RECENT NEWS

The PatentsView database is current through December 31, 2019. All data are accessible through the web tool, API, query builder tool, and bulk downloads.
The PatentsView database has been updated to fix an issue in the disambiguation algorithm for the location and assignee data tables. The location county process was retooled to ensure the correct assignment of counties to city/state pairs. In addition, the foreign priority date field has been updated to fill in missing dates for patents granted before 2004. Lastly null records have been removed from drawing description text, other reference, brief summary text, botanic and related application text tables.
PatentsView recently launched a Community Site to allow users to engage with each other and the PatentsView team. Contribute to the forum discussions, submit posts about data work, and give us your feedback.
New data fields are available through the API and bulk downloads. They include examiner information, PCT data, priority data, and other fields.
The PatentsView 2017 Workshop on Engaging User Communities was held on October 6, 2017 on USPTO campus. Learn more about the event.

Patenting in the West Coast Region
The West Coast is a hub of high technology, from information and computing technology to aerospace. Silicon Valley, Southern California (San Diego to Los Angeles) and the Seattle metropolitan area dominate this region in terms of patent production. As we see in the map, the area outside Portland, Oregon as well as Las Vegas and Phoenix are also hotbeds of innovation.
