Patent Application or Patent Pending


Explanation:
Depends whether patent has been granted or it is an application. The "P.V." could simply be the declaration to the relevant authority with the initial demand.

number is application number


Explanation:
Is this the title of your patent? "MARQUE A OREILLE POUR L'IDENTIFICATION DES BOVINS ET DES OVINS"

I found this by using FR19810000835 to search for the patent by application number. (See link below.)

PV is "process verbal" and in context it means a statement or notice issued at the time of application and provides the application number.
