PATSTAT - patentsview concordance update 2019

PatentsView  is a platform built on data derived from USPTO bulk data files.

This dataset complements perfectly PATSTAT since the former has an native disambiguation of inventors and applicants and a geocoding system applied to inventors and applicants, while the latter links US data to other offices, allowing to calculate knowledge spillovers, family data etc.

At this link is possible to download a table of concordance between patent_id (Patentsview main key) and appln_id (from PATSTAT).

Overlapping of the two datasets is not perfect since Patentsview contains only granted patents after 1975, where PATSTAT has also application (ungranted) and timeframe covers also pre-1975 data.
On the other hand PATSTAT misses design patents before 2001,  plants before 2001 and 'statutory invention registration' type of patent.

Data are from PATSTAT spring 2019 and Patentsview march 2019, thus also 2019 data in PW are partially missing in PATSTAT.
