April 2019: Change in number formats for Czechoslovakia/Czechia
In the next few days some CS and CZ records will change the format of their patent numbers following DocDB recommendations. Some of the changes will include moving the year to the end for CZ publication numbers dating prior to 2000 and suppressing embedded zeroes for CZ publication numbers, applications, and priority numbers dating from 2000 onward. The following table illustrates the changes.
| Country Code | Kind/Year | Old Format | New Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| CS | A1, A2, A3 | YYnnnnn | (nnnnn)nYY |
| CZ | publications before 2000 | YYnnnnn | (nnnn)nYY |
| CZ | publications from 2000 onward | CCYYnnnn | CCYY(nnn)n |
| CZ | applications and priorities from 2000 onward | CCYYnnnn | CCYY(nnn)n |
More information will be added to the release notes as we incorporate these changes.
