1You might want to seach this site with the bulk-download tag. Here are some relevant questions: patents.stackexchange.com/questions/17321/… and patents.stackexchange.com/questions/14449/…. Personally I like this site: lens.org/lens/new-search?type=PATENT– Eric SCommented Feb 8, 2019 at 18:01

Yes, most are publicaly available from the USPTO and google patents. I believe google has a way of bulk access. Unless non-publication is selected by the applicant, they are published at 18 months after the earliest claimed priority document. Most other countries do not allow non-publication. The 18 month publication date is uniform internationally.

I generally find The Lens to be more reliable and featured than google patents do I like to mention it in my answers.– Eric SCommented Feb 8, 2019 at 0:38
