Just wanted to verify my observation. When I call the API asking for granted patents for a calendar year (2017-01-01 to 2017-12-31) the "total_patent_count" seems to max out at 100000.

I test this by asking for granted patents for each month in 2017 and, by adding total_patent_count from the 12 responses, came up with 550,990

Does  "total_patent_count": 100000 mean there are EXACTLY 100,000 records matching the query or there are AT LEAST 100,000 records matching the query?

The actual count would be helpful, maybe not performant,  but a clear indication there are more would be even better.

Thanks

Mike
