Typed Properties Specification (8 Fields)

Key Schema.org properties and sub-objects required to qualify for rich snippet treatment in Google Search.

PropertyExpected TypeStatusDescription & Example
namestringRequired

Official legal title of the patent grant or patent application.

e.g. Method and System for Zero-Latency Neural Vector Graph Traversal
patentNumberstringRequired

Official patent registration number granted by the government patent office (e.g. US-11894235-B2).

e.g. US-11894235-B2
applicationNumberstringRecommended

Initial application serial number assigned upon filing.

e.g. US-17/842,109
legalStatusstringRequired

Current statutory status (e.g., 'Active / Granted', 'Pending Examination', 'Expired').

e.g. Active / Granted
filingDatestring (ISO 8601)Required

Date when the patent application was originally filed.

e.g. 2024-03-20
datePublishedstring (ISO 8601)Required

Date of patent grant publication.

e.g. 2026-07-14
inventorPerson[]Required

Named engineers and scientific inventors holding intellectual property credit.

e.g. [ { '@type': 'Person', 'name': 'Dr. Aris Thorne' } ]
assignerOrganizationRequired

Corporate entity or university holding commercial ownership rights (Assignee).

e.g. { '@type': 'Organization', 'name': 'OmniSEOTools Technologies Inc.' }

Google Search Console Pitfalls & Critical Warnings

Avoid these 3 common validation traps, parser errors, and algorithmic policy penalties when deploying Patent schema.

warningPitfall #1

Invalid Patent Number Country Code Prefix

Omitting the country jurisdiction prefix (e.g. using '11894235' instead of 'US-11894235-B2').

GSC Impact:
Inability for international patent search engines to identify issuing jurisdiction.
Actionable Fix:

Always prefix patentNumber with standard country code and status suffix (e.g. US-XXXXXXX-B2, EP-XXXXXXX-A1).

errorPitfall #2

Unlinked Inventor Person or Assigner Organization

Using plain string arrays for inventors instead of typed Person objects.

GSC Impact:
Failure to credit inventors in Google Patents and Google Knowledge Graph graphs.
Actionable Fix:

Format inventors as nested Person entities and assigner as an Organization.

warningPitfall #3

Omitted filingDate vs publicationDate Temporal Disambiguation

Failing to distinguish between application filing date and official grant publication date.

GSC Impact:
Priority date ambiguity in intellectual property legal indexers.
Actionable Fix:

Explicitly provide both filingDate (initial application) and datePublished (grant date).

Recommended Implementation Scenarios

Corporate intellectual property and patent portfolio showcases
Patent law firm case study and filing archive pages
University technology transfer office invention disclosures
Open-source software defensive patent pledge repositories
