HistPat Dataset

HistPat provides the geography of historical patents granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) from 1790 to 1975. This historical dataset is constructed using digitalized records of original patent documents that are publicly available. HistPat can be used in different disciplines ranging from geography, economics, history, network science, and science and technology studies. Additionally, it can easily be merged with post-1975 USPTO digital patent data to extend it until today.

HistPat 数据集提供了1790年至1975年间美国专利商标局（USPTO）授权的历史专利的地理相关数据。该历史数据集基于公开可获取的原始专利文献数字化记录构建而成。HistPat 可应用于地理学、经济学、历史学、网络科学以及科学与技术研究等多个学科领域。此外，该数据集可便捷地与1975年后的USPTO数字化专利数据进行合并，从而将数据覆盖范围延伸至当下。
