==Table Purpose==
<section begin="partycount" />The Party Count Table records the number of parties involved in a transaction and specifies the patents involved in the given assignment. The table combines the Assignor and Assignee Count Tables in a more usable format. Additionally, the table illustrates a history of ownership of a patent, which may be considered as an indicator for patent litigation risk in the [[Little Guy Academic Paper]].<section end="partycount" />
