Image Search helps you search for design patents or utility patents using multiple images (up to four). By default, the similarity is sorted from high to low, and one call can return up to 100 similar patents.

Note: 1.Support JPG and PNG, File size limit is 4MB .The similar image path is valid for 9 hour and will be emptied after expiration. 2.Up to 4 image URLs can be uploaded in a single search. 3.When the model is selected as 1 (Smart Recommendation), it will predict the LOC of the first image and rearrange similar patents, that is, the order of uploads of multiple images under the model can lead to differences in retrieval results. 4.This API supports returning Top100 similar patents. If you need to obtain similar patents ranked lower, please pay attention to the setting of the request parameter (offset). 5.If you need to use local images for retrieval, you can first call the [[P010] Image Search Get Image Url] API to obtain the url accessible to the public network by uploading an image. 6.Currently, the classification data for CA's appearance patents is being updated. It is recommended that customers do not fill in both the country and loc conditions simultaneously.
