Redesign Assignment and Patent Database (view source)

* parent_doc_date (date) probably the date the parent document was published
In addition to parent document, there is a subcategory that has the same fields (minus status) called parent_grant_document. This is probably a patent that has been granted, given that the field names includes grant, but I am not sure. Again, I am not sure of what all of these fields reprentrepresent
* parent_grant_doc_number (int) number for the parent grant document
* parent_grant_doc_country (varchar(255)) the country of the parent grant document
* parent_grant_doc_date (date) probably the date the parent grant document was published
It is possible that the parent document is the parent application - that is, the first patent application filed in regards to an invention. That would explain why Reissue also has several fields related to a child document - a child document could be a child application, which is filed while a parent application is still pending. So in this case, a child document of a reissue patent would be an application regarding the same patent that was filed while the reissue application was still pending. A child document is either a continuation, disclosure, or continuation-in-part [http://www.patenttrademarkblog.com/parent-and-child-patent-applications/ source]
