Re: Retrieving family members of US applications
That won't help, the epodoc format for US application also includes the filing year. If all you have is the application number, the only option you have is to try a search using the original format.

Re: Retrieving family members of US applications
US applications in docdb format are not the same as the original US application number and is rather messy as well. Original US application number ss/#### filed in yyyy-mm-dd ss: series number ######: serial application number (within that series) Will be represented in docdb as: yyyy-###### or as Y...

Theortically the highest application number is 99999999 multiplied by alternating factors 1 and 2 followed by summarisation produces a theoretical max value of 108 In the first suggested method: 10 - ([c...

Re: EP application number check digit algorithm
Actually,
One question, which of the two threes should I substract from the 10?
The 3 that is the integer result of the division or the 3 that is the remains?
(33 : 10 = 3 remains 3)
I suppose it is the remains value, that would make most sense. Just to be sure.

The server is at the moment busy to serve robots. Please try again later. The 403 error in OPS indeed speaks about ro...
