  1. Statistics Considered When Prioritizing Common Hybrid Classification (cHc) Projects Presenter: Dave Bender (USPTO)

  2. Common Hybrid Classification Goals • Common searches for cross-filed applications • Reclassification work sharing Presenter: Dave Bender (USPTO)

  3. cHc Project Basics • Identify the best schemes/groups to use from IP5 local classifications (CN, EP, JP, KR, US) • Integrate selected groups into cohesive schemes • Implement schemes in IPC Presenter: Dave Bender (USPTO)

  4. cHc Project constraints • Time • Resources • Existing local classifications (primarily) • IPC administration Presenter: Dave Bender (USPTO)

  5. Factors affecting harmonization priority Goal based factors: • Filing activity • Cross filings between IP5 Offices • Domestic filings • Back file growth rates • Local classification development Resource based factors: • Back file size • Back file distribution • Within subclasses • Between subclasses Presenter: Dave Bender (USPTO)

  6. Factors affecting harmonization priority • Filing activity – high cross filing subclasses A23L A61B A61F A61K A61M A63F B01D B01J B08B B23K B24B B29C B32B B41J B60J B60R B62D B65D B65H C01B C07C C07D C07K C08F C08G C09K C12N C22C C23C F02C F02D F02M F04B F16C F16H F21V F25B F28F G01N G01R G02B G02F G03B G03G G05B G05F G06F G06K G06Q G08B G09G G10L G11B G11C H01B H01J H01L H01M H01P H01Q H01R H01S H02J H02K H02P H03F H03K H03M H04B H04L H04M H04N H04R H05K Presenter: Dave Bender (USPTO)

  10. Factors affecting harmonization priority • Local classification development – IPC with no ECLA A01P B04C B41D B68F C12F C12J C14B D02H D04C D04G D06J F23B G09C Presenter: Dave Bender (USPTO)

  11. Factors affecting harmonization priority • Local classification development – ECLA/FI Presenter: Dave Bender (USPTO)

  12. Factors affecting harmonization priority • Back file size Presenter: Dave Bender (USPTO)

  13. Factors affecting harmonization priority • Back file distribution – within subclasses Presenter: Dave Bender (USPTO)

  14. Factors affecting harmonization priority • Back file distribution – between subclasses Average number of IPC symbols/family: 2.4 Presenter: Dave Bender (USPTO)

  15. Conclusion - Prioritizing IP5 projects While IP5 projects are limited by Office budgets, i.e. resources available over a given period of time, statistical data about the IPC and the documents classified therein can help prioritize and organize projects to more quickly achieve the goals of IP5 and to maximize the efficiency of reclassification.
