Patent & Engineering Diagram Reasoning — Authentic Engineering Preview

NKO Data Labs · design-partner market probe · target commercial release: 25k+ figure-linked examples

A multimodal engineering-data concept linking technical figures to structured component/concept and description context for diagram understanding and technical reasoning.

Preview status

This repository now contains a small authentic source-backed engineering-diagram preview using selected U.S. Geological Survey technical diagrams. Every selected official USGS media page explicitly states Sources/Usage: Public Domain, and the preview retains the exact source page plus rights basis for independent verification. The downloadable preview is structured metadata and official source links; it does not copy image bytes into the dataset.

The broader product hypothesis still includes patent figures, but patent-specific expansion is a separate future source path. As of 2026-06-18, USPTO Open Data Portal access requires a valid USPTO.gov account/authenticated API route, and patent drawings can contain copyright/mask-work notices or embedded trademark risk that require item-level filtering. No claim is made that patent-figure coverage or the target 25k+ corpus is currently available.

Intended ML tasks

• —diagram-to-description retrieval
• —component/concept extraction
• —diagram-grounded question answering
• —technical relation extraction
• —multimodal engineering evaluation

Preview fields

source record identifier, official source page, asset title, diagram type, technical domain, component/concept candidates, benchmark tasks, rights basis and preview status.

Provenance and rights

Primary preview source: official U.S. Geological Survey media pages. USGS states that USGS-authored or produced data and information are considered U.S. public domain, while also warning that some third-party material can be separately copyrighted. For this preview, NKO Data Labs selected only exact media pages whose own Sources/Usage field explicitly says Public Domain.

Examples include public-domain USGS block diagrams, cross sections, system diagrams and conceptual models covering tectonics, geophysics, hydrogeology, flood risk, water infrastructure and hydrometry.

Delivery target

JSONL/Parquet metadata plus permitted referenced assets where later packaging is justified, documented schema, QA report and task splits.

Commercial access

Indicative commercial licensing starts at USD 2,500 for non-exclusive internal use. Enterprise/model-training terms depend on scope and asset rights. Design partners can request a rights-cleared engineering-diagram pilot.

Limitations

This is a small authentic engineering-diagram market-validation preview, not the target commercial corpus. It does not currently include downloadable patent-figure image files. No claim is made that the target 25k+ commercial corpus or patent-specific coverage is currently available.
