Changes

1. Do you like design for the new tables? How do you think we should populate these tables? I can think of one way (putting all the information in the main patent tables and then moving it out to Plant, Reissue, or Design as needed) but I was wondering if there might be an easier way.

2. There were some unique attributes to utility patents that I also included in "Finding New Paths Unique to Plant, Reissue, and/or Design Patents". They only appear to be in two of the oldest XML versions (4.1 and 4.0) and I'm not sure the information is particularly useful - but please take a look at the field names and let me know if you disagree and think they are useful and should be included in a table in the patent database.

3. Do you know what some of these fields represent? For example, I've been trying to research online what a "Parent Document" and/or "Parent Grant Document" might represent for a reissue patent, and I've found a couple possible options. I will keep researching, but if you know what they represent or one of my descriptions for a field is wrong, please let me know.
