Summary of Standard ST.13

 

Introduction

The purpose of this recommendation is to guide industrial property offices (IPOs) in changing or introducing new numbering systems for applications related to patents, utility models, trademarks, industrial designs, supplementary protection certificates (SPCs), and layout-designs (topographies) of integrated circuits.

Application numbers are essential for identifying each application received, especially as electronic exchanges of priority certificates among IPOs increase.

Definitions

• Patents: Includes patents for inventions, plant patents, design patents, inventor's certificates, utility certificates, utility models, patents of addition, and similar rights.
• Industrial Designs: Refers to two-dimensional and three-dimensional features of objects but excludes design patents.
• Trademarks: Includes trademarks, service marks, and other distinguishing signs as defined by relevant legislation.
• Other IPRs: Includes layout-designs (topographies) of integrated circuits and SPCs.
• Layout-Designs (Topographies) of Integrated Circuits: The three-dimensional layout of elements and interconnections in an integrated circuit.
• SPCs: Supplementary protection certificates that extend patent protection for certain products.

References

• Relevant WIPO Standards: ST.3, ST.10/C, ST.6, ST.34, ST.60, ST.80.

Recommendation for Application Numbering

• General: Application numbers should consist of 15 characters: 2 digits for the type of IPR, 4 digits for the year, and 9 digits for the serial number.

      ○ Example format: <type> <year> <serial>

• Type of Industrial Property Right: Use numeric characters to avoid confusion with country codes. For instance:

      ○ 10-19 for patents, 20-29 for utility models, 30-89 for other IPRs, and 90-99 for WIPO.

• Year Designation: Consists of four digits (e.g., 2014). If not used, replace with "0000".
• Serial Number: Consists of nine digits, gaps allowed, and doesn't need to start at 1 each year.
• Code for Internal Use: Optional code for indicating the place of filing or other internal information.
• Control Number (Check Digit): Optional single numeral for internal control, located at the last position of the serial number.
• Separator: Optional separators (slash, hyphen, or space) may be used for readability but are not part of the computer-readable format.

Recommendation for Combined Use with Industrial Property Office Code

• The two-letter IPO code from WIPO Standard ST.3 should precede the application number for unique identification.

      ○ Example: "XX 10 2014 345678" for a patent application filed in 2014.

Further Observations

• Clear presentation of application numbers is crucial for identifying patent family members and priority applications.
• IPOs are encouraged to start using this recommendation and announce its implementation in official publications.

Examples of Application Numbers

• Patent application filed in country XX in 2014 with serial number 000345678:

      ○ Presentation: XX 10 2014 345678

      ○ Machine readable: 102014000345678

• PCT application entered into the national phase in country XX in 2015 with serial number 01234567 and check digit 9:

      ○ Presentation: XX 11-2015-12345679

      ○ Machine readable: 112015012345679

• Utility model application filed in country XX in 2016 with serial number 4321:

      ○  Presentation: XX 20/2016/4321

      ○  Machine readable: 202016000004321

 

This standard ensures consistency and clarity in the numbering of industrial property applications, facilitating better management and identification across different jurisdictions.
