General Information

If the sequence listing is filed after the date of filing, you must add the Application Reference.

Application Reference corresponds to the the current application number and current application filing date (numeric items <140> and <141> in the ST.25 standard).

Creating an application reference

  • Select the project in the browser. Expand it so that you can see the References list. Right-click the list. Select Create Application Reference from the pop-up menu.

  • The Create application reference window is displayed. The mandatory fields are marked with a red triangle.

    • Receiving office - the office to which the application was submitted. You can either enter the ST.3-compatible acronym in the first field, or choose the correct name from the drop-down menu.
    • Application number - the application number
    • Kind code - the kind code of the application
    • Name - the name of the applicant/grantee
    • Filing date - the filing date of the application.
  • Click Create application reference to complete the operation, or Cancel to cancel it.

Note:

There is no internal database of references like the one for applicants, so you have to create the references for each project separately.
