Re: PCT application number input format in DOCDB and EPODOC

Hi Vesna Many thanks for your reply again. I am having difficulty with the structure of the request going from epodoc format to original format. I receive the 404 error "At least one reference in the request has an unsupported country code: Invalid reference. Country code can't be empty." ...

Re: PCT application number input format in DOCDB and EPODOC

Thanks. Yes, I checked that part of the manual. But is it possible to use Number Service to go the other way to get the original application number from the epodoc format?

Re: PCT application number input format in DOCDB and EPODOC

This is useful, thanks.

Is it possible to obtain the PCT application number in original format (e.g. PCT/CCYYYY/....) from any of the OPS endpoints? Or perhaps the "Number service" could be used to convert the docdb or epodoc PCT number formats into the original format?

HK Patent Data

Hi,

I note from the Bibliographic Coverage page that the HK patent data was last updated around June/July 2020. Is there a reason the data has not been updated since then?

Thanks

Re: PCT data in priority claims

Thank you. That is very useful. For the Chinese patent data in Espacenet, is it updated to reflect changes in the CN register e.g. changes of applicant name, or is it simply a snapshot of the patent data at publication? In other words, is the data frequently updated to reflect the current state of t...

PCT data in priority claims

Hi, I am using the Published Data Retrieval api to obtain information about Chinese patents. In one scenario in which the Chinese patent is a national phase of an international (PCT) application, the PCT details are listed under the <priority-claims> tag. Accordingly, there does not appear to be an ...

Re: Cannot find patent Check-digit

For what it's worth, the check digit is available via the Published Data Retrieval API using the docdb input format, e.g. http://ops.epo.org/3.2/rest-services/published-data/publication/docdb/EP.{publicationNo}/biblio The application number with check digit can be found within the <application-refer...
