USPTO General Info Data
This page includes general info data from the USPTO (https://patentsview.org/download/data-download-tables). I have merged data from ‘g_patent’, ‘g_application’, and ‘g_figures’.
Below is a link to a folder that includes all general info data for patents granted from January 1976 through December 2023. This folder includes nine different zip files. For ease of download and ease of importing, files are divided by patent number. File “info_non_utility.tsv.zip” includes all non-utility patents. File “info_5m.tsv.zip” includes all patents issued beginning January 1976 through patent number 5,000,000. File “info_6m.tsv.zip” includes all patents between patent number 5,000,001 and patent number 6,000,000. Etc, etc.
Each file contains the following columns:
Variable | Description |
patnum | Patent number |
appnum | Application number |
fdate | Filing date of patent (mm/dd/yyyy) |
idate | Issue (grant) date of patent (mm/dd/yyyy) |
