Within the French system(s) of patent registration and documentation, a "certificat d'addition", almost invariably abbreviated as "cert d'addition", or even "cert d'add", is a patent registered in a manner specifically and formally treating it as an addition to some parent patent. Original documents show both the earlier number and a new number, which will be invariably and conspicuously lower than the number of the parent patent and conspicuously lower than the numbers given to filed near its point in time. In cases in which we discover a patent solely by way of such catalogues as the Bulletin Officiel de la propriété industrielle & commerciale or the French Catalogue des Brevets d'Invention we may only have access to the new number. When a French patent is included within Espacenet, it will be primarily searchable by way of the added number, though the principle number will be viewable on the original document itself.
In the cases of French patents, these certificates of addition, or "certs d'addition", will be a key instance of our using the "Supplementary to patent" field. (There are other uses, in which a new registration isn't necessarily an addition to an earlier patent, per se, but still makes reference. References are also made to equivalent filed earlier in other nations.)
The phrase "cert d'add" will occasionally be found within the patent's title, particularly within the antique catalogues.
