Redesigning Patent Database (view source)
Revision as of 10:03, 13 April 2017
, 10:03, 13 April 2017→For the Main Patent Data
Notes:
*You may need to fix the base url in the script. The USPTO has changed it before. It is currently: https://bulkdata.uspto.gov/data2/patent/grant/redbook
*Instead of taking a text file containing a url, as the USPTO_Assignee Download does, it takes two arguments, year 1 and year2, which are supposed to represent the range of data that you wish to download (for example, 2015 to 2016).
*The perl script places the downloaded zip files into "E:/McNair/PatentData/name" where "name" is the name of the zip file.
*The folder "Processed" under McNair/PatentData appears to hold all the unzipped zip files that have been downloaded and processed already. So if you are curious if some files have already been processed, you could look there. They are organized by year.
