Chinese Patents from 1985 to 2025

(ChinesePatentsFrom1985to2025)

Dataset Summary

Chinese Patents from 1985 to 2025 (ChinesePatentsFrom1985to2025) is a large-scale structured dataset constructed from publicly available Chinese patent documents published between 1985 and 2025.2.

The dataset is intended to support academic research and educational use in areas including patent analysis, innovation studies, natural language processing, and knowledge-based engineering design. It emphasizes preserving original technical descriptions while enabling structured analysis for downstream research tasks.

Supported Tasks and Applications

This dataset can be used for a wide range of research purposes, including but not limited to:

Patent text classification

Functional and effect-oriented text analysis

Patent-based knowledge graph construction

Innovation pattern mining

Scientific and technical information extraction

Design-by-analogy and creativity support research

Chinese NLP tasks (e.g., segmentation, NER, relation extraction)

No official leaderboard is associated with this dataset.

Languages

Chinese (Simplified)

Dataset Structure

Each entry in the dataset corresponds to a patent record derived from official public disclosures. Depending on the release version, records may include:

Patent title

Abstract

Application year

Note: Full patent claims are not guaranteed to be included unless explicitly stated for a given release.

Data Sources

The dataset is constructed from publicly available patent documents released by:

China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA)

All original patent texts remain the intellectual property of their respective rights holders. This dataset represents a secondary organization and structuring of publicly disclosed information.

Data Collection and Processing

Patent documents were collected from official public disclosure channels.

Text data were cleaned and normalized to remove formatting noise.

Metadata fields were standardized to ensure temporal and semantic consistency.

No private, confidential, or non-public information was included.

Intended Uses Primary Intended Uses

Academic research

Teaching and coursework

Methodological validation

Non-commercial experimentation

Benchmarking NLP and knowledge representation methods

Out-of-Scope Uses

Direct commercial exploitation

Deployment in commercial AI products or services

Large-scale proprietary model training without explicit permission

License

This dataset is released under the OpenRAIL License.

While the underlying patent documents are publicly available, the curation, structuring, and organization of this dataset constitute a separate scholarly contribution.

Users are required to:

Provide proper attribution when using the dataset

Respect restrictions on commercial usage

Ensure compliance with applicable laws and intellectual property regulations
