Corrections of FR-A5 documents into FR-A1 documents
Newsflash 7/2010
You will be pleased to hear that the re-key with the FR A5 kind code has been scheduled for week 19/2010
The FR A1 documents (première et unique publication) were accidently and incorrectly recorded as FR A5 publications in the DOCDB bibliographic database. Last year, the EPO had estimated that approximately 21 000 erroneous FR A5 French documents had been affected but we have since found out that this correction will affect approximately 54 000 publications
The corrections of the French records from A5 to A1 will appear in esp@cenet in week 19/2010
The explanation of the above-mentioned codes is as follows:
| CC | Kind Code | Explanation | Code description in French |
|---|---|---|---|
| FR | A1 | APPLICATION FOR PATENT OF INVENTION, (FIRST PUB.) [FROM NUMBER 2000000] | première publication |
| FR | A5 | PATENT OF INVENTION, (FIRST AND ONLY PUBLICATION) [FROM NUMBER 2000000] | unique publication |
