If you're looking for prior art, document-based disclosure seems more important while, if you're looking for potential commercial opportunities or for technology to licence-in, a claims-based classification may have more to offer. I assume that an experienced patent searcher will know how to play either system prtty efficiently.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-1125492957545831052005-08-31T13:55:00.000+01:002005-08-31T13:55:00.000+01:00The IPC is widely used and by treaty shown on many...The IPC is widely used and by treaty shown on many published patent applications. Like all search aids it has its limitations. One of the most serious is that the code is applied on the basis of a patent document's claims rather than the disclosure in the document. The UK system, evolved over many years, is based on the disclosure in the document. It is not perfect; this is due to the use of human beings in its implementation. However for searchers, the commentator is a minor one, the loss of the UK coding would be a tragedy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
