Patent Search
Search EPO and USPTO by technology, assignee, or date, then read the full record: bibliography, claims, family, and legal status.
Command Line
The FlowLeap backend, in your terminal.
One CLI for patent search, literature, legal research, citations, and full-corpus analytics, built for humans and the AI agents you work alongside. Stable JSON, documented exit codes, and a dry-run for every request.

$ flowleap patent search --query "solid-state battery" --limit 5✓ 5 results across EPO + USPTO$ flowleap analytics --keyword battery --country US --date-from 2020-01-01✓ 12,480 filings · trend +18% · top CPC H01M$ flowleap --json summary EP1000000Twenty-six commands, one binary.
The same patent data behind the FlowLeap workspace, scriptable from your shell.
Query Builder
Turn a plain-English question into a CQL or USPTO query, and dry-run it to see the exact request before it runs.
Literature & Law
Academic papers, non-patent literature, and hybrid search over patent-law references: MPEP, EPC, and EPO guidelines.
Examiner Citations
Backward and forward citations with X, Y, and A examiner categories, so you see what destroys novelty and what only frames it.
Full-Corpus Analytics
Filing trends, top countries, assignees, and CPC breakdowns across 170 million publications, returned in seconds.
Documents & Claims
OCR a patent PDF, analyze a claim's elements, or pull a one-call summary, timeline, comparison, or figures for any patent.
Agent-grade by design.
Every command is safe to hand to a model: predictable output, predictable failure, and a next step on every error.
Stable JSON everywhere
Add --json to any command for a machine-readable envelope. --dry-run prints the exact request first, so an agent never guesses.
Documented exit codes
Every run exits with a documented code (3 for auth, 4 for subscription, 6 for rate limit), so a script can branch without parsing output.
Structured failure hints
Failures carry a hint that tells an agent exactly what to do next: log in, add a provider key, back off, or surface an upgrade URL to a human.
Install in One Line

npm
npm i -g flowleapQuick Install (macOS / Linux)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abdullahatrash/flowleap-cli/main/install.sh | shFrom Source (Rust)
cargo install --git https://github.com/abdullahatrash/flowleap-cli.gitThe npm package runs no install scripts. The native binary is downloaded on first run, verified against the release checksum, and published with npm provenance. Binaries cover macOS, Linux (including a static musl build), and Windows.
Access & Sign-In
The CLI is free and open source. The patent-data commands call the FlowLeap backend, which needs an account.
A FlowLeap plan
Data commands require a FlowLeap account with an active plan — a free trial is available. Without one, commands return a clear 402 with an upgrade URL, never a silent failure.
Headless & CI
Sign in once with flowleap auth login, then mint a revocable token with flowleap auth create-token and export FLOWLEAP_TOKEN wherever the CLI runs.
Skills for Your Agents
Bundled Agent Skills teach any model how to use FlowLeap, installed straight into the harness it already loads.
One install command
flowleap skills install writes SKILL.md documentation, or a condensed rules file, into the location your agent auto-loads. flowleap skills update keeps it fresh.
Every major harness
Target Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Gemini CLI, at user level or per project. Twenty-eight skills ship inside the binary and install offline.
Twelve workflow recipes
Multi-step playbooks your agent runs end to end: prior art, freedom-to-operate, claim analysis, office-action response, invalidity, and infringement charting.
