What are the definitions of subclasses and main groups in the IPC?

0

The definitions are a predominant feature of the reformed IPC for improving the usability of the IPC. While former printed versions of the IPC were naturally limited in space for providing information, the online presentation of the IPC will allow for more ample room for explanations and illustrations of the scope of classification places. Such more detailed description is the main objective of the definitions. They consist of eight subsections: “Title” “Definition statement” “Relationship between large subject matter areas” “References relevant to classification in this subclass” “Informative references” “Special rules of classification within this subclass” “Glossary of terms” “Synonyms and keywords” In a first step, definitions for all subclasses will be established. Currently, definitions for approximately 100 subclasses are available and further definitions will be added regularly. Some definitions for main groups are also available.
