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.
