This project describes the build out and basic use of the USPTO Assignment Dataset.

The data is described in a USPTO Economic Working Paper by Marco, Myers, Graham and others: https://www.uspto.gov/sites/default/files/documents/USPTO_Patents_Assignment_Dataset_WP.pdf


Pre-load checks

The data is large. We don't have space on the main dbase server for it.

df -h
/dev/nvme1n1p2  235G  208G   15G  94% /var/postgresql

Note: To check dbase space usage on the dbase server see Posgres_Server_Configuration#Size.2C_Backup_.26_Restore.

The postgres dbase on the RDP, however, currently has more than 300Gb free and is on a solid state drive, so its performance should be acceptable.
