This historical dataset is constructed using digitalized records of original patent documents that are publicly available. HistPat can be used in different disciplines ranging from geography, economics, history, network science, and science and technology studies. Additionally, it can easily be merged with post-1975 USPTO digital patent data to extend it until today.Business and ManagementComputer and Information ScienceSocial SciencesHistorical PatentsTechnological ChangeInventionsGeographyEconomicsRonald Lai; Alexander D'Amour; Amy Yu; Ye Sun; Lee Fleming, 2011, "Disambiguation and Co-authorship Networks of the U.S. Patent Inventor Database (1975 - 2010)", http://hdl.handle.net/1902.1/15705, Harvard Dataverse, V5, https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=hdl:1902.1/15705Hall, B.
