title: Using Google patent api
body: <p>I simply want to find out the owner of a patent using Python and the Google patent search API.</p>
  
  <pre><code>import urllib2
  import json
  
  url = ('https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/patent?' +
         'v=1.0&amp;q=barack%20obama')
  
  request = urllib2.Request(url, None, {})
  response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
  
  # Process the JSON string.
  print json.load(response)
  # now have some fun with the results...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This result does not tell about assignee. How can I get it?</p>
