References of patentr Output not matching with USPTO portal for week 1 2019 data #39

Open NJStudent1 opened 2 years ago

Hi,

I noticed that the csv output for week 1 for 2019 has blank values for the "references" field for all WKUs. I checked randomly for references for some of them on https://portal.uspto.gov/pair/PublicPair using their patent number as the search field and found the latest reference document on the "Display References" tab shows multiple references for these patents. Then I compared the contents for week 1 of 2012. The csv output for this shows populated fields for references for the patents issued and these matched with the information on the PublicPair portal for a randomly chosen patents.

Can you please execute an iteration with 2019 and 2012 week 1 data and check the reason for the references mismatch between the patentr output and the PublicPair portal.

Thanks!

Hi,

Further to my previous comment, I tried executing the patentr package for multiple weeks from 2012 to 2021. The references field is getting populated only for 2012 and 2013.

Could you please look into this?

Thanks.

Hello,

I executed the retrieval of same year and week's data using patentpy and the references field is populated. Even the ICL_Class and Inventor fields that were coming blank earlier with patentr package are now populated for the same time window.

Please check the issue with the patentr underlying codes.

Thanks.
