Reformed IPC Master files IPC XML master files:more quality control: • 20 batch procedures, 15 XSLT • 175 QC rules: • RIPCIS built-in rules • E.g. Rule 66 “References must point to valid and non-deleted entries in the same level (core or advanced) of IPC”

IPC symbol VALIDATION service: IPCVAL • Public IPCVAL: • Public service for validation of symbols in IPC version N already in force • http://www.wipo.int/ipcval IPCVALfor member states: Restricted access service for validation of symbols in IPC version N+1 not yet in force http://www.wipo.int/ipcval-4ms
IPC symbol VALIDATION service: IPCVAL • Uses IPC Validity file content + time to return: • Validity status • Version indicator • Batch submission: • Several documents with several IPC symbols • one XML file or several zipped together • See example of XML format in the on-line help
IPC symbol VALIDATION service: IPCVAL • WARNING: • The status “changed” requires investigation • No check of ST.8 positions 29 to 50 (e.g. presence of at least one symbol with classification value = “inventive”
IPC symbol VALIDATION service: IPCVAL Plans: • Implementation as WEB service with SOAP interface ? • IPCVAL Standalone version ? • (proposed for IP offices where Internet access is difficult)

IPC8-CL IPC CORE LEVEL CD-ROM (Spanish only) Core Level only with 3 levels of installation under Windows or Linux: • 100% from CD:(neither installation nor internet access are required) • 100% intranet:software installation but no internet access required • 100% intranet + internet access for IPC bridge

IPCCAT Categorization assistance in the IPC: Today • IPC 7 only • Document languages: English, French, Spanish, Russian, German • Categorization at Main-group level • http://www.wipo.int/ipccat
IPCCAT Categorization assistance in the IPC: Today • Batch submission • Standalone version (CDROM) • One language between EN, FR, ES, DE, and RU • Hyperbolic tree to browse IPC
IPCCAT Categorization assistance in the IPC: Issues • Retraining with IPC8 classified documents from MCD and IFD (1985-2005) was not satisfactory : Lower precision than IPC7 • Memorandum of understanding about WIPO/EPO cooperation on this matter is in progress
IPCCAT Categorization assistance in the IPC: Plans • ES IPC8 retraining (300,000 docs) • EN/FR Retraining with IPC8 classified documents from MCD and EPO full-text corpora • Study for extension to Chinese (in progress) • More secure submissions (I.e. HTTPs) • Study IPC categorization at group level (ES)
TACSY Natural Language search in the IPC • public version: fuzzy search in IPC version N already in force • restricted access to test fuzzy search in IPC version N+1 not yet in force • Supported Languages: English, French • http://www.wipo.int/tacsy/
Conclusions about the IT support contribution to the Reformed IPC IT support for RIPC: • More customization and automation • More assistance • = • Increased re-use of IPC information • IPC knowledge quality improvement
