbers stay visible while successful files continue.

A number that cannot be resolved or retrieved remains in the result so you can correct its prefix, publication number or kind code. Other successful documents can still be selected and downloaded. If no selected document is available, there is no useful ZIP to download; check the unresolved references and submit the corrected list.

For a step-by-step mixed-list process, read the batch patent PDF download guide alongside the coverage page's number examples.

Bulk patent download questions

Can I mix US, China, Japan and other patent numbers?
Yes. One list can mix supported US, EP, WO, CN, JP, KR and TW publication numbers. Use one number per line or semicolons between entries. Keep CN and TW prefixes and visible kind codes so the jurisdiction and document type stay clear.
How many patents can I paste at once?
There is no fixed limit for one paste. A signed-in account gets a free amount of patent PDFs; past that, each is charged from credits, as the pricing page shows. Other-language versions are US$0.03 each when found and delivered; the pricing page shows what Monthly includes.
What is inside the patent download ZIP?
The archive contains selected PDFs that were retrieved successfully, at the ZIP root rather than in country folders. Filenames start with a normalized publication number and use __original.pdf or, if selected and available, __english.pdf.
What happens when a patent number is not found?
The unresolved number stays in the results for review. Check its office prefix, publication number and kind code, then open the linked official search portal. Other successful files remain downloadable; the service does not silently substitute a family member.
Is the English file a translation of the cited patent?
No. It is a separate available publication from the patent family, not a translation of the cited original. A Google machine translation may be opened externally when available and is not part of the downloaded archive.
