PatentsView Connector
Intro
PatentsView is a prototype patent data visualization and analysis platform intended to increase the value, utility, and transparency of US patent data. Domo's PatentsView connector provides access to longitudinal data and metadata on patents, inventors, geographic locations, etc. To learn more about the PatentsView API, visit their page (http://www.patentsview.org/api/doc.html).
You connect to your PatentsView account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the PatentsView connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Prerequisites
None. This connector retrieves public data, so there is no need to enter account credentials.
Connecting to Your PatentsView Account
This section enumerates the options in the Details panes in the PatentsView Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Details Pane
This pane contains a primary Reports menu, along with various other menus which may or may not appear depending on the report type you select.

Report |
Select the PatentsView report you want to run. The following reports are available:

Query Type |
Select your desired query type.

Query |
If you selected Query Builder as your Query Type, simply fill in the gaps in the code sample with your desired filter criteria. If you selected Manual Query as your Query Type, enter your query here. An example of a manual query would be as follows: ('inventor_last_name' = 'Whitney' AND ('patent_title' TEXT_PHRASE 'cotton gin')) In other words, the report will pull data ONLY if the inventors's last name is "Whitney" and the patent name is "cotton_gin" OR the inventor's last name is "Heath" and the patent title is "Cobol." In both cases, the patent number must also be "9616799." Refer to the following links for respective reports for filter selection:

Days Back to Start From |
Enter the number of the farthest day back that should be represented in the report. Combine with Days Back to End At to create a range of represented days. For example, if you entered 10 for Days Back to Start From and 5 for Days Back to End At, the report would contain data for 10 days ago up until 5 days ago. |
||||||||||||
Days Back to End At |
Enter the number of the most recent day back that should be represented in the report. Combine with Days Back to Start From to create a range of represented days. For example, if you entered 10 for Days Back to Start From and 5 for Days Back to End At, the report would contain data for 10 days ago up until 5 days ago. |
