'''FOR ED:Final Notes''' I finished adding going through the unique paths (you can see This is more or less the unique fields I identified at the bottom of this page, under "Finding New Paths Unique to Plant, Reissue, and/or Design Patents". Then, under my finalized design for the patent database. Oliver Chang's code (see Reproducible Patent DatabaseData, there's a new section called "Unique Attributes Tables" where I've begun detailing a design for three new tables that would include information that which is unique to Design, Reissue, and Plant tables. Here are some questions I have: '''1.''' Do you like his project page) more or less fits the design for the new tables? How do you think we should populate these tables? I can think of one way (putting all the information in the main patent tables and then moving it out to Plant, Reissue, or Design as needed) but I was wondering if though there might be an easier way. '''2.''' There were are some unique attributes to utility patents that I also included in "Finding New Paths Unique to Plant, Reissue, differences and/or Design Patents". They only appear to be expect differences in two of the oldest XML versions (4.1 and 4variable names.0) and I'm not sure In the information is particularly useful - but please take a look at future the field names and let me know if you disagree and think they are useful and code should be included in a altered so that the name of variables match up and each table that is listed here exists in the patent database. '''3.''' Do you know what some of these fields represent? For example, I've been trying to research online what a "Parent Document" and/or "Parent Grant Document" might represent The tables for the extra variables that exist for a reissue patent, design, and I've found a couple possible options. I will keep researchingplant patents have been added, but if you know what they represent or one of my descriptions and the instructions for a field is wrong, please let me knowadding tables can be found on Reproducible Patent Data.
This is an extension of the work I did last semester under "Redesigning Patent Database". Instead of simply reconfiguring the existing database, this project encompasses and full redesign and creation of a new Patent database and a new Assignment database that will be joined together.
