9.a Report on Handover of the Working List management from the EPO to WIPO 51th session of the IPC Committee of Experts Geneva February 21, 2019 Olivier Collioud IT Systems Section International Classifications and Standards Division
Agenda • Project Status review • IPCWLMS infrastructure & Simulation site • Main outcomes of the 2019.01 Simulation testing • IPCWLM summary of timelines
IPCWLM project status review • Status to date: • Preliminary technical investigations and clarifications to prepare IPCWLMS implementation: Done • Work on legacy reclassification: on-hold until Residual Working Lists produced by IPCWLMS are analyzed • IPCWLMS Implementation started on November 2018 • Infrastructure and Simulation on IPC 2019.01 • Transfer of IPCRECLASS functionality: just started
IPCWLMS infrastructure and simulation site • Simulation files and context in which files were produced • Partial involvement of Offices in testing phases • Communication to offices about the simulation context • IPC version used: 2019.01 • Version of DOCDB XML: August 2018 • The list of IP5, ISA, Full level, main-group level, and DIY offices ST.3 codes
Main outcomes of the IPCWLMS- 2019.01 Simulation testing • No concrete example was found which proved the non-compliance of the simulation with the agreed Distribution Algorithm (see project CE 492 Annex 18) • Nevertheless, issues related to consequences of its application or from missed requirements in the simulation reports were reported • Thus it is proposed that the IB will further proceed the development of IPCWLMS • An additional iteration of testing based on recent update of DOCDB XML and improved simulation reports may occur on volunteering Offices demand
IPCWLMS summary of timelines • Q1 2019: Testing of New WL distribution algorithm + WL files simulation • IPCWLMS Implementation phase 2: Q4 2019
