Code below perfoms Google patent search for phrase "clock domain". However, most of the result searched links are found broken when it is clicked.

I suppose the problem is comng from Google class [ either "google.search.SearchControl();" or "google.search.PatentSearch()"] and Google does not know that (it is hard for me to believe).

Anyone has any idea please?

It looks like the URI schema changed, and the Patent Search API wasn't altered to reflect the new format. I would guess that Adam, who already responded, will figure out a real solution. In the meantime, you could probably write a workaround which would intercept the search results and remove the "about?id=" from the link.

Hi folks,

We've confirmed the problem and are working on a solution. It will take a few days to deploy, but won't require any action on your end. If you're still seeing the issue by next weekend, please let us know.

Thanks,

Adam
