IPC
Reform (IPC V8) and Questel
The new Reformed IPC, also know as IPC 8,
will be the standard for classifying patent
documents starting January 1st 2006. This
new standard was designed to be a living
classification index to improve search and
retrieval precision and overall a more efficient
search tool.
The EPO, along with the USPTO, JPO, DPMA,
and other offices, are also reclassifying
the back-file patents using concordance
tables based on ECLA, IPC v 1-7, so that
approximately 95% of the back-file patents
will be classified by mid-2006. |
