Redesign Assignment and Patent Database (view source)
Revision as of 15:42, 26 October 2017
, 15:42, 26 October 2017→Patent Database Structure
The foreign key that connects every table is patent_number, which uniquely identifies every patent in the PATENT table and is included in every table.
Full list of tables: patent, assignee, citation, fee, claims, histpatent, lawyers, inventors Update: These tables, as of October 26, are being updated and changed as I determine what data can actually be retrieved from the XML files based on the xpaths that we have determined (you can see these xpaths on the "Equivalent XPath and APS Queries" project page.
