Global Record Breaking Patents (v3.2)

Fellow colleagues,

Several updates.

New input 1: Patent title for S10 is Axt, corresponding DWPI Patent
title for the same record is "Head for wood cutting axe - has ribs on
side faces extending at large angle from cutting edge".

New input 2: For "Most Valuable ($)", we've a discussion of the
possibility having more sub-categories along these thoughts:
"Maybe 'valuable' needs to be partitioned like "most valuable player"
on a sports team-- most important defense, highest monetary assertion
in damages, parent patent for greatest sales, etc.", Kris.
Suggestions?
