      I'm a newbbie around here.

      So far I only got the idea that freebase is for wikipedia data only.

      How 'm I going to use other database like USPTO ?

        I can see how you got that idea, since most of our textual articles came from Wikipedia. However, the structured data came from many sources, including MusicBrainz, the SEC, and Freebase users like you.

        Strictly, you can’t use other databases in Freebase; this is one database. (Well, OK, two or three. Still.) But you could import patent databases into Freebase, assuming that they are compatibe with our Creative Commons licensing requirement. Check out the US Patent type for the very small set of examples already populated.
