Hello all,
the EP publication numbers are generally assigned consecutively to the patents by publication date, however, during my research I came across the patent numbers EP1821590 to EP1824331 that seem not to be assigned to any patents. Is there a specific reason or explanation for this?
Thanks and kind regards

Re: Unassigned EP Publication Numbers
Dear JaninaB,
In some rare cases a necessary re-run of the EP publication generation process results in un-used publication numbers.
You may want to have a look at the EP authority file and documentation available on this page:
