USPTO
Description
In the United States, patent documents are released into the public domain as government works. Patents follow a highly standardized format with distinct required sections for background, detailed description, and claims. We include parents from the US Patents and Trademark Office (USPTO) as provided by the Google Patents Public Data dataset, which includes millions of granted patents and published patent applications dating back to 1782. We processed these documents to extract clean text while preserving this structured format. Mathematical expressions and equations were converted into LATEX.

License Issues
While we aim to produce datasets with completely accurate licensing information, license laundering and inaccurate metadata can cause us to erroneously assign the incorrect license to some documents (for further discussion of this limitation, please see our paper). If you believe you have found an instance of incorrect licensing in this dataset, please start a discussion on this repository.
Other Versions
This is the "raw" version of the USPTO dataset. If you are looking for the filtered version used to train Comma v0.1, you can find it here.
