Presentation outline The Master Classification Database 1.Main features 2.MCD Backfile 3.MCD Frontfile 4.Reclassification 5.User Access European Patent Office

3 Master Classification Database (MCD) Main Features of the IPC Reform Main Features MCD Backfile MCD Frontfile Reclassification User Access continuous revision of schemes reclassification of documents in revised areas Need to create a worldwide Master Classification Database (MCD) Commitment of the European Patent Office to extend its DocDB to cover MCD

4 Master Classification Database (MCD) Main Features of the MCD Main Features MCD Backfile MCD Frontfile Reclassification User Access New tables for IPC symbols Classification symbol Version indicator Classification level Invention / additional info First or later symbol Classification value Action date Original or reclassified data Source of data Generating office Same set of priorities active versus inactive claimed versus artificial IPC for new documents on document level IPC for backfile and reclassified documents on family level Storage of extended ST.8 information Simple family Concept of Operations ("CONOPS")

5 Master Classification Database (MCD) Unique advanced level backfile - 54,000,000 documents Conversion of backfile documents MCD Backfile Main Features MCD Backfile MCD Frontfile Reclassification User Access IPC 1 documents IPC 4 documents IPC 7 documents

6 Master Classification Database (MCD) MCD Backfile Main Features MCD Backfile MCD Frontfile Reclassification User Access Creation of the MCD backfile ECLA-to-IPC Conversion National Offices Backfile IPC-to-IPC Conversion Use of ECLA symbols to create IPC symbols Use of a special concordance table Conversion of national backfile by offices JPO backfile EAPO backfile "Best guess" conversion from old to new IPC only for remaining documents will be replaced by NO backfile if available

7 Master Classification Database (MCD) IPC 8 validation IPC ? MCD Backfile Main Features MCD Backfile MCD Frontfile Reclassification User Access MCD Default Indicators Roll-up Adv. to Core Storage on simple family! Reclassification IPC 1-7 JP,KR,CN.. DE ECLA

8 Master Classification Database (MCD) MCD Backfile Main Features MCD Backfile MCD Frontfile Reclassification User Access Expected Completeness: 95% - by mid 2006 ECLA-to-IPC 8 23,000,000 docs DocDB (MCD) Converted Backfile JPO / DPMA input 16,000,000 docs IPC 1-7 -to-IPC 8 15,000,000 docs 3,000,000 docs Other offices

10 Master Classification Database (MCD) Reclassification Main Features MCD Backfile MCD Frontfile Reclassification User Access Continuous revision of the advanced level Release cycle every three months Reclassification after revision Advanced Level Subcommittee Authority to revise the advanced level Offices committed to do more than 20% of the reclassification work Currently trilateral offices Coordination with IPC/WG when core level is affected

11 Master Classification Database (MCD) Reclassification Main Features MCD Backfile MCD Frontfile Reclassification User Access One document per family selected for reclassification Working lists for ALS & other reclassifying offices (advanced level) Working lists for all offices (core level) Results stored on simple family level

12 Master Classification Database (MCD) User Access Main Features MCD Backfile MCD Frontfile Reclassification User Access User Access to the MCD EPOQUE / EPODOC DocDB exchange products EPO examiners EPO Member State Offices Trilateral Offices General public Commercial providers Other exchange clients

13 Master Classification Database (MCD) User Access - EPOQUE / EPODOC Main Features MCD Backfile MCD Frontfile Reclassification User Access ICA ICC IC Fields Indexes Description IC ICAI ICAN ICCI ICCN IPC (1-7) IPC Advanced, Invention IPC Advanced, Non-Invention IPC Core, Invention IPC Core, Non-Invention IC

14 Master Classification Database (MCD) User Access - Main Features MCD Backfile MCD Frontfile Reclassification User Access

15 Master Classification Database (MCD) User Access - Main Features MCD Backfile MCD Frontfile Reclassification User Access Advanced modifiers ci: selects IPC core invention cn:selects IPC core non-invention ai:selects IPC advanced invention an:selects IPC advanced non-invention c:selects IPC core a: selects IPC advanced

16 Master Classification Database (MCD) Conclusion Main Features MCD Backfile MCD Frontfile Reclassification User Access MCD - The backbone of the IPC Reform Its up and running ! IPC Reform symbols accessible to the user community strengthens worldwide cooperation in classification
