Dear Anne,

 

Just to add to Darlyn's comment - Before April 1996, the B document was
subject to an opposition process during which one or more of the claims
could be rejected or amended. The existence of an opposition can be
determined from the prosecution history. The Japanese version of PATOLIS
also had this information. The C number is simply a registration number.

 

Best regrds,

Subject: [PIUG List] Help interpreting JP granted patent number

 

I was wondering if someone might be able to help me decipher a JP
numbering question I have. I have a patent with the following numbers
attached to it:

JP 02-82726 A (March 23, 1990 - unexamined application)
JP 06-38676 B (May 18, 1994 - examined application)
JP 1909055 C (February 24, 1995 - granted patent)

I have gotten copies of both the A and the B document, but I can not
find a copy of the C document anywhere, including in the JP Patent &
Utility Model Gazette DB.

I am being told by a vendor that the B document is the granted patent
and the C number is "only the Registration Number for the granted
patent", but the publication dates tell me otherwise (B is granted
patent AFTER 1996).

What am I missing here? Is there a JP C document with the number
1909055 on its face?

Thanks,
Anne
