get patent info from product description
In an era of rapid internet development and the rapid rise of e-commerce, online shopping is no longer distant from us and has even become essential. Our lives are surrounded by a dazzling array of product descriptions. Meanwhile, as awareness of intellectual property spreads, patents have become a focus of product promotion alongside various standards and certifications. However, many promotions give only a patent application number. Consumers cannot find out the patent's abstract or detailed description, or even verify whether the patent information is genuine. Some merchants exploit such vague concepts and information to mislead consumers. Some e-commerce product descriptions are filled with patent numbers and boast about a product's core technology or the size of a company's research team. Yet a simple assessment reveals that many of those numbers refer to design patents, which offer no reference for product quality, let alone the core technology mentioned in the description. A simple search also reveals that some patents have expired or do not exist at all. This deceives consumers and misuses patents.
This extension aims to address these problems by providing users browsing physical products with summaries of related patents for understanding and verification. It also provides information on patent value as a reference, helping users form an objective impression of the product and company, avoid false advertising, and inform their final purchasing decisions.
