Project - USPTO Assignees, Patent and Citation Data

Assignees Data

• Data source: patent database (merged data from patent_2015 and patentdata databases)
  • Issues: citations data contains non numeric patent numbers (likely application numbers, etc)
  • Solution:
    • Segregate into smaller tables so that Amir and Marcela can identify patterns
    • link back to appropriate patent numbers from the patent table
  • Time to implement: 1 day
  • Priority:
  • Teams waiting for it:
    • Marcela and Amir
      • Project : Patent data analysis
    • Jake and James, potentially could need this down the line
      • Project : LBO data
  • Deadline:

• Data Source: USPTO Bulk Data repository
  • Issues:
    • The script inserts copies of data into the tables.
    • Analysis required on the data to make sure the data was inserted correctly from the XML files.
    • Analysis is also required to determine whether this data is better than the data we have in the patent database right now.
      • Action owners : Amir and Marcela
  • Solution:
    • Amir and Marcela and/or I need to look at the data to determine quality
      • If they find that any of this data is better than the data we currently have, I will have to figure out a way to integrate this data into our data model for patent data.
    • Amir and Marcela and/or I will need to delete the copies

Project - Pattern Recognition on Patent Data through Machine Learning

• Data Source: The patent database.
  • Plan:
    • Technique
      • Determine research question to be asked
      • Scrub data
      • Determine 3-4 mining\machine learning techniques to best extract patterns
      • Train the algorithms
      • Run the algos on sample dataset
      • Determine the algo with best results
      • Implement the

    • Dataset to be cleaned, quality analyzed as specified above.
  • Deliverables
    • Set of patterns to base further research on
    • Research paper (?)
      • Documentation - Wiki page
  • Time to implement:
