Visualization of US Patents with D3js as a "force graph" where:
- X axis is constrained to the patent's date
- Edges show cited/cited by relationship
- Colors identify assignee organizations (companies)
- Hoovering a node shows information about the patent
- Single click on a node "highlights" it and its direct neighbors (thanks)
- Double click opens the patent's page in Google Patent

JSON data is generated by calling the PatentsView API with some Python code which is not (yet) public
