Hello,
I found that there are many inventor missing in the 'rawinventor.tsv' file. For instance, there are 5 inventors listed for US patent number '10000007' but the 'rawinventor.tsv' file misses 4 inventors and only contains information on the last ordered inventor.
I was wondering if this 'rawinventor.tsv' file is the raw file directly downloaded from USPTO or any manipulation or cutoff has been done on the raw file before posting.
What I am actually looking for is all inventor ids and the corresponding sequence of each inventor in patents. It seems only the rawinventor.tsv file provides all patentID-inventorID-inventor sequence information, but the file misses many inventors... I also have checked 'patent_inventor.tsv' file and it seems to have all inventor IDs corresponding to each patent, but without corresponding inventor sequence information...
Please advise if there is anyway I can get all inventor information for all USPTO patents, or if I can obtain inventor sequence information corresponding to each row in the 'patent_inventor' file.
Thank you,
Ryan
