Summary

Patent.patent_id is typed as int in types.py but is treated as a str everywhere it is used. This is a latent bug that will cause runtime type errors and confuses static analysis.

Work to do

  • Change the type annotation of Patent.patent_id from int to str in types.py.
  • Run mypy or pyright and fix any resulting type errors that surface.
  • Ensure no coercion (e.g., str(patent_id) or int(patent_id)) is needed at call sites after the fix.

Acceptance criteria

  • Patent.patent_id is annotated as str.
  • Static type checking passes without errors related to patent_id.
  • All existing tests pass.

Already resolved. types.py line 7: patent_id: str. The type annotation is correctly str, not int. Closing.
