•Different views of the RIPC during its revision
Reformed IPC revision management system:
• Source for the XML master files of the RIPC
RIPCIS
• Gradual access for IPC MS in preparation
• On-line user manual

Reformed IPC Master files
IPC XML master files:more quality control:
•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”
•20 batch procedures, 15 XSLT

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
IPCVAL for member states:
Restricted access service for validation of symbols in IPC version N+1 not yet in force
http://www.wipo.int/ipcval-4ms
P.Fiévet July 3, 2006
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
P.Fiévet July 3, 2006
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”
P.Fiévet July 3, 2006
IPC symbol VALIDATION service: IPCVAL
• Implementation as WEB service with SOAP interface ?
• IPCVAL Standalone version ?
(proposed for IP offices where Internet access is difficult)
Plans:

Assistance for translation of the RIPC into non-authentic languages:
IPCA6TRANS toolkit
•Input: RIPC XML master files (EN & FR)
•Output: ready for preparation of internet publication in specific language (e.g. ES)
•See presentation IPCA6TRANS_20060704_PF.ppt

Request for Proposal for IPC:CLASS production in progress
IPC:CLASS CD-ROM
•Boolean text Search in the reformed IPC
•Advanced level update functionality
•Language versions: initially EN, FR, (later ES)
•Earliest possible availability: S2 2006
P.Fiévet July 3, 2006
Core Level only with 3 levels of installation under Windows or Linux:
IPC8-CL IPC CORE LEVEL CD-ROM
(Spanish only)
•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

Categorization assistance in the IPC: Today
• IPC 7 only
• Categorization at Main-group level
IPCCAT
• Document languages: English, French, Spanish, Russian, German
• http://www.wipo.int/ipccat
P.Fiévet July 3, 2006
Categorization assistance in the IPC: Today
• Batch submission
IPCCAT
• Standalone version (CDROM)
• One language between EN, FR, ES, DE, and RU
• Hyperbolic tree to browse IPC

Categorization assistance in the IPC: Issues
IPCCAT
• 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
P.Fiévet July 3, 2006
Categorization assistance in the IPC: Plans
• EN/FR Retraining with IPC8 classified documents from MCD and EPO full-text corpora
• Study for extension to Chinese (in progress)
IPCCAT
• More secure submissions (I.e. HTTPs)
• Study IPC categorization at group level (ES)
• ES IPC8 retraining (300,000 docs)
P.Fiévet July 3, 2006
Natural Language search in the IPC
TACSY
• 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/
P.Fiévet July 3, 2006
Conclusions about the IT support contribution to the Reformed IPC
+ More customization and automation
=
IPC knowledge quality improvement
IT support for RIPC:
+ More assistance=
Increased re-use of IPC information
