==Table Purpose==

The Patent ID Table contains a record of all patents and patent applications involved in US assignments. The table includes all types of patents as well as foreign patents. Since the table identifies the type of patent as well as whether the patentid corresponds to a patent or an application number, the patents of interest, [[Patent Types|utility patents]], for the McNair Center academic projects may be distinguished and separated. Additionally, the Patent ID Table tracks the assignment history of a patent.
