Terminology
¨References: http://www.wipo.int/ipcreclassification/
MCD: Master classification database for IPC
Reclassification- Patent documents-automatic /intellectual-
Symbol: IPC symbol as per WIPO standard ST.8
Working list (WL): IPC Reclassification “to be done”
Results List (RL): IPC Reclassification “response”
Error List (EL): “response” problem or warning
IPCRECLASS on line help
And others e.g. Stages in IPCRECLASS on-line help
IPC reclassification
¨highlights:
Reclassification for the purpose of IPC revision only
The reference source is the MCD but reclassification goes through IPCRECLASS
Per-project WLs with several families to reclassify
Reclassify one document on behalf of the family
In WL symbols are at document and family level
In RL symbols are considered only at family level

IPCRECLASS communication strategy
¨Essentially email based:
As soon as possible feedback by EMAIL
Make sure your office email address is up to date in IPCRECLASS
Access to IPCRECLASS log by office
Email notification to office + MCD
WL+ RL publication in the IPC reclassification web site
Prerequisite to use IPCRECLASS
¨Make sure you have:
A rapporteur login+password for your office: xxRAP01
An up to date email address in IPCRECLASS
Know the protocol for email based submissions of RL (see http://www.wipo.int/ipcreclassification/ )
IPCRECLASS constraints
Convention format and filenames:
Strict file name convention for RL files prevents upload of the same RL file twice
Only tag format for symbols in XML RL files
3 IPC reclassification options
Share the same controls in IPCRECLASS:
Off-line RL submission through email
On-line interactive
On-line import of RL files
IPC reclassification options
Off-line reclassification
Download WL or export WL from IPCRECLASS
email based submission of RL files
Fully automated processing of email submission
Strict protocol for email (title, attachment names,…)
Strict respect of RL XML file format required
« IPCRECLASS Reclassified OK » does not necessarily mean « MCD Reclassified OK »
IPC reclassification options
On-line interactive*
WL shows document and family symbols to be reclassified (highlighted in yellow)
Not always possible to consult in espacenet the document referred to by the MCD WL
Some ST. 8 fields symbols automatically filled-in
At least one reclassification symbol is needed to mark the reclassification as completed
Automatic de-activation of the old symbol upon this action
IPC reclassification options
On-line import of RL files*
Strict respect of RL XML file format required
Feedback sent by email to the concerned office
Accept what can be marked as « Reclassified OK »
Rejects « Reclassified not OK IPCRECLASS»
« IPCRECLASS Reclassified OK » does not necessarily mean « MCD Reclassified OK »
Monitoring of work progress
Overall status report: “report tab”*Use filters to customize views
Per project
Office work is completed when « document to reclassify » shows 0
Monitoring of work progress
Detailed statusResult list tab for « Reclassified OK »
Working List tab + global reclassification status filter for any type of « Reclassified NOK »
Some error cases and scenarios
Offline submission of a RL with invalid symbol
Access to the log for the concerned office
Error notification for RL submission by SE
http://www.wipo.int/ipcreclass/en/log/errors
IPCRECLASS_errors_SE_210213.txt
E001%SE%1150261%A1%2013-02-21-17.26.28.000000%
M16H48/20%2012-01-01%A%L%N%2013-02-21%H%SE
*Reference Document: MCD Error and Warning Reports
“IPC symbol invalidsymbol does not exist”
“document country code”
“document sequence number”
“document kind code”
“date and time at which error or warning was generated”
“ST.8 Symbol”
Notification of successful RL submission by SE
Stage 1a to Stage 1b notification*
Some special cases
Transfer of responsibility (by IB) to another office
Stage 3: only IB can do the reclassification using default transfer (not yet implemented)
No easy means to undo wrong submissions
Special Operations Mode (SOM)
e.g. during upload of WLs by WIPO
Reclassification in the IPC
IPCRECLASS
Suggestions for improvements to IPCRECLASS: to IPC-IEF project CE446
