cverluise / openPatstat

Load, build and explore Patstat using the Google Cloud Platform

Statement

The purpose of this project is to help disseminate Statistical Data on Patents (so called PatStat) to stimulate research on Patents and Innovation. To do so, we provide tools to load, build and explore this data using Google Cloud Platform. Google Cloud Platform offers a simple, yet powerful Big Data environment.

This is an open source project hosted by the Economics of Innovation ​Research Lab at the Collège de France. This is also meant to provide a place for sharing codes and good practices. Please, send pull requests and issues directly to the dedicated GitHub repository.

Version 0.1: This is a development release. Some features might be changed in backward-incompatible ways.

Documentation
