Curated by Skill Harbor: a data-gathering workflow for official United States patent and trademark records from USPTO systems. It prefers official surfaces first (Open Data Portal, Patent File Wrapper, PatentSearch API, TSDR Data API, assignment search, PTAB data) and treats secondary indexes like Google Patents or Lens.org as convenience only, cross-checking the official record whenever the answer matters. Includes a PatentSearch JSON query workflow with a Python request skeleton (explicit filters, deterministic sort and pagination), a TSDR workflow for trademark status, documents, and owner history (normalize serial numbers, respect the lower rate limits on document downloads), file-wrapper and prosecution-history lookup, an assignment workflow (conveyance text, execution vs. recordation dates, distinguishing assignment records from legal ownership conclusions), and a reproducible research log table separating official facts from inferred analysis. Ends with a review checklist: official source first, endpoints verified before running code, keys kept out of files and logs, rate limits respected, legal conclusions escalated. By @affaan-m, listed here with credit to its creator. From the affaan-m/ECC repository (MIT). Honest caveats: requires USPTO/PatentsView API keys for the API flows (see the prerequisites in the install prompt); data gathering only, it gives no legal advice and flags ownership conclusions for attorney review. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use.
Version:
Install
Copy the install package below, then paste it into MuseWe automatically scan every listing and flag anything suspicious, but we can't review every line of community code. Here's how to check a build yourself before you install it.
Use "USPTO Database" with your Muse. Prerequisites: USPTO and/or PatentsView API keys for the API flows (export USPTO_API_KEY and/or PATENTSVIEW_API_KEY as environment variables, never in committed files or pasted transcripts). The Muse app (mobile or web) for the planning side. Check the current USPTO API Manager instructions before starting, as endpoints and rate limits change. 1. Open the skill: https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC/blob/main/skills/scientific-db-uspto-database/SKILL.md and copy the full SKILL.md text. 2. Paste it into a chat with Muse and add: "Look up [the patent / the trademark / the assignment history] for [number, name, or assignee]. Start with the official USPTO record." 3. Ask Muse to keep a reproducible log table (source, date searched, identifier/query, filters, results, notes) and to flag anything needing legal review. Tip: when the answer matters, always cross-check the official record. Secondary indexes are convenient but they are not the record. Safety: a skill is plain-text instructions; it runs nothing by itself. This is data gathering only, never legal advice. Keep API keys out of files and logs, never paste secrets into a chat, and review anything Muse proposes before it acts.

Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
