Inventor gender information

I saw that the bulk download files now contain a table with the gender of the identified inventors.

Is there any information available on how this data was generated and maybe indications to its quality? Is it raw data from patent applications or also generated from some sort of algorithm (that probably assigns a gender based on the name?)

Re: Response to Inventor Gender Information

Hi,

The inventor gender data was created using the algorithm described in the methods report that was generated for the purpose of the USPTO data report on inventors.

You can find the methods report here.  Additionally, you can find more information on the USPTO data report here

Thank you,
