Version 1.0
In spite of the recent emergence of on-line data bases containing bibliographic data of patent documents, including names, the use of printed name indexes prepared by industrial property offices is universal and widespread and will continue to be in the foreseeable future. This Standard is addressed to industrial property offices producing indexes to patent documents giving names of applicants, inventors, patentees or assignees, and is designed to promote a uniform presentation of names occurring in name indexes as well as a uniform method of ordering the names in the index itself.
For the purposes of this Standard the expression “patent document” comprises patents for invention, plant patents, inventors’ certificates, design patents, utility certificates, utility models, documents of addition thereto and published applications therefor.
Users of name indexes to patent documents, be it indexes of names of inventors or of applicants, face two main problems:
(a) a name chosen by the user as a basis for his search query in a particular name index is presented therein in a substantially different form and may thus not be found by the user;
(b) a name or its variant (even in the case of coincidence) may be ordered in the name index elsewhere than that expected by the user.
Name variants which are likely to be chosen for search are usually derived by the user from the following sources:
In general, name variants encountered by the user fall into several categories as follows:
(a) the full name, or the basic variant, which is usually given by the applicant himself or his patent attorney;
(b) a contracted or abbreviated form of the basic variant, which occurs most frequently either as:
(i) an acronym, i.e., when all constituent parts of a name are abbreviated, e.g., IBM instead of “International Business Machines Corporation”, MBB instead of “Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm”, or
(ii) a partially abbreviated name, i.e., when only some of the constituent parts are abbreviated: e.g., Hitachi Plant Eng. Constr. Co.
(c) an incomplete variant, i.e., when a constituent part of the name, usually the most significant one, is used instead of the full name, e.g., “Renault” instead of “Régie Nationale des Usines Renault”;
(d) a reformatted full name or its variant, which is formed by making prominent, e.g., by bringing to the front, a constituent part of the name which is widely used instead of the full name. Usually a reformatted name is intended to assist the user in identifying the full name on the basis of an encountered incomplete name, e.g., “Peugeot, Automobiles” instead of “Automobiles Peugeot”;
(e) various representations of foreign names in the language of the office publishing the name index;
(i) variants of the transliteration of the name originally written in an alphabet other than the alphabet used by the publishing office, e.g., a Russian name “Чугаев” is found to be transliterated as follows:
“Tschugaeff”, “Tchugaev”, “Tchougaev”, “Cugaev”, “Chugaev”, etc.
(ii) a translation variant of a particular company or organization name being used along with the transliterated name expressed in the original language, e.g., “Victor Company of Japan” and the transliterated name variant in the Japanese language “Nippon Bikuta K.K.”
(f) graphic variants, i.e. different forms of printed representation of names in one and the same alphabet caused by the limitation of composing and/or printing facilities, e.g.
(i) umlauts on letters such as Å, Ä, Ö, Ü are sometimes presented as AA, AE, OE, UE,
(ii) diacritics on letters such as Ç, Š etc. are sometimes disregarded.
It is noted that factors promoting consistency in the use and search of names relate to the measures which are aimed, on the one hand, at minimizing the number of variants used and, on the other hand, at establishing special rules assisting the user to identify all variants the use of which is unavoidable. It is also realized that the use of some name variants may be beyond the influence and control of industrial property offices, e.g., name variants produced by various publishing agencies of secondary and patent associated literature. Applicants themselves are not always consistent in presenting their names when filing their applications. A list of the most active applicants is given in Appendix I to this Standard.
In order to enable a name index to be fully understood by a user, it is RECOMMENDED that a preface or annex giving guidance on the rules followed in creating and presenting the name index be printed at regular intervals with the name index. In this Standard, such guidance will be referred to as a preface. A model preface is given in Appendix II to this Standard.
For the purposes of promoting the necessary consistency in the presentation of full names by applicants it is RECOMMENDED to include appropriate provisions on the writing of names in the instructions or regulations of industrial property offices which relate to general requirements of procedures to be followed in filing applications.
In order to keep the number of name variants in name indexes prepared by various Offices as low as possible it is RECOMMENDED to use, wherever possible, only the basic variant, i.e., the full name.
This recommendation is supported at least by two considerations. Firstly, an experienced patent searcher is most likely to start his search by using a full name derived from one of the official publications of industrial property offices where usually only full names appear. It is recalled that an applicant prefers to give his officially recognized name in full. Secondly, the presentation of full names in a name index does not require any additional input or processing whilst preparing a data base or a card file needed for producing the name index. It should be noted that in most cases the data base to be used is common to other computerized uses and is usually produced as a by-product while preparing official publications by photocomposition processes.
Since in some cases the user is likely to start his search by utilizing a name variant other than the full name (e.g., derived from non-patent sources) it is RECOMMENDED to take the following measures assisting the user in identifying the relevant entry in the name index:
(a) references to special registers, e.g., commercial registers where full names of legal entities can be found should be given in the preface to the index;
(b) well-known acronyms, abbreviations and incomplete names should be given as additional entries in the name index with cross-references to the entries containing the respective full names (see paragraphs 26 and 27 which discuss cross-references in detail); if such cross-references are not given in the index, a list of well-known acronyms, abbreviations and incomplete names, together with their full equivalents, should be given in the preface;
(c) a list of regularly used abbreviations constituting part(s) of full names (see 5(b)(ii)) should be published in the preface to the name index. These abbreviations which replace some constituent parts of full names usually relate to generic indications of legal entities such as “Office”, “Compagnie”, “Brothers”, “Corporation”, “Aktiebolaget”, “Propriety”, etc.
Despite the occasional occurrence of reformatted names, mostly in patent associated literature, it is RECOMMENDED not to change the sequence of constituent parts of names presented in the name index with the few exceptions given in paragraphs 12 and 13.
The above recommendation takes into account the following basic considerations. Firstly, reformatted names do not appear in the patent documents and in the secondary literature prepared by industrial property offices on the basis thereof. Secondly, an average user who is not versed in foreign languages is not able himself to reformat an encountered name in an unambiguous way. Therefore, the results of reformatting of a particular name carried out by the user and the compiler of the name index cannot be expected to coincide.
In order to assist the user in identifying the relevant entry in the name index on the basis of an incomplete name variant encountered by him in non-patent literature, it is RECOMMENDED, apart from referring the searcher to a special register containing full names (see paragraph 10(a)), to include the respective full name in a reformatted form as an entry of the name index. Here “reformatted name” means the name arranged in such a way that its constituent part representing the corresponding incomplete name variant widely used instead of the full name is brought to the front of the entry or used as the ordering key. The part brought to the front should be followed by a delimiting character which can be a comma (,) or a square bracket ([), or should be distinguished in some other way, followed by the rest of the constituent parts, e.g., Renault, Régie Nationale des Usines; Zeiss Jena, VEB Carl; Westfalia, Gewerkschaft Eisenhütte; Healthcare Association, United etc.
Sometimes a name can contain at its beginning a non-significant part such as articles and prepositions, e.g., “a”, “an”, “the”, “la”, “les”. The use of the said parts has no clear linguistic motivation for an uninitiated user. Therefore, it is RECOMMENDED to place the said non-significant part(s) after the main name followed by a delimiting character, e.g., “The Stanley Works” becomes “Stanley Works, The”, “Le Carton Lorraine S.A.” – “Carton Lorraine, S.A., Le” and “Von Treu AG” – “Treu AG, Von”. For convenience, a list of the most common non-significant parts should be given in the preface to the index.
Names of natural persons are not complicated in structure and, in general, contain only the following components:
Sometimes they may be accompanied by personal titles such as: Dr.-Ing., Dipl.-Ing., Dr., Prof., Sir, etc... and indications of residence.
In practice, the following two main sequences in presenting the above mentioned components appear on the published patent documents:
(a) personal title (if any), given name(s) and/or initial(s), family name, e.g., Ing. James S. Fritz; Prof. Dr. Dipl.‑Chem. Erhard Sirtl;
(b) family name, given name(s) and/or initials, personal title (if any), e.g., Fritz, James S., Ing.; Sirtl, Edhard, Prof. Dr. Dipl.-Chem.
Although in linguistic respects both sequences are equally admissible the first sequence seems to be the one most preferred on patent documents.
On the other hand, considerations of optimal sorting and effective use require that the first position of a name should be filled by the most significant and less common element which allows a name to be identified with a minimum of scrutiny. For the most common languages, this element is the family name. Therefore, it is RECOMMENDED that all names of natural persons to be included in a name index, or in a machine-readable file should be reformatted in accordance with the pattern sequence given in paragraph 15(b). Accordingly, it is RECOMMENDED that the pattern of name presentation as a whole should be as follows:
family name, the first given name in full, initials and a personal title (if any), e.g., Fritz, William L.; Sirtl, Erhard.
Note: A personal title is not considered as a part of the name. Therefore, its indication is left completely at the discretion of industrial property offices.
If a name does not contain a component which can clearly be identified as a family name, the name should not be reformatted.
In general, a predicate preceding the family name such as “De”, “De la”, “Van”, “Van Der”, “Von”, etc., should not be omitted from the name nor placed after a delimiting character unless the language practice of a particular Office or a respective country provides for a different treatment, e.g., in the German language the predicate “Von” is disregarded in the sorting process. If an Office follows some special rules in handling the above mentioned predicates it should be stated in the preface to the index.
The name in general can contain as its constituent parts separate words, abbreviations, capital and/or small letters, numerals, special signs, letters with diacritics, etc. Different approaches in handling these constituent parts while sorting and ordering the names can result in different filing places for one and the same name in different indexes.
In order to avoid discrepancies in ordering whilst preparing a name index, it is RECOMMENDED that the following rules be adhered to for the sorting of names and respective entries in the name index:
(a) sorting method: word by word, character by character;
Note: Capital and small letters should be treated as equals. In principle, short words will be sorted before longer words that commence with the same characters as the short word.
(b) sorting sequence:
(i) the sorting should follow the sequence of letters in the alphabet. For the purposes of these guidelines any constituent part of the name, be it a word or a part of it or a single letter if terminated by one of the following signs should be treated as a single word. However, the sign itself should be disregarded while sorting.
Note: All other signs occurring between any constituent parts of the name, e.g., comma, semicolon, asterisk, apostrophes and inverted commas should be disregarded when sorting, unless they are accompanied by a blank space.
(ii) if a need arises to sort characters other than letters and digits, the sorting sequence given using the EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code) code system should be followed, namely:
(iii) numerals presented as Arabic digits should be treated as characters and arranged following the last letters of the alphabet in an increasing numerical order, e.g.:
Note: Numerals when presented by corresponding full words of the natural language should be treated accordingly, i.e., as independent words, in alphabetic order, e.g.:
Diacritics on letters such as Ç, Š, etc. should preferably be disregarded in the sorting procedure (but not in the print), i.e., no discrimination should be made between ordering a letter with or without a diacritic. If, however, national standards prescribe a different treatment of letters having diacritics, this should be clearly indicated in the short version of the applied rules, which is RECOMMENDED to be published by the industrial property office with each name index volume. The same holds if national standards prescribe a separate treatment of certain combinations of letters.
Offices should draw to the attention of applicants that the names of applicants originally written in alphabets other than the alphabet used by the Office concerned should preferably be transliterated into that alphabet according to the corresponding recommendations of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The relevant standards are ISO/R233‑1961, ISO/R259‑1962, ISO/R9‑1968, ISO 7098‑1982.
Since the main source of discrepancies in the transliteration of names is a lack of knowledge of applicants and their patent attorneys or agents regarding the ISO rules, it is RECOMMENDED that the Office regulations intended for foreign applicants should contain appropriate provisions urging the applicants and patent attorneys to follow the respective ISO recommendations. For this purpose references to the corresponding ISO publication or relevant excerpts therefrom together with transliteration tables should be included in the said provisions. A juridical check on how these regulations are observed should be made by offices. Offices which act as the receiving offices for national and foreign applicants in accordance with an international or regional treaty should regularly verify the results of transliteration submitted to them by the applicants.
If an Office uses a transliteration table other than that envisaged by the ISO recommendations this Office should take appropriate measures ensuring the required consistency of transliteration results, e.g., by undertaking the main bulk of transliteration work itself or by providing the potential applicants with relevant information.
Since the user is likely to start his search by using a transliteration variant prepared by an outside agency on the basis of a national standard or any other transliteration tables, it is RECOMMENDED to reproduce some of the most known transliteration tables in the preface to the name index by indicating the scope of their use.
As cross-references increase the length of indexes, they should only be given when really necessary. Such cases are, in particular:
(a) when enterprises, institutions and the like are well-known under both an acronym (or incomplete name) and a full name. The substantive entry should be under the full name;
(b) when several inventors are named. The substantive entry should be under the first named inventor;
(c) if a name index to be compiled covers both the name of the applicant(s) and of the inventor(s), the substantive entry should be under the name of the applicant.
Entries containing a cross-reference should, at least, consist of the following components:
(a) the name or name variant which forms the leading part of the entry;
(b) the word “see” or “cf” (or its translation into the language of a publishing Office), e.g., Volkmann, Klaus cf. Philips Kommunikations Industrie AG;
(c) a reference including the full name under which the complete information can be found.
The cited name should be printed preferably in a bold type face.
These recommendations are basically applicable for name indexes using Roman characters. For languages using other characters such as Cyrillic characters, most of the recommendations set forth above can be applied, with some corresponding amendments and modifications.
The recommendations given above should also be followed for a computerized handling and processing of the name information, in particular, if the stored data including the names is to be used for preparing a name index either in printed form or on COM-microfiches. In particular, the recommendations should be applied in respect both to the input and to the output presentation of names.
On the other hand, computer-based storage and searching per se offers wider possibilities in searching name information. Thus, it is feasible to store for a given name all its known variants, i.e., to create families of variants for each particular name and, consequently, to accept as a search request any name variant. In order to save the computer memory it is also possible to store long names in either a truncated or coded form.
Note: The names occurring in the present List are represented in a reformatted form whenever they contain a non-significant part as defined in paragraphs 12 and 13 of the Recommendations and in Annex C to the model preface “List of non-significant particles occurring in the Names of legal entities.

* Based upon a survey covering the period 1978-1982, and for Japanese Legal Entities, the years 1984-1985.
This name index lists, in alphabetic order of names of applicants, inventors [and patentees] (see paragraph 11 below) the patent documents [granted patents, inventors’ certificates, applications therefore, etc.] published in the Bulletin [Gazette] of a given country [indicate which one] during the period of [indicate period]. Each entry following a particular name gives the following bibliographic information: the publication number, title of invention, and the allotted classification symbols. For the purposes of uniquely identifying names in the Index and for easy retrieving of relevant entries, WIPO Standard ST.20 (Recommendations for the Preparation of Name Indexes to Patent Documents) has been followed.
For the purposes of this preface the expression “patent document” comprises patents for invention, plant patents, inventors’ certificates, design patents, utility certificates, utility models, documents of addition thereto and published applications therefor.
The alphabet used in this Index is given in Annex A to this preface which also shows the order in which the characters forming the alphabet are sorted. [Annex A should only be given when the alphabet used is other than the Roman alphabet without diacritics or other accents.]
Names of applicants or inventors who are natural persons are presented as follows:
Personal names which start with a non-significant part such as: “De”, “De la”, “Von”, “Van”, “Van Der”, etc. [See list in Annex B; a complete list should be prepared by an office applying this rule] are to be found under the entry starting with a respective reformatted name. A reformatted name is formed by placing one of the above mentioned non-significant parts after the rest of the name.
The name of an applicant or a patentee being a legal entity appears in the Index as given by the applicant himself or as presented in the official register of patents or the like, i.e., in full, unabbreviated form with an unchanged sequence of components constituting the name. In contrast with personal names, the first given name, initials and a personal title (if any) which form a part of the complex name of a legal entity are retained in their original sequence: e.g., Dr. Karl Thomae Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung.
However, some non-significant particles such as “a”, “an”, “the”, “la”, etc... [see list in Annex C of non-significant particles occurring in the names of legal entities] are presented after other parts of the name and separated from it by a delimitating character (,). Thus, the name: “The Stanley Works” would be presented under the entry “Stanley Works, The”.
Legal entities which are well known both under an acronym (or incomplete name) and its full name are given under two entries respectively, the substantive entry being under the full name with a cross-reference thereto under the abbreviated name.
Where there is more than one applicant the substantive entry appears under the name of the applicant listed first and a cross-reference is given under each of the other applicants. Similarly when several inventors are named, the substantive entry is to be found under the first named inventor. A cross-reference is made by means of the words “see” or “cf” followed by the respective full name under which the complete information can be found.
Patent documents for which at the moment of publication both the name of an applicant and that of (an) inventor(s) are known, the substantive entry is provided under the name of the applicant.
The names are sorted in alphabetic order: character by character, word by word. The abbreviations not containing any of the following signs: a space, full stop, hyphen, ampersand (&), slash or plus are sorted as one word. Otherwise, each character or a group of characters if terminated by one of the above mentioned signs is sorted separately. It means that two names having at their beginning an identical group of characters one of which contains one of the said signs will be located at different places in the Index. Thus, the name “A.B. Dick” will be placed before “AB Allterm” and they will be separated by other names, e.g.:
Names containing at their beginning numerals presented by Arabic digits appear in the index after the last letter of the alphabet and are arranged in an increasing order, e.g.
Numerals when presented by corresponding full words of the natural language are sorted as usual in alphabetic order.
Since the Name Index lists predominantly full names of legal entities in their original form and cites only occasionally cross-references to other possible variants of a given name (e.g., an abbreviation or incomplete name) it is advisable to identify the full name if the initial name variant encountered by the user in non-patent literature is other than the full one. For these purposes it is recommended to use the following auxiliary aids:
[Transliterated names of foreign applicants and inventors are prepared on the basis of the relevant ISO Standards for transliteration (ISO/R 233‑1961, ISO/R 259‑1962, ISO/R‑9‑1968, ISO 7098‑1982).]
Since a name variant encountered by the user for search purposes may differ from that included in the Index owing to the use of other transliteration standards (e.g., national or regional ones) in non-patent literature, it is recommended to make use of retransliteration tables establishing correspondences between different variants of transliteration of one and the same character in the original language by using the international standard and a national one (Annex G).
Note: It is recommended that this Annex is only given in the preface if the alphabet used is other than the Roman alphabet with no diacritics or other accents.
Note: For the purposes of this recommendation, a non-significant particle (or part) of a name means any constituent part of the name occurring at the beginning thereof, and which, for purposes of sorting and filing of names in an index, can be either ignored or moved to the end of the name.
Personal titles, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
|
Some prefixes, such as: prepositions, syntactical combinations of a preposition and an article or contractions thereof which form a constituent part of the name.
The most frequently occurring prefixes of this kind are listed in the table below; the language used is indicated in brackets using the ISO Standard Code 639.

Note: If a substantive entry is made in a Name Index under the surname or family name, the prefix of which was separated and moved to the end of this name, a cross-reference from the respective non-reformatted name to the reformatted one should be provided.
Note: For the purposes of this recommendation, a non-significant particle (or part) of a name means any constituent part of the name occurring in the beginning thereof and which, for the purposes of sorting and filing of names in an index, can be either ignored or moved to the end of the name.
Abbreviations or corresponding full designations identifying a legal status of an entity and occurring in the beginning of the names.
