How to get the original application number for the publication number obtained by the response from citation response
Posted: Thu Nov 29, 2018 5:32 am
I have queried the application number "US.201815872505.A" in docdb format to obtain the citations through the below mentioned endpoint :
http://ops.epo.org/3.2/rest-services/pu ... cdb/biblio
And the response contains the below citation data :
<references-cited>
<citation cited-phase="undefined" cited-by="applicant" sequence="1">
<patcit dnum-type="publication number" num="1">
<document-id document-id-type="epodoc">
<doc-number>US2003220294</doc-number>
<date>20031127</date>
</document-id>
<document-id document-id-type="docdb">
<country>US</country>
<doc-number>2003220294</doc-number>
<kind>A1</kind>
<date>20031127</date>
</document-id>
</patcit>
</citation>
From the response the doc number that has been obtained is a publication number "2003220294" in docdb format, how do we convert this to the original format as when i am trying to fetch the original format number from the number service as shown below, i am getting the same number again.
Below is the endpoint that i am querying with "US.2003220294.A1"
