INID is an acronym for Internationally agreed Numbers for the Identification of (bibliographic) Data.{{cite web|url=http://www.wipo.int/standards/en/pdf/03-09-01.pdf|title=WIPO standard ST.9}} INID codes are used by patent offices worldwide for indicating specific bibliographic data items on the title pages of patents and patent application publications. INID codes use Arabic numerals, and so are language-independent. For example, number (30) indicates priority data, and (51) technical area according to the International Patent Classification (IPC).Example for INID codes on the [http://v3.espacenet.com/origdoc?DB=EPODOC&F=0&IDX=EP0123456&QPN=EP0123456 front page] of {{Patent|EP|0123456}}
INID codes are standardised by World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in ST.9.
