The data fields are divided into four areas. The first area is the Office action area. All data fields in the Office action area are labeled as 'OA+number'. Numbers are separated by groups of data fields. (They may not always be consecutive numbers.)
The second area is the Relationships area. The Relationships area displays the relationship between the input patent and the patents in the rejection relationship (e.g., rejection due to lack of novelty, whether or not the two patents are the same right holder (self-rejection), etc.). All data fields in the relationship area are labeled as 'R+number'.
The third area is the Input Patent area, which is the reference. All data fields in the input patent area are labeled as 'I+number'.
The fourth area is for patents that have a rejection relationship with the input patent. Rejection relationship patents can be either preceding patents that rejected the input patent (RPS, rejecting preceding patent)** or subsequent patents that the input patent rejected (RSP, rejecting subsequent patent)**. However, there will never be two kinds of rejecting preceding and subsequent patents in one excel file. All data fields in the Rejecting patents area are labeled as 'R+P or S+number'. P stands for 'preceding', indicating the preceding patents that caused the rejection of the input patent. S means 'subsequent', displaying subsequent patents rejecting the input patent.
