| Field | Description |
|---|
| office_code | WIPO ST.3 office code (e.g. `IB`, `FR`, `EP`, `US`) |
| filing_year | Year used for random filing dates (Jan 1 → today) |
| *.enabled | Whether this IP type is generated by default |
| *.number_regex | Pattern for generating application numbers (see below) |
Number regex syntax
| Token | Meaning |
|---|
| `\d{N}` or `[0-9]{N}` | N random decimal digits |
| `{year}` | Replaced by `filing_year` before digit substitution |
| Any other character | Kept as-is (literal) |
Examples for common offices:
| Office | IP type | `number_regex` | Example output |
|---|
| `IB` | Patent | `PCT/IB{year}/\d{6}` | `PCT/IB2026/050123` |
| `FR` | Patent | `FR\d{7}` | `FR2420100` |
| `FR` | Design | `\d{8}` | `01519876` |
| `FR` | Trademark | `\d{9}` | `018975602` |
| `EP` | Patent | `EP\d{8}` | `EP23123456` |
| `EP` | Patent | `EP\d{8}` | `EP23123456` |
| `US` | Patent | `US\d{7}` | `US1234567` |
All options
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|
| `--config FILE` | `pddp_config.json` | JSON configuration file |
| `--ip-type TYPE` | `all` | `patent`, `design`, `trademark`, or `all` (enabled in config) |
| `--count N` | `1` | Packages to generate per IP type |
| `--output-dir DIR` | `.` | Output directory |
| `--number APPNUM` | random | Full application number override (single package only) |
| `--seq-listing` | off | Add ST.25 sequence listing to patent packages |

Usage
| Code Block |
|---|
|
# Generate all enabled types from config (default: 1 of each)
python3 generate_pddp_ib.py
# Generate only patents, 5 packages
python3 generate_pddp_ib.py --ip-type patent --count 5
# Generate all enabled types into a folder
python3 generate_pddp_ib.py --count 3 --output-dir ./output
# Use a different config (e.g. FR office)
python3 generate_pddp_ib.py --config fr_config.json --ip-type patent
# Fix a specific application number (single package only)
python3 generate_pddp_ib.py --ip-type patent --number "PCT/IB2026/050123"
# Include ST.25 sequence listing in patent packages
python3 generate_pddp_ib.py --ip-type patent --count 2 --seq-listing |
