(B) The 24 Hour Box Supplemental zipfile(s) contain Trademark cropped TIFF (black and white) or cropped JPG (color) image files from paper submissions of Trademark applications.

These documents replace the original data disseminated by the Electronic Information Products Division (EIPD). For more information on the data, contact ipd@uspto.gov (link sends e-mail).

These historical statistics are data for requests for reexamination filed since 7/1/1981 (for ex parte) or since 11/29/1999 (for inter partes). They are updated weekly.

Contains (JAN 1976 - DEC 2001) the bibliographic text (front page) of each patent grant issued weekly (Tuesdays) (excludes images/drawings and reexaminations). The file format is a subset of the Green Book, ASCII text.

Contains (JAN 2002 - present) the full text of each patent grant issued weekly (Tuesdays) (excludes images/drawings and reexaminations). The file format is eXtensible Markup Language (XML) in accordance with the Patent Grant International Common Element (ICE) Document Type Definition (DTD).

Contains the images of each patent application (non-provisional utility and plant) published weekly (Thursdays) from March 15, 2001 to present in Portable Document Format (PDF) created from the Patent Application Single-Page TIFF Images. Each weekly file contains approx. 6,000 patent applications. Approx. 11 GB (compressed) per week.

Contains detailed information on claims from U.S. patents granted between January 1976 and December 2014 and U.S. patent applications published between March 15, 2001 and December 2014. The dataset is derived from the Patent Grant Full Text and Patent Application Full Text bulk data files. The Office of Chief Economist (OCE) applied a Python algorithm to identify individual claims as well as the dependency relationship between claims. From the parsed claims text, OCE created six data files containing individually-parsed claims, claim-level statistics, and document-level statistics, including newly-developed measures of patent scope.

Contains four research datasets containing time series and micro-level data by National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) technology sub-category on applications, grants, and in-force patents spanning two centuries of innovation.

The historical_masterfile contains micro-level application, NBER sub-category, and prosecution data on 2.2 million patent applications filed from 1981 to 2015 and 8.9 million patents issued through 2014.

The monthly file contains a monthly count of applications, issued patents, and in-force patents by application status, disposal type (abandoned, issued, or pending), and NBER sub-category from 1981 to 2015.
