Kind Code
Kind codes are numbers and letters that are added to the end of patent numbers that describe what 'kind' of document is being read. Codes used vary by jurisdiction and a full list is available from the WIPO.
Kind Codes
WIPO Standard ST. 16 codes (kind codes) include a letter, and in many cases a number, used to distinguish the kind of patent document (e.g., publication of an application for a utility patent (patent application publication), patent, plant patent application publication, plant patent, or design patent) and the level of publication (e.g., first publication, second publication, or corrected publication).
