reference characters Explanation: In the Swiss patent site below, reference characters are used for technical drawings. I agree with cc in nyc that it is reference numbers, if it is referring to continuous text. https://www.ipi.ch/en/patents/protection-in-switzerland/technical-documents.html |

reference numerals Explanation: IMO, this refers to the reference numbers that appear in parentheses in the Claims section of many patents. Here's an excerpt from a Canadian "how to" website... First in French: 11.05.01 Renvoi à la description ou aux dessins dans les revendications [...] a. Revendications comportant des signes de référence Les signes de renvoi aux dessins sont admissibles dans une revendication à condition qu'ils soient entre crochets ou entre parenthèses (paragraphe 86(2) des Règles sur les brevets) et que la revendication soit explicite et complète. http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/cipointernet-internetopic.nsf/f... Then in English: 11.05.01 Claims referring to description or drawings [...] a. Claims which include reference numerals Reference numerals used in the drawings are permissible in a claim provided they are in brackets or parenthesis (subsection 86(2) of the Patent Rules), and the claim is otherwise explicit and complete. http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/cipointernet-internetopic.nsf/e... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2012-07-11 00:55:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oops, I meant to make that confidence level 4. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day20 hrs (2012-07-12 13:28:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Indeed, reference signs for purists, as per Alison's comment and EPO reference: http://www.epo.org/law-practice/legal-texts/html/guidelines/... |
