A continuation of [[Redesigning Patent Database]] that aims to write faster, more centralized code to deal with data from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). By having an end-to-end pipeline we can easily reproduce or update data without worrying about unintentional side effects or missing data.

# Data Cleanup (reference [[Patent_Assignment_Data_Restructure|Marcela and Sonia's work]])
# Data Source Merger (''only USPTO granted, maintfee, assignment'' not USPTO applications or Harvard Dataverse or Lex Machina currently)
# Setup pipeline script to complete all of these steps in series
# Add constraints to database tables, e.g. correct types, foreign keys, not null, lookup tables
# Add deduplication
