In the Form Locator 81 coding scheme, what does 0-0A represent?

• A. 0-0A
• B. AC- Attachment Control Number
• C. B3
• D. A1-A4

Answer: (A)

Form Locator 81 uses a predefined coding scheme where specific codes indicate the type of data attached or referenced in the claim. The code 0-0A is the exact symbol used in this scheme to designate the Attachment Control Number. In other words, within the 81 coding system, 0-0A is the marker that tells the processor that the related data piece is the Attachment Control Number. The descriptor “Attachment Control Number” is what the data represents, but the coding symbol used in the form is 0-0A, which is why that option is the best fit.
