When looking for claim data, only the first line of claim data is ingested.

Claims can contain many lines of text. An example:

<claim id="CLM-00001" num="00001">
<claim-text>1. An imaging lens system including, in order from an object side to an image side:
<claim-text>a first lens element having a concave image-side surface;</claim-text>
<claim-text>a second lens element;</claim-text>
<claim-text>a third lens element with negative refractive power having a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface, the object-side and image-side surfaces thereof being aspheric;</claim-text>
<claim-text>a fourth lens element with positive refractive power having a convex image-side surface; and</claim-text>
<claim-text>a fifth lens element with negative refractive power having a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface, the object-side and image-side surfaces thereof being aspheric, each of the object-side and image-side surfaces thereof being provided with at least one inflection point;</claim-text>
<claim-text>wherein there are a total of five lens elements in the imaging lens system, and a gap exists between every two adjacent lens elements along an optical axis of the imaging lens system.</claim-text>
</claim-text>
</claim>

Results in claim data being the following:

'claim_information': [{'id': 'CLM-00001', 'num': '00001', 'claim_text': ['1. An imaging lens system including, in order from an object side to an image side:\n']}
