Question:

After processing by TransformerCli, in the citations section WIPO patents seem to come through with a "text"="WOWO xxxxxxx". According to USPTO documentation, the correct header appears to be "WO" (see https://www.uspto.gov/patents-application-process/applying-online/country-codes-wipo-st3-table).

Is this "WOWO" header correct, or an error? Also, given that most other country codes are adjacent to the numbers, is the space correct?

Example:
US Patent: US9234358B2

"citations": [....
            {
              "num": "00050",
              "text": "WOWO 94/03095A1",
              "citedBy": "PATCIT",
              "examinerCited": false,
              "type": "PATENT"
            },
....

As of this point my prototypes have not done much with foreign citations. But this does seem to occur quite often, in the data. As of right now foreign patent numbers are the way they appear in the data, with the addition to the country code. So this problems seems to occur when the patent number already has the country code, thus its repeated when the country code is added. Different countries use different numbering schemes, and I just haven't got around to researching the best way to represent them. In this case Google patents translates the number to "WO1994003095A1"

Thanks, that's helpful. I'll decide how I want to deal with the issue for now.
