- Since June 1978, the UK Patent and Trademark Office has adopted a new recording method, which has been in use until now:
- [2-digit AD year] + [5-digit year serial number] + [.] + [check code]
- British patent application publication numbers after June 1978 are serially numbered starting from GB2000001 A, and the number is greater than 200,000; if the number is less than 200,000, it means that it is a patent application publication before June 1978. The document numbers of the published and authorized texts of the same application are the same, but the document codes are different. The first patent application publication is A, and the granted announcement is B.
- [2-digit AD year] + [5-digit year serial number] + [.] + [check code]
- The encoding rules for Supplementary Protection Certificates are:
- 【SPC】+【/】+【GB】+【2-digit AD year】+【/】+【serial number】
- British design patents distinguish textiles from non-textiles. Non-textiles use 6-7 serial numbers, while textiles only use 6-digit serial numbers.
- EP patents that enter into force in the UK from Europe will continue to use the European EP patent document number.
