Aren't these the patent numbers?
Nope. Too many digits. Tried them, the form rejected them.
Spoke too soon. A patent number has not been issued as far as I
can tell.
This is listed in the application database. From the USPTO FAQ:
Does your database include data on pending patent applications?
The database only includes data on Published Applications in
accordance with
the 18 month pre-grant publication rules. Pending patent
applications where the
applicant has elected to not publish prior to grant remain
confidential.
Yeah, and the form rejects all attempts to disclose prior art without a patent
number.
Reminds me of obamacare.gov :-)
