What this API does

Detect design-patent risks by comparing a product image with patent records across more than 25 jurisdictions. The request accepts imageUrl, queryMode, topNumber, regions, productTitle. Its documented result includes applicationNumber, publicationNumber, patentProd, patentProdCn, similarity, patentImageUrl, images, abstracts.

Design Patent Risk Check API use cases

Investigate a product IP question

To investigate a product ip question, a compliance analyst submits imageUrl and queryMode to Design Patent Risk Check. The returned applicationNumber, publicationNumber, patentProd help identify records relevant to the proposed product.

Collect records for an IP review

A compliance analyst uses Design Patent Risk Check with imageUrl and queryMode to collect records for an ip review. The returned applicationNumber, publicationNumber, patentProd help collect bibliographic evidence for a specialist review.

Document evidence for specialist assessment

For this workflow, a compliance analyst calls Design Patent Risk Check with imageUrl and queryMode to document evidence for specialist assessment. The result helps document the records supporting an IP research question.

Step 1 of 3 · Authenticate

Authentication

All run endpoints require a user API key. Send it as a bearer token in the Authorization header.

Authorization: Bearer nk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Missing or invalid API keys return an authentication error. Manage keys from .

Step 2 of 3 · Send a request

POSThttps://api.nexscope.ai/rg/detectionPatentDesign

Run an API

Send a JSON request body using the parameters described below.

Example request

Replace YOUR_API_KEY, then run this command in your terminal.

curl -X POST 'https://api.nexscope.ai/rg/detectionPatentDesign' \

Read code for the request status and data for the result. Open the parameter and response reference for the full field definitions.

HTTP status codes

CodeDescription
200Default HTTP response for both success and many business errors. Only outer JSON code 0 indicates success or asynchronous acceptance; inspect data for the result.
429Execution admission rate limit; honor Retry-After when present.
503Execution admission is temporarily unavailable; honor Retry-After when present.
Opt-inX-Nexscope-Http-Status: semantic maps controller-handled business errors to HTTP status on run and task routes. Pre-authentication failures, such as a missing API key (code 11209), may still return HTTP 200 before this mapping. Always check the outer JSON code; malformed requests and infrastructure failures may also return non-200 HTTP responses.

Step 1 of 2 · Connect your MCP client

MCP

V2 recommended

Connect remote agents through the standard MCP 2025-11-25 Streamable HTTP endpoint. Use OAuth 2.1 Authorization Code with PKCE, or an API key for compatibility.

POST https://api.nexscope.ai/mcp
MCP-Protocol-Version: 2025-11-25
Content-Type: application/json
Authentication

OAuth clients request the mcp:tools scope. The endpoint's 401 response advertises protected-resource metadata for authorization discovery.
