Context

Patent.patent_id is typed as int in types.py but is used as a str everywhere else in the codebase. This type mismatch causes confusion and will produce mypy/pyright errors.

Task

  • Change the type annotation for patent_id in types.py from int to str
  • Run a search for any explicit int() casts of patent_id that should be removed
  • Verify with mypy or pyright that no type errors remain related to this field

Acceptance Criteria

  • Patent.patent_id is typed as str in types.py
  • No int() conversions of patent_id remain
  • mypy (or pyright) passes without type errors on the affected files
  • Existing tests still pass
