Disambiguation of assignee id

Dear Patentsview team,

I'm working on patent assignee data and have the following question about assignee id: Did Patentsview take assignee name change into consideration when assigning assignee id? For example, Facebook changed its name from Facebook to Meta, does the company still have the same assignee id?

Thank you very much for your help and I greatly appreciate it!

Two different assignee ids

Hello Luman, 

We do not factor acquisition information or name changes into the assignee ids. So for this example of Facebook and Meta, the same company will have two different assignee ids as if they are separate companies. 

Best,

PVTeam
