Industrial trademark. The 12-digit copyright registration numbers of American trademarks are industrial trademarks. Trademarks are adopted by commodity producers and operators on the goods they produce, manufacture, process, select or distribute or by service providers on the services they provide. How to read the format meaning of American patent number?

International Intellectual Property Solution,
1. U.S. patent number format:
U.S. is a serial number,
patent application
public number or authorized number, and the application public number format is a 4-digit year serial number.
for example: 261198,2515832. The format of the authorized number is composed of 1-7 digits.
for example: 5575155,123456. No category code.
In addition, like China, the validity period of American patents is counted from the date of filing, with 2 years for invention and 1 years for design, but there is no
utility model patent in the United States.
Second, the characteristics of American patent numbers:
(1) The United States Patent and Trademark Office divides various applications into several categories (such as
invention patent
application and appearance). The age span of the cycle period varies, which is determined by the application volume. Generally speaking, all kinds of patent application numbers are arranged continuously from No.1 to No.999999 in each cycle.
(2) in order to distinguish the application numbers in different cycles, the application number serial code is used. This is very important for the database retrieval of American patent literature.
(3) The serial number of application number is used to indicate the application type at the same time:
1-28 is used for invention and plant patent application, and the two are mixed, for example, 8/1184 is a plant patent application number and 8/11841 is an invention patent application number. So far, the invention patent application has entered the 11th cycle.
29 for design application
6 for temporary application
9 for unilateral re-examination request
95 for re-examination request of both parties
It should be noted that in the
title page
of the US patent specification, it is common to find the application sequence number of 1-6 digits, such as Appl. No.: 1, appl.No.: 6,. In recent years, the United States Patent and Trademark Office began to publish the serial code of the application number in the title page of the patent specification, and stipulated that the patent application number consists of two-digit serial code and six-digit serial code. If the number of digits is insufficient, it shall be filled with zero, such as.: 9/1.
III. Characteristics of document numbers of American patent specifications:
(1) Since 21, the United States Patent and Trademark Office has published two kinds of public specifications, namely, invention patent application and plant patent application. The publication number consists of two parts: the four-digit publication year number and the seven-digit publication sequence number. If the number of digits is insufficient, zero shall be used as a complement. It should be noted that the invention patent application and the plant patent application include the re-published documents (A2, P4) and the corrected documents (A9, P9), and all the published documents are arranged in serial number order, such as US < P > 26/7159P1 and US 26/7159A1.
(2) Other patent documents are arranged according to their respective serial numbers, such as U.S. Pat. No.6,654,321 B1 and USPP 12345 P2.
(3) Before 21, the patent documents published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office often used English abbreviations to indicate the types of documents, such as Des.456789,RE12345. Since 21, the United States Patent and Trademark Office has fully adopted the patent document category identification codes specified in WIPO standard ST.16 "Recommended Standard Codes for Identifying Different Types of Patent Documents", but it still retains the practice of using English abbreviations, abbreviations or initials to indicate the types of documents before the contribution number, such as RE 12345C1, PP 12345C1 and D 654321C1.
iv. Identification code of American patent document description project
Patent document description project is referred to as description project for short. The description items originated from general books and documents are only used for the description of patent documents, which are the characteristics of patent information published on the title page of patent specification. The International Cooperation Committee for Information Retrieval between Patent Offices of Paris Union (ICIREPAT) has formulated a unified identification code for patent document description projects. Thus, the description of patent documents has achieved the international unified standard.
The specific meaning is as follows:
1 Document symbol
(11) Document number (patent number)
(12) Document category
(13) Document category code formulated according to WIPO standard ST.16
(15) Information about patent amendment

(44) The date when the specification of the patent that has not been approved after examination was published by printing or similar methods.
(45) The date when the specification of the patent after examination and approval was printed or published by similar methods.

2. Public number of American patent: USXXXXXXXXXXX is the public number of American patent, and the format is US+ four-digit year number+seven-digit serial number, and the public number is only a number in the patent authorization process;
