CA/CAplus Indian patent publication number format defined
On January 8, 2007, CA/CAplus was enhanced with patent applications from India. Patent applications and PCT applications may be filed at one of four provincial offices in India (IN). However, the assigned patent publication numbers are identical among the offices, e.g., the first Indian patent publication number issued from each office in 2007 is IN 2007-1.
To resolve the problem of identical Indian patent publication numbers, CA/CAplus includes patent publication numbers modified with one of eight codes to identify application type and filing office. The codes include:
- MU national application filed in Mumbai
- MN PCT application filed in Mumbai
- KO national application filed in Kolkata
- KN PCT application filed in Kolkata
- DE national application filed in Delhi
- DN PCT application filed in Delhi
- CH national application filed in Chennai
- CN PCT application filed in Chennai
In addition, Indian patent publication numbers in CA/CAplus include the sequential number padded with zeros (to five characters) and the patent kind code. For example, the number assigned to the first patent publication from a patent application filed in 2007 at the office in Mumbai is:
IN 2007MU00001 A

CA/CAplus enhanced with additional kind codes for German patents
Additional kind codes for patents from the German Patent and Trade Mark Office (DE) have been added to CA/CAplus:
- A9 Corrected Complete Specification
- B9 Corrected Complete Specification (Granted Patent)
- C9 Corrected Complete Specification (Revised Patent)
- T5 Translation of Publication of International Application
- U9 Corrected Complete Specification (Utility Model)
These patent kind codes are used for selection of patent family members - they are not used for selection of basic patents.

CA/CAplus enhanced with IPC reclassification in Japanese patents
More than 720,000 International Patent Classification (IPC) reclassifications have been implemented in CA/CAplus patent records from Japan (JP), including more than 528,000 for records with no previous IPC reclassifications.
For additional information, refer to the CA/CAplus Database Summary Sheets.
