Error in Assignee Organization

This is one of my own patents so I know it well.

http://www.patentsview.org/api/patents/query?q={"patent_number":"9029680"}&f=["patent_number","patent_title","assignee_organization"]

It returns:

{"patents":[{"patent_number":"9029680","patent_title":"Integration of a photovoltaic device","assignees":[{"assignee_organization":"Analog Devices, Inc.","assignee_key_id":"57922"}]}],"count":1,"total_patent_count":1}

The organization name is WRONG it should be Alta Devices.

I have downloaded the assignee.tsv file and Alta Devices is not in the file.  If I do a search on the USPTO I see 66 patents issued.

Something is amiss.

Re: Response to ERROR IN ASSIGNEE ORGANIZATION

Hi Andy,

Thank you for bringing up this issue.

The current assignee disambiguation algorithm has a tendency to over-bucket organization names, thus leading to the error you brought up. We are implementing an updated algorithm that will go live with the next update (planned for December 2018).  Additionally, we have included your patent in our preliminary data and confirmed that the data using the new algorithm correctly assigns your patent's assignee organization to “Alta Devices, Inc.”.

Thank you,

PVTeam

Do you have a date when the next update is to go live.  I tested on Dec 6 and still not getting any patents assigned to Alta Devices; there should be 66.
