3 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 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 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 1970 - 1975 IPC 4 documents 1985 - 1990 IPC 7 documents 2000 - 2005

6 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 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 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 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 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 12 Master Classification Database (MCD) User Access Main Features MCD Backfile MCD Frontfile Reclassification User Access User Access to the MCD EPOQUE / EPODOC esp@cenet DocDB exchange products EPO examiners EPO Member State Offices Trilateral Offices General public Commercial providers Other exchange clients
