From that link you aren't downloading 'patchsets'. &nbsp;You are downloading full releases. &nbsp;You cannot 'apply' them as part of an upgrade.<br />
<br />
You can install them and migrate to the new release.

Oracle Patch

Oracle is an object-relational database management system. It supports a large number of languages and application development frameworks. Its primary languages are SQL, PL/SQL and Java, but it also includes support for C and C++. Oracle also has its own enterprise modules and application server software.
