About citations category

Patstat table tsl215_citn_categ stores the category of the citation, as mentioned in serch report.

Among these categories, the most relevant are:


X - particularly relevant if taken alone
Y - particularly relevant if combined with another document of the same category
A - technological background
O - non-written disclosure
P - intermediate document
T - theory or principle underlying the invention
E - earlier patent document, but published on, or after the filing date
D - document cited in the application
L - document cited for other reasons

However, the coverage of this information is limited :  if we do a scan by generating autority, we get that over 77% of it come from EPO (both for EP and pct applications); the rest from other patent offices
