Multimodal extension of NOC4PC (adds application + prior-art drawings)
This is an unofficial, research-oriented extension and not affiliated with the
original authors
Hi PANORAMA authors and community β first, thank you for this dataset. The
decision-trail framing and the claim-level NOC4PC task are genuinely useful.
While working with NOC4PC I noticed the task is text-only, even though real
examiners rely heavily on the drawings of both the application and the cited
prior art. So I built a multimodal extension and released it (with full credit to
your work, under the same CC-BY-NC-4.0 license):

What it adds
- The drawings for both the patent application and*every cited prior-art
reference, rendered from the original USPTO PDFs (120 dpi, all pages). - Each NOC4PC row gets two new columns β
application_image_idsandprior_art_image_idsβ so a model can see the figures the examiner compared.
Structure (reference layout, like VQAv2 / DocVQA)
Because the same drawing is shared by many claim-level rows, embedding per row
would balloon the dataset past 600 GB. Instead I store each unique drawing once
and reference it by image_id:
