  4. International Classifications

  5. IPC Homepage • URL: http://www.wipo.int/classifications/ipc/en/ • General information on IPC; Guide to the IPC • Browse and search the IPC • Information on IPC-related meetings • Links to assistance tools (IPCCAT, etc.) • Resources for IPC Community (IPC E-Forum, etc.) • Training material and presentations • Download and IT Support: PDF, XML, file specifications, DTDs, etc.

  6. International Patent Classification(IPC) General Information, Guide, etc. IPC scheme (IPC Official Publication) News Training examples, presentations, etc. Resources (IPC E-Forum, etc.) Assistance tools

  7. International Patent Classification(IPC) IT Support (IPC master files, etc.) IPC-related meetings and seminars PATENTSCOPE

  8. IPC-related internet resources Resources hosted by WIPO • IPC Official Publication • Catchword Index • Terms • STATS • IPCCAT • IPC E-Forum • PATENTSCOPE, etc.

  9. IPC Official Publication • Available at: http://web2.wipo.int/ipcpub/#refresh=page • Master Files for local installations • PDF files for download • English and French as official languages • Other language versions provided by national Offices • Accessible via link (Bridge)

  10. IPC Official Publication Scheme tab (default) Help IPC version and IPC symbol View mode (path/full/hierarchic) Display option (Subclass indexes, Guidance Headings, Notes, etc.)

  11. IPC Scheme - PDF file Download IPC scheme (PDF file) All PDF files are available at Download and IT support area: http://www.wipo.int/classifications/ipc/en/support/

  12. Supplementary information in the IPC • Supplementary to the IPC scheme • Accessible via links/icons • Definitions of subclass/group when available • Terms in scheme are linked to Glossary of Terms in Definitions (e.g. A01F) • Illustrations, Chemical formulae (e.g. C07D499/00, F23B50/02) • Bridge

  13. Definitions

  14. Definitions Contents: • Broader explanation of scope • Relations to other related/similar areas • References • Special rules • Glossary (terms in scheme linked to glossary) • Synonyms, e.g. alternative expressions used in patent documents

  15. Bridge Allows quick bridging/access to: • IPC National translations; • Other classifications (CPC, FI/F-term, etc.).

  16. Bridge • Allows quick access to: • Patent databases (Patentscope, Espacenet, IPDL, etc.) for selected symbol.

  17. Catchword Index

  18. Terms (text search of the IPC)

  19. Terms 1. Input keyword (e.g. “ nano* ”) 2. Display results 3. Links to the IPC scheme

  20. Terms Limit to A01=“Agriculture” Limit to C02=“Treatment of water, etc.” Limit to C=“Chemistry” Limit to A23=“Food or foodstuffs”

  21. IPCCAT (categorization tool) • A categorization assistance tool for the IPC designed to help to classify patent documents at IPC subclass/main group level • Designed with the concept of full phrases describing the technical subject matter (not a keyword search tool) • Upload of document is possible • Based on artificial neural network • It is suggested that patent abstracts be used (at the minimum), and not a random selection of text from the patent description • Need to consult the IPC scheme • Available at: https://www3.wipo.int/ipccat/

  25. STATS (Statistical approach) • Identifies IPC entries most frequently referenced in the PATENTSCOPE database searched by particular terms. • Statistical presentation of the search results is performed according to IPC subclasses and groups. • Search by simple terms and multi-term (combination of simple terms separated by a space) in all patent collections of the PATENTSCOPE.

  26. STATS

  27. Parallel Viewer • Optional function to display CPC/FI entries under the parent IPC • CPC/FI view is not the official version of CPC/FI. e.g. CPC warning and notes, Y section, 2000 series are not displayed • use Bridge function to check the official version of CPC/FI • Versions of CPC/FI are indicated in left bottom. e.g. CPC version: 2014.02 FI version: 2013.11.01 CPC:Cooperative Patent Classification jointly developed by EPO&USPTO FI: File Index - Japanese patent classification

  28. Parallel Viewer Show CPC/FI

  29. Parallel Viewer FI entries CPC entries CPC/FI version
