• US application numbers in DOCDB DocDB format have changed since late 2010 (beginning of series code 13, see link below for more details). USPTO "original" format always includes a prepended series code. 
• WO application numbers are formatted with a 2-digit year followed by a 5-digit serial number prior to 2004-01-01. Beginning with application dates in 2004, the format is 4-digit year followed by 6-digit serial number (e.g. 9813495 or 2004000001). A kind code of "W" must be used to distinguish WO applications from national office applications.
• JP application numbers include a 2-digit year as suffix until 2000; thereafter the 4-digit year is prepended (e.g. 131699 or 2007000849).
