Additional information

linked-indexing-code-group

51

Indexing codes are used in association with classification symbols to provide technical information. Their format is similar to classification symbols, but they employ a colon in place of the slash. For example: ANNAnnnn:n[...]. Linked indexing codes show which classification symbols the indexing code is associated with. See Review of the Hybrid Systems in the IPC for more information.

unlinked-indexing-code

51

Unlinked indexing codes are similar to linked indexing codes, but are not linked to an associated classification symbol.

Note

As of 2015, the USPTO has transitioned from using the over 100-year-old U.S. Patent Classification (USPC) system to the Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC), a new classification system jointly developed with the European Patent Office (EPO). The USPTO currently only uses CPC for classifying new utility patent documents; however, it will continue to use U.S. Patent Classification for classifying design and plant patents.
