I'm using Zotero 5.077, Firefox 70.0.1 (Apple) and the Zotero app to search patents on Google Patent.

However:
1. The abstracts and frequently the patent classifications don't download.
2. When simultaneously saving a group of patents, the literature entry becomes seriously mangled (fields left unfilled, !@#$%^&*-type characters sometimes appear, only a single name appears under the list of inventors)


Is there a fix? Am I neglecting something?


Thanks

PS - Saving the Googlepatent entries to GoogleScholar, followed by as .ris files won't include the desired data.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me.

For example, here is the URL for a search which I just conducted a few minutes back:
https://patents.google.com/?q=Lumera+AND+waveguide&oq=Lumera+AND+waveguide

If you have access to my library, then you can see the result of downloading the fist ten entries of that search. They are located in the folder/subsequent subfolder path sequence:
NLO - all collections/NLO - patent/Lumera AND Waveguide 1-10

Those ten entries are also mangled.

Thanks for looking into this.*

There may also be other issues, which I will first search for on your discussion forum.
