[Solved] Bibliographic Data problem

Hi Bruno,

How come data from IPC (all digits) and IPC (4 digits) fields are all None and lots of ECLA (all digits) fields are None too ?
Application number and Priority number field had a strange set of number follow by 3000-1-1 the year 3000 makes all the graphics and analysis looks wrong.

bc

Hi Bruce,

I do a test with "plastic and bicycle" on espacenet and you have right a lot of patent have no IPC code ?? but CI, CN, AI, AN IPC are fill in. I will make several tests this afternoon to see if OPS have changed something for IPC.

Concerning the date, it's also when the date is empty, then MP must have obligatory a date, so i write 3000-1-1. It's a temporary solution.

Hi Bruno,

I have been reviewing PR and AP numbers + dates of my last searches trying to clarify what happens with many AP/PR Dates = 3000-1-1

According to my tests (not exhaustive) I see that now there is duplicated information for every AP/PR number + date:

a1) the classical complete AP/PR number (country-year-number)
a2) with the right AP/PR Date... all ok

b1) and then it is repeated just the AP/PR number (without country and year) ... this is not informative
b2) with the wrong date 3000-1-1 from MP ... this is wrong data

So b1) and b2) is duplicated and wrong data.

My suggestion is:
a) just discard duplicated information = don't download or filter ???
b) -if it is not possible- ... then MP should repeat also the right AP/PR date.

Regards

Hi Bruno,

Could you tell what you think about it?

I'd like to insist you that it is better to delete the date 01/01/3000 than to maintain because it is pure noise. It should be the same PR date appearing in the full PR number.

Hi Bruno,

Did you find the solution of deleting 3000-1-1. Or the problem can't be solved.

Hi Bruce,

The problem is hard because I can't replace/delete or anything else the date without lost information.

I'm busy for the moment it's for this reason that I don't find a solution.
I work on MWeb, and I must finish something.

I'm very sorry.
