Ok, much appreciated, thanks!

I can't give much away regarding my text for obvious reasons.

Marco, looks like you can have the points if your want them.

Emmanuella Jan 4, 2022:

Conor, I was pleased to be helpful.

Conor McAuley (asker) Jan 4, 2022:

Hashcode is right. I think it's a very close call between Marco and Emmanuella who posted the key information first. Can you both post answers and the community can decide regarding points? Is that fair?

Emmanuela's reference gives "hashcode", which is a possibility, though I think that's likely to be a coding term and therefore not appropriate here.

Samuël Buysschaert Jan 4, 2022:

Here what i found about what could maybe refer as "condensat" the long code,

On this document PCT demand
there is a section "Applicant’s or agent’s file reference"
https://www.wipo.int/export/sites/www/pct/en/forms/demand/ed...

and if you look at this one:
PCT request
this section "Applicant’s or agent’s file reference":
Applicant’s or agent’s file reference (if desired) (25 characters maximum) might be what condensat is, a sort of identifier code.
https://www.wipo.int/export/sites/www/pct/en/forms/request/e...

File reference might be similar from what you described

There is also a WIPO PROOF service (condensat/hash suivant la piste d'Emmanuella)
https://www.wipo.int/wipo_magazine/fr/2020/02/article_0001.h...
https://wipoproof.wipo.int/wdts/how-it-works.xhtml?lang=en
https://wipoproof.wipo.int/wdts/how-it-works.xhtml?lang=fr //

Anyway in any case, it refer surely to a kind of code/hash use internally or not.

I should have clarified -- the patent application has nothing to do with chemistry.

philgoddard Jan 4, 2022:

I had to look up "demande PCT" - it means patent cooperation treaty. But what does the patent relate to? Why don't you think "condensate" will do?

Samuël Buysschaert Jan 4, 2022:

Sans certitude aucune, "condensat" pour "condensation" dans le sens
peut-être condensation de texte, contraction ou synthèse, du code ou de version.
La référence renvoie peut-être à cette version "light" du document.
