[PIUG List] AW Help with identifying a French publication

Hi,

I think Peter is right : Brian's number should read 0607680 and it is the=
 FR
application number (N° d'enregistrement national ; INID code 21, see
http://www.wipo.int/export/sites/www/scit/en/standards/pdf/03-09-01.pdf,
p.5).

As stated in the INPADOC tables at France [Number format concordance -
application/priority numbers, or
http://documents.epo.org/projects/babylon/eponet.nsf/0/D7F5F82A1B1AAB32C1=
2573B700560D52/$File/appl_prio_0712.pdf],
FR applications are given a FR application number YYNNNNN, say Brian's
0607680, with 2 digits YY for the year and 5 digits NNNNN for the serial
number.
Furthermore, Stephen, there are two types of serial numbers, depending on=
 
the way of filing:
- serial numbers > 50001 for electronic filings
- serial numbers from 00001 to 49999 for paper filings
total: 17245 FR applications filed in 2006 (anyone knows the ratio
paper/electronic, maybe Alex ?)
Hence, Brian's 07680 should have been filed on paper.

Like Thierry said, Brian's FR0607680 filed on 1/9/2006 shall be published=
 
around 1/3/2008, most probably on friday 7/3.

Agnieszka, how did you get your biblio data ? Derwent ?

Robin

PS: Note that, surprinsingly, you can get more FR granted patents (B1)
published on http://fr.espacenet.com/ than on
http://www.espacenet.com/index.en.htm ; same for other countries, like NL=
.
Please read Steve Van Dulken's post on this

Dear Stephen,

>From my point of view it seems that this irritation arised due to a typin=
g
mistake from Brian's side ...

Usually French patents get the Brevet number ("N° d'enregistrement
nationale" - Code 21) which consists of the application year abbreviation=
 -
in this case 06 and a serial number of the applications in this case 0768=
0.

Take a look at the already published e.g. FR2896108 (with the same
application date) for comparison.

Best regards,
Peter
