WIPO Standard ST.11:  Minimum of indexes to be inserted in patent gazettes

briefly:

Paragraph 5a requires a fixed length of 15 characters, with nine for the serial number. Our numbers have a length of 12 characters, composed identically to the standard, but with only 6 digits for the serial number.

Paragraph 5b reserves a numeric region for type codes of utility model related applications to 22-29. Our type code for topographies, which do not belong to utility models, is 22 instead of in the 30-89 region.

Paragraph 5d preferably requires a serial number of 9 digits. Ours has 6 digits. Furthermore, the control digit is not part of our serial number (nor of the application number), but separated by a ‘.’ after the serial number.

The standard came into force only a few years after all systems had been adapted to our new application numbering code. An additional change to our codes, in order to become completely compliant with the standard, would result in an enormous effort. As we do not consider the deviance from the standard as crucial for understanding our application numbers, no changes to our application numbers are planned for the near or mid future.

Our laws and regulations contain some of the provisions of the standard, many, however, are missing. For example, we do not have requirements concerning

- white and clean paper (10a)
- paper weight (10b)
- prohibition of rolling (10d)
- prohibition of absorbent paper (10e)
- placement of reference (13)
- specification of the part by the first word (16)
- surrounding of tables etc. with white space (23)
- hand written is allowed in some cases (26)
- spacing between paragraphs, base alignment for characters (28,29)
- tables (32, 33)
- fonts (36)
- unusual characters (40)
- mixing languages (42)

So far, setting up and enforcing such requirements were not necessary, as we do not heavily rely on the information gained through OCR.

The decision regarding whether we will implement the standard, and if so when we will do so, has not been made yet. If the standard continues to gain acceptance by other offices, we might also follow it. A possible option would be to supply data from our register (perhaps additionally) in ST.96. However, there is a strong dependence of third parties downloading our data, which we would need to respect.
