ST.96 SCHEMAS V0-10 Release Notes

ST.96 XML SCHEMAS VERSION 0.11

RELEASE NOTES ON MARCH 08, 2012

GENERAL REMARKS 1 This release notes provides information on the changes of ST.96 Schemas since its version 0.10 in order to reflect comments, proposals and discussions made by the XML4IP Task Force members including the International Bureau (IB). The version 0.11 is the final draft of XML schema which is presented for consideration and adoption by the Committee on WIPO Standards at its second session.

COMMON COMPONENT SCHEMAS 2 The versionIndicator attribute has been removed because no corresponding component exists in WIPO Standards ST.36, ST.66 and ST.86 and no new requirement was raised by TF members. Further information is available on the XML4IP TF Wiki page of IssueID-389.

3 The following components have been moved to Common namespace from Patent because they are commonly used (expected to be used commonly): ImageRendititionCategoryType, imageStatusCategory(Type) and ImageResolutionQuantity.

4 At PhoneNumberCategoryType, “Other” has been added as a value for transformation with WIPO Standards ST.66 or ST.86.

5 The @identifierKindCode and RegistrationOfficeCode refer to ExtendedWIPOST3CodeType instead of WIPOST3CodeType.

PATENT COMPONENT SCHEMAS 6 As a consequence of moving ImageRendititionCategoryType, imageStatusCategory(Type) and ImageResolutionQuantity to Common from Patent namespace,

- @imageRenditionCategory refers to com:ImageRenditionCategoryType instead of pat:ImageRenditionCategoryType; and

- PatentImageType refers to com:imageStatusCategory and com:ImageResolutionQuantity instead of pat:imageStatusCategory and pat:ImageResolutionQuantity

7 At IPOASISTableType, the cardinality of ‘id’ is set to optional for transformation with ST.36.

8 OASISTable.xsd has been renamed to OASISTable-V0-1.xsd to add version information in its file name. ST.96 XML Schemas V0-11 Release Notes – March 08, 2012 page 2

TRADEMARK COMPONENT SCHEMAS 9 As a consequence of moving ImageRendititionCategoryType, MarkImageRenditionCategory refers to com:ImageRenditionCategoryType instead of tmk:MarkImageRenditionCategoryType.

10 NiceClassNumberType refers to a union of xsd:string (instead of xsd:token) and NiceClassStrictNumberType in order to follow DRCs.

11 NiceClassStrictNumberType refers to xsd:positiveInteger instead of xsd:nonNegativeInteger as a base type for following DRCs.

DESIGN COMPONENT SCHEMAS 12 RightEffectiveDate has been moved from DesignRecordType to DesignType.

13 EarlierDesignCountryCode has been revised to refer to ExtendedWIPOST3CodeType instead of WIPOST3Code.

14 LocarnoClassNumberType has been revised to refer to a union of xsd:string (instead of xsd:token) and LocarnoClassStrictNumberType for following DRCs.
