Locate PCT Applications?
TOPIC: PCT stands for Patent Cooperation Treaty. The country code for the PCT is WO (World Intellectual Property Organization). PCT applications include the country where the application was filed embedded in the number. For example, the PCT application number WO 2006US7590 was filed in the United States.
You can search for PCT applications in the following files: Derwent World Patents Index (File 351), INPADOC/Family and Legal Status (File 345), European Patents Fulltext (File 348) and WIPO/PCT Patents Fulltext (File 349).
COMMAND SUMMARY
BEGIN 348
EXPAND AN=WO 2006US7585
SELECT E3
TYPE S1/3/1
Note: The application number in this search (WO 2006US7585) is in the Dialog format (WO YYYYYCCNNNNNN). The PCT original format would have been PCT US2006/007585. To convert this PCT application number to the Dialog format you would do the following:
- Convert PCT to WO as the country code.
- Use a four-digit year format (2006).
- CC is the country code in the application number and designates the patent office in which the application was filed, in this case the U.S.
- Drop the slash and any leading zeros between the year designation and the serial number (i.e. 007585 - drop the first two zeros).
HOW TO...

1. BEGIN File 348, European Patents Fulltext .
2. EXPAND the PCT application number (AN=) with the WO country code to check format and number of digits.
3. SELECT the appropriate E number. |
