Reed Tech crawls the USPTO Public PAIR (Patent Application Information Retrieval) website for patent documents, including Image File Wrappers. This daily crawl is for five hours each night and retrieves both already-submitted documents and new documents as the USPTO makes them publicly available.

Except for repackaging into zip files, these documents are hosted by Reed Tech unchanged. A single zip file is created for each patent application. There is detailed documentation about the format as well as the overview below.

How to access PAIR data:
To access a particular zipfile, replace APP_NUM in the following URL with an application number of interest:
http://patents.reedtech.com/downloads/pair/APP_NUM.zip

For example: http://patents.reedtech.com/downloads/pair/12102391.zip

Over 7,624,417 applications are available. Additional applications will be added regularly as the crawl progresses.

Overview of zipfile contents:
Each zipfile contains the following:
•A README.txt file which indicates when the data was obtained.
•Data files (*.tsv), in tab-delimited text format, compatible with many spreadsheet programs. Each data file represents one tab from the PAIR interface: Address and Attorney/Agent, Application Data, Continuity Data, Foreign Priority, Image File Wrapper, Patent Term Adjustments / Extension History, Transaction History.
◦Data tables from the PAIR interface are organized in one of two ways:
1. Labels in the first column. (Example: Application Data tab.) The second column contains the corresponding value (example: Application number and 12/102,391).
2. Labels in the first row. (Example: Transaction History tab, with labels such as Date and Transaction Description.) Each subsequent row contains the corresponding values for one data item. (In the example, each row represents a single transaction.)
◦Some *.tsv files contain more than one table, separated by a blank line.
◦The Image File Wrapper data file is put in a separate directory along with the additional content that it links to. An extra Filename column is added to the *.tsv file to indicate the appropriate file for each item.
•Image files (*.pdf), in Adobe PDF format. This data is only available for patent applications which have an Image File Wrapper tab on the USPTO PAIR site.

Disclaimer:
No guarantees are made with respect to the completeness or accuracy of this data. In particular, the crawl may discover and retrieve additional documents over time, even for applications submitted long ago.

A national survey conducted to obtain information about household food expenditures, food program participation, food sufficiency, ways for coping with food insecurity, and concerns about food security. The universe for the survey are households eligible for the basic Current Population Survey (CPS). This includes households that are 185 percent of poverty and lower that will be asked all supplement questions as well as households over 185 percent of poverty that will be asked only a few questions, unless their answers identify them as "food insecure" and therefore eligible for the entire supplement. This is a proxy response supplement. However, interviewers are asked to interview (if at all possible) the person who buys or prepares the food for the household.

An overview of U.S. trade, utilizing time series data regarding national accounts, trade partners, industry, and jobs on a national, state, and metropolitan-area level.

This tab-delimited file, stc2015_5yr.tsv, prepared from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), Technology Assessment and Forecast (TAF) database, displays a listing of geographic regions from which utility patents (i.e., patents for invention) originated during the indicated 5 year time period and a corresponding count of patents for each of the years of the period. Each displayed annual count corresponds to the count of patents received in a calendar year (January 1 to December 31). It will import into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. This file generally contains the contents of the PTMT report, Patenting In Technology Classes Breakout By Geographic Origin (State and Country), CLASS ALL, ALL CLASSES, available on the USPTO Web Site at: https://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/ac/ido/oeip/taf/tecstc/allclstc_gd.htm

USPTO Enterprise Data Inventory (EDI) and Public Data Listing (PDL). They are the same.

The National Weather Service (NWS) maintains historical Atlantic Ocean hurricane weather data in a format that can be exploited by Graphic Information System (GIS) software. Using KML/KMZ formats, it takes the numbers and words from the rows and columns in databases and spreadsheets and puts them on a map. This data file contains information about named and unnamed Altantic tropical storms and hurricanes from 1851 to 2006. Once downloaded, the file can be decompiled by decade and by year in a a KML/KMZ GIS viewer.

First published in 1878, the Statistical Abstract serves as the official federal summary of statistics and provides over 1,400 tables of benchmark measures on the demographic, housing, social, political, and economic condition of the United States.
