米国特許商標庁のドキュメントコード一覧

f:id:gostep:20150119225655j:plain

アメリカの特許商標庁のサイトで、特許の包袋（特許の出願経過）を見る機会ありました。

米国では、包袋に登録されている書類は、Document Code（ドキュメントコード）が付されて管理されているんですよね。

前々から気になっていたのですが、Document Codeってそれぞれどういう意味が実はよく知りません。

ということで、今日は試しに調べてみることにしました。紹介します。

これがドキュメントコード一覧

ネットで検索したところすぐに見つかりました。エクセルファイルで米国特許商標庁から公開されています。

エクセルを開けない方もいると思うので転記すると以下の通りです。

なお今回の表の作成には、「鈴木です。」さんの以下の記事を参考にしてExcel to Tableを使わせてもらいました。
