Redesigning Patent Database (view source)
Revision as of 09:53, 13 April 2017
, 09:53, 13 April 2017→How to run Perl Scripts to extract Patent Data
For USPTO Assignment Data, there appears
to be a script, under McNair/usptoAssignment, called USPTO_Assignee_Download, which appears
to let a user pass it a text file (file ending in.txt) which contains the url and (s) of the assignment data that needs to be downloaded. The script then ir downloads all th the zip files available at that URL. An example called BaseUrls.txt (containing the url that you will probably be using to download the assignment data, unless you're downloading the data from this currrent year, which is in a different link) can be found in McNair/usptoAssignment It then places the
downloaded zip files in "E:/McNair/usptoAssigneeData/name", where "name" is the name of the file. If you want to check
which files have already been processed, check "McNair/usptoAssigneeData/Finished" to see the finished zip files. (In the future, this should be updated, if possible to specify which years to download, since all assignment data that is not from this current year is under one url, and we've already downloaded most of it.)
