Location of patent grants

Dear PV-Team, 

as a student from Germany, I am soon starting to write my master thesis about regional influence factors (i.e. university faculties) on Artificial Intelligence innovation, measured by AI patents. 

For that, I am planning to use the Artificial Intelligence Patent Dataset by the USPTO. Unfortunately, it does not provide any information on the location of filing. On your "Data Dictionary" page, I saw that some of your datasets contain information on different locations, which could maybe be linked to the patent ID? Do you have any ideas which datasets would be useful here or find the relevant information? 

Thank you really much in advance! 

Kind regards, Clara

LOCATION OF PATENT GRANTS

Thank you for your question and interest in PatentsView and the AIPD!

The AIPD may be linked to PatentsView data using variable doc_id, where variable flag_patent is 1 for granted U.S. patents and 0 for U.S. Pre-Grant Publications (PGPubs). Granted patents may be merged with the PatentsView granted patent tables (see https://patentsview.org/download/data-download-dictionary) and PGPubs with the PatentsView PGPub tables (see https://patentsview.org/download/pg-data-download-dictionary), where AIPD variable doc_id is patent_id in the PatentsView granted patent tables, and AIPD variable doc_id is pgpub_id in the PatentsView PGPub tables.

One choice to be made is whether to analyze the location of inventors and/or the location of assignees (assignees being the owners of the intellectual property rights). For example, one could merge the AIPD with the applicable PatentsView table, e.g., g_inventor_disambiguated, and then use the PatentsView variable location_id to find the disambiguated location. Note “disambiguated” refers to data that has been analyzed by PatentsView to removed, for example, spelling errors and variables, while “not_disambiguated” refers to the “raw” data as found on the printed patent and PGPub.

Relevant tables may include

                Granted patents:

                                g_inventor_disambigated

                                g_inventor_not_disambiguated

                                g_assignee_disambiguated

                                g_assignee_not_disambiguated

                                g_location_disambigated

                                g_location_not_disambiguated

                                Also:

                                                g_application

                                                g_patent

                                Note there is also a g_applicant_not_disambiguated table for applicants who are not inventors (raw data only)           

                Similarly for PGPubs:

                                pg_inventor_disambigated

                                pg_inventor_not_disambiguated

                                pg_assignee_disambiguated

                                pg_assignee_not_disambiguated

                                pg_location_disambigated

                                pg_location_not_disambiguated

                                Also:

                                                pg_published_application

                                                pg_granted_pgpubs_crosswalk (note: may be limited to only PGPubs that have been granted a patent)

                                There is also a pg_applicant_not_disambiguated table for applicants who are not inventors (raw data only)

See Supplementary file1, especially Appendix F, found at: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10961-021-09900-2#additional-information for additional information regarding combining the AIPD with PatentsView.
