The USPTO seems to have recently put a few new data sets online:
I found the news here: http://www.uspto.gov/learning-and-resources/electronic-bulk-data-products because it says: New Bulk Data Storage System (BDSS) (Released 10/1/15)
New Bulk Data Storage System (BDSS) (Released 10/1/15)
and if you click here: https://data.uspto.gov/uspto.html
you get to a part on the bottom Patent Assignment Economics Data for Academia and Researchers: created/maintained by the USPTO Chief Economist, which leads here: https://data.uspto.gov/data2/patent/assignment/economics/2014/
Patent Assignment Economics Data for Academia and Researchers: created/maintained by the USPTO Chief Economist
For which I googelt the following: http://www.uspto.gov/sites/default/files/documents/USPTO_Patents_Assignment_Dataset_WP.pdf
And apparently there exists an USPTO Economist: http://www.uspto.gov/economics
whose data site looks interesting: http://www.uspto.gov/learning-and-resources/electronic-data-products/data
This part is particulary interesting, they even discuss patent classification: http://www.uspto.gov/learning-and-resources/electronic-data-products/historical-patent-data-files
for which this is the documentation http://www.uspto.gov/sites/default/files/documents/USPTO_economic_WP_2015-01_v2.pdf
So I explored their Historical Patent Data Files and here is my summary:
historical_masterfile
Overall, I think this is a good check to see if we extract the right numbers. But I haven't seen any information that we might need.
It's interesting data, but I think it should serve mainly as a check and as comparison for what we retrieve from the patent text files. I'll close this issue.

So I explored their Historical Patent Data Files and here is my summary:
historical_masterfile
contains information on about 11 mio. entries. For example, it's possible to look up the USPC number for patents.Overall, I think this is a good check to see if we extract the right numbers. But I haven't seen any information that we might need.
