Go to the Forum >The PatentsView database is current through March 31, 2020. All data are accessible through the web tool, API, query builder tool, and bulk downloads. The next update is planned to go live August 2020 and will include data through June 30, 2020.
All PV bulk download files have been regenerated and now all non-numeric fields are encased in double quotes. This new format should make it easier for PatentsView data users to accurately read-in the data files. The PatentsView team has posted scripts to assist users with the new files on GitHub - https://github.com/CSSIP-AIR/PatentsView-Code-Snippets/tree/master/03_bulk_download_read_in
A detailed list of the bulk download edits (and upcoming edits) can be found here: https://github.com/CSSIP-AIR/PatentsView-DB/releases/tag/2020.03.22v1

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.
