In order to restructure the current patent dataset, the data requires rigorous cleaning. The primary areas for improvement are:
- 1. Clean ptoassignment table to unique keys.
- 2. Clean ptoproperties to remove nonutility patents. The patent numbers currently include:
- 7 digit patent numbers
- application numbers
- unknown numbers that cannot be matched to patent numbers in the patent table
- 20090108066
- 20100007288
- 20090108066
- 20100110022
- Design and Reissue patents ('%D%' or '%RE%')
- alphanumeric character strings
- 3. Restructure address information in ptoassignee table to extract meaningful information
- 4. Verify that cleaned patent documentids correspond to patent numbers or application numbers in the patent table
- 5. Restructure address information in ptoassignment table
- 6. Transform structure of the dataset

Semester Plan
The final deliverable for the semester is a table with the following structure:
Reel No | Frame No | Invention Title | Filing Date | Patent No | Application No | Publication No | Match By
The schema of the table will be:
Column | Type | Modifiers -----------------+-----------------------+----------- Reel No | integer | Frame No | integer | Invention Title | character varying(500)| Filing Date | date | Patent No | integer | Application No | integer | Publication No | integer | Match By | integer |
Currently the pto tables contain varying identifiers for one invention title that is involved in a reassignment. The purpose of the table is to have each identifier for an invention title listed in a single row, making it easy to track the invention through various transactions. The Match By column will inform the user which identifier should be used to match to other tables in the patent database.
Data Cleanup Progress
Patent Number Cleanup
The goal is to only have assignment records on utility patents. The patents in ptoproperty include alphanumerics which represent reissue and design patents as well as mistakes in the data input. Additionally, the documentids include application numbers or ids and publication numbers. The ptoproperty table stores the patent ids as character strings.
First the duplicates were dropped from the ptoproperty table creating ptoproperty_cleaned.
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (SELECT DISTINCT * FROM ptoproperty) As T; --27266638 SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ptoproperty_cleaned; --27266638
Next, the Reissue and Design patents were removed.
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ptoproperty WHERE documentid LIKE 'RE%'; --38512
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ptoproperty WHERE documentid LIKE 'D%'; --1128247
Restructure Address Information
The dbase is patent.
The table is ptoassigneend.
SQL code and other things are in:
E:/McNair/Projects/PatentAddress
IO files are on the dbase server in:
Z:/PatentAddress
- 1. Introduction
- Five features (addrline1, addrline2, city, country, postcode) in the table contain address information.
- Features addrline1, addrline2 and city are not cleaned. They have city, country and postcode information.
- The object of this project is to extract city, country and postcode information from the three features above.
- By now, we only focus on cleaning American patents.
- 2. Tables
- ptoassigneend_allus
- This table contains all the U.S. patents extracted from ptoassigneend table. The rule to extract this table is 'country = 'UNITED STATES' ' or any of the features contains U.S. postcode.
- The SQL code is:
CREATE TABLE ptoassigneend_allus AS SELECT * FROM ptoassigneend WHERE city ~* '.*\d{5}[-]\d{4}.*' OR addrline1 ~* '.*\d{5}[-]\d{4}.*' OR addrline2 ~* '.*\d{5}[-]\d{4}.*' OR postcode ~* '.*\d{5}[-]\d{4}.*' OR country ~* 'UNITED STATES'; SELECT 3572682
Table "public.ptoassigneend_allus" Column | Type | Modifiers reelno | integer | frameno | integer | name | character varying(500) | addrline1 | character varying(500) | addrline2 | character varying(500) | city | character varying(500) | state | character varying(500) | country | character varying(500) | postcode | character varying(80) |
- The ptoassigneend_allus table may miss some U.S. patents.
- ptoassigneend_missus_final
- State and postcode information are extracted from addrline1, addrline2 and city columns and are stored in ptoassigneend_missus_final table. See section 3 and 4.
- This table is a subset of ptoassigneend_allus table.
Table "public.ptoassigneend_missus_final" Column | Type | Modifiers reelno | integer | frameno | integer | name | character varying(500) | addrline1 | character varying(500) | addrline2 | character varying(500) | city | character varying(500) | state | character varying(500) | country | character varying(500) | postcode | character varying(80) | postcode_city | text | postcode_addr1 | text | postcode_addr2 | text | state_city | text | state_addr1 | text | state_addr2 | text |
- postcode_city is the postcode extracted from 'city'. postcode_addr1 is the postcode extracted from 'addrline1'. postcode_addr2 is the postcode extracted from 'addrline2'.
- state_city is the state name extracted from 'city'. state_addr1 is the state name extracted from 'addrline1'. state_addr2 is the state name extracted from 'addrline2'.
- ptoassigneend_city
- City information are extracted from addrline1, addrline2 and city columns and are stored in ptoassigneend_city table. See section 5.
- This table is a subset of ptoassigneend_allus table.
- 3. Postcode(U.S.)
- U.S. post code follows the pattern [five digits - four digits]. In this way, U.S. patents can be extracted by searching for post code with regular expression "(^|\s)\d{5}-\d{4}($|\s)"
- For example,
city | postcode_city NEW YORK, NY 10022-3201 | 10022-3201 BEAVERTON, OREGON 97005-6453 | 97005-6453 SANTA BARBARA, CA 93130-3003 | 93130-3003 NEW YORK NY 10022-3201 | 10022-3201 SUNNYVALE, CA 94088-3453 | 94088-3453 94088-3470 | 94088-3470 CS 46510-35065 RENNES CEDEX | 46510-3506 NEW YORK, NY 10013-2412 | 10013-2412 OALKLAND, CA 94612-3550 | 94612-3550 OXFORD CT 06483-1011 | 06483-1011
- The extracted post code records are stored in table ptoassigneend_missus_final.
- SQL code is in:
E:/McNair/Projects/PatentAddress/RxPostcode.sql
- 4. State (U.S.)
- There are some patterns that can be used to extract state information.
- 'CITY NAME[,] STATE POSTCODE'
- The state and post code are always together, separated by a space. So we can also extract state information with regular expression
'([,]|[.])\s\w{2,}\s{0,}\w{0,}\s{1,}\d{5}[-]\d{4}'
- For example,
city | state_city NEW YORK, NY 10022-3201 | NY BEAVERTON, OREGON 97005-6453 | OREGON SANTA BARBARA, CA 93130-3003 | CA SUNNYVALE, CA 94088-3453 | CA NEW YORK, NY 10013-2412 | NY OALKLAND, CA 94612-3550 | CA SANTA CLARA, CA 95052-8090 | CA PEORIA, IL 61629-6490 | IL MIDVALE, UTAH 84047-1408 | UTAH OAKLAND, CA 94612-3550 | CA HARRISBURG, PA 17105-3608 | PA ROCHESTER, NY 14650-2201 | NY NEW YORK, NY 10013-2412 | NY HOUSTON, TEXAS 77256-6571 | TEXAS BROOKINGS, SOUTH DAKOTA 57006-0128 | SOUTH DAKOTA
- 'CITY NAME STATE(Abbreviation) POSTCODE'
'(^|\s)\w{2}\s{1}\d{5}[-]\d{4}'
- For example:
MASSACHUSETTS 02780-7319
NEW YORK NY 10022-3201 WAUKEGAN IL 60085-2195
- 'STATENAME POSTCODE'
- 'D.C.' - dots between state name.
'D.C.\s\d{5}-\d{4}'
- The extracted state records are stored in table ptoassigneend_missus_final.
- SQL code is in:
E:/McNair/Projects/PatentAddress/RxPostcode.sql
- 5. City (U.S.)
- There are some patterns that can be used to extract city information.
- Three lists of samples extracted from addrline1, addrline2 and city are used to summarize the patterns. They are in
Z:/PatentAddress/
- '\s{2,} CITY NAME[,]STATE POSTCODE'
800 CHRYSLER DR. EAST AUBURN HILLS, MICHIGAN 48326-2757 550 MADISON AVENUE NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10022-3201 P.O. BOX 15439 WILMINGTON, DE 19850-5439
- '[,]\s{1,} CITY NAME[,] STATE POSTCODE'
920 DISC DRIVE, SCOTTS VALLEY, CA 95067-0360 550 MADISON AVENUE, NEW YORK, NY 10022-3201 BALLSTON TOWER ONE 800 NORTH QUINCY STREET, ARLINGTON, VA 22217-5660
- 'CITY NAME [,] STATE POSTCODE' (no leading spaces)
PHILADELPHIA, PA 19104-3147 ROCHESTER, NY 14650-2201
- Feature city is quite different from addrline1 and addrline2. Some of the records just contain the city information. Some contain city, state and postcode information, only a small part of the records just contain street names.
TARRYTOWN NY 10591-6706 ESLOV SANTA CLARA, CA 95052-8090 PEORIA, IL 61629-6490 S-190 70 FJARDHUNDRA
- Noise:
800 NORTH QUINCY STREETARLINGTON, VA 22217-5660 (street name instead of city name) BATON, ROUGE, LA 70809-4562 (the city name is separated by a comma) ST.

- SQL code is in:
E:/McNair/Projects/PatentAddress/CityPatterns.sql
- 6. Issues
- The post code and zip regex for other countries besides U.S. can be found here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/578406/what-is-the-ultimate-postal-code-and-zip-regex
- For example,
"US", "\d{5}([ \-]\d{4})?" "CA", "[ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVXY]\d[ABCEGHJ-NPRSTV-Z][ ]?\d[ABCEGHJ-NPRSTV-Z]\d" "DE", "\d{5}" "JP", "\d{3}-\d{4}" "FR", "\d{2}[ ]?\d{3}"
- The city feature needs to be standardized. For example, 'GRAND CAYMAN, CAYMAN ISLAND' and 'GRAND CAYMAN' indicate the same city.
- Some state and country features don't match.
- For example:
addrline2 | city | country 2882 SAND HILL ROAD MENLO PARK, CALIFORNIA 94025-7022 | TOKYO | JAPAN 2801 CENTERVILLE ROAD, P.O. BOX 15439 WILMINGTON, DE 19850-5439 | TOKYO | JAPAN 1-6, UCHISAIWAI-CHO 1-CHOME | CHIYODA-KU, TOKYO | JAPAN MENLO PARK, CA 94025-7022 | TOKYO | JAPAN | MINATO-KU, TOKYO 10585-8518 | JAPAN 1225 NORTH HIGHWAY 169, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55441-5058 | TOKYO | JAPAN 2882 SAND HILL ROAD MENLO PARK, CA 94025-7022 | TOKYO | JAPAN 3001 ORCHARD PARKWAY SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA 95134-2088 | TOKYO 107 | JAPAN 3001 ORCHARD PARKWAY SAN JOSE, CA 95134-2088 | MINATO-KU, TOKYO 107 | JAPAN 3001 ORCHARD PARKWAY SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA 95134-2088 | TOKYO 107 | JAPAN 3001 ORCHARD PARKWAY SAN JOSE, CA 95134-2088 | MINATO-KU, TOKYO 107 | JAPAN
- Both state name and its abbreviation exist.
- Some records are 'A CORP. OF CA.' or 'A CORP. OF NY' or 'A CORPORATION OF CA', which may be another method to extract state information.
- '556627-0772 BERGFOTSGATAN 5 A'. This record is also included in the table!!!!
