Customers can download the entire dataset containing the data for all indexed documents. There are over 13 million records in PEDS. The data can be accessed by anyone using the web interface or the provided Application Programming Interface (API). PEDS is updated daily and mirrors the data available in the Patent Application Location and Monitoring (PALM) system.
