A vector and layout configuration for patent and legal texts produced via PatentHubLayoutV2, derived from Title 37 of the Code of Federal Regulations annual edition 2024 and marked as U.S. government public domain.
Data preview
Dataset card
The patent-legal-vectors dataset is a layout-metadata repository published by JusticeDAO under the schema patent-legal-hf-layout/v2 and tagged patent-legal-v2.0.0. It is offered under a CC0-1.0 license and is intended as a structural index for projecting patent and legal public text rather than as a primary corpus.
What this dataset contains
According to the publisher, the artifact is layout metadata generated by PatentHubLayoutV2, not the publication of the underlying patents or legal filings themselves. Each data row is required to join to a public source CID stored in a source_cid column and a stable record_id, so the dataset functions as a pointer layer to public records. Index and graph configurations further bind shard CIDs in routing tables. No row-level content is included in the card.
Structure and fields
Concrete column names disclosed by the publisher include source_cid and record_id, both of which are required joins for any row that projects public text or index structure. Machine-readable joins are published in a manifest.jsonld file referenced from the card. The full column list and any additional fields are not stated, so analysts should consult the manifest before assuming schema coverage. Size, sample rows, and splits are likewise unstated.
How analysts use it
Because the artifact is an index of public patent and legal material, plausible investment uses include mapping litigation exposure for portfolio companies, monitoring patent grant activity around specific assignees, and enriching event-driven screens with citation or case-id joins. The CC0-1.0 license permits redistribution, which simplifies integration into internal alternative-data pipelines. Use cases depend on joining source_cid and record_id to the underlying public sources.
