Dataset card

The 'patents' dataset on Hugging Face aggregates more than ten million patent records distributed as a single train split of 10,220,496 rows. Published by user dvdmrs09 and tagged with the Apache-2.0 license, it offers a tabular and text resource for large-scale patent analytics.

What this dataset contains

The dataset comprises roughly 10.2 million rows of patent documents stored in Parquet format and made available through the Hugging Face datasets, dask, mlcroissant, and polars libraries. Each row corresponds to a single patent record identified by its publication number, with accompanying text describing the invention. The records are designed to support both bulk processing and individual look-up by patent identifier.

Structure and fields

The schema is minimal and consists of three string-typed Value fields: publication_number, which serves as the unique patent identifier; title, which holds the patent title; and description, which contains a textual description of the invention. All three fields are encoded as plain strings, reflecting the dataset's focus on text-based patent content rather than structured metadata such as dates, assignees, or classification codes.

How analysts use it

Analysts can load the file directly with polars or dask to filter or aggregate patents by title or description text. The publication_number field enables joins with external patent classifications, citation databases, or stock-level identifier mappings to study innovation activity among public companies. It can also serve as a corpus for training or evaluating NLP models that classify technology domains or track emerging inventive trends.
