The bibliographic data are extracted from the USPTO's TAF database and are presented in a form that facilitates loading into database software (e.g., for analysis). Data contained on the DVD incorporate USPTO data cleaning efforts associated with the production of general PTMT statistics reports. This DVD does not contain bibliographic data for published patent applications. Due to the large sizes of the data files, use of database software such as SAS, Oracle, STATA, SPSS, etc. is suggested for use with the contents of the DVD-ROM.
