What does ipc number mean?

IPC, known as "International Patent Classification", is a unified standard for classifying technical fields. Patent documents can be classified by IPC number, which is convenient for patent inventors, applicants and examiners to find patent documents in related technical fields more quickly.

In addition, IPC number can also be used to find other scientific research achievements in this technical field. If you are doing a specific technical research, you can quickly find other research results in this field by looking up IPC numbers, so as to improve research efficiency and avoid repeated research.

IPC numbers can also be used in international patent applications. Different countries or regions have different requirements for patent application, but by using IPC number, patent applicants can better grasp the requirements of various countries and better complete the patent application process. Therefore, it is of great significance to be familiar with IPC numbers.
