The information is also coded in machine-readable format in the XML data
that we make available to commercial providers. Anyone wanting help
with the technical details is welcome to contact us directly at
patentscope_at_wipo.int.
Your other suggestions regarding kind codes are also interesting since
we are planning to revise (hopefully improve) our use of kind codes in
the next 12 months.
