Nieuwe, herziene, editie van de International Patent Classification (IPC) (a hierarchical system in which the whole area of technology is divided into a range of sections, classes, subclasses and groups. This system is indispensable for the retrieval of patent documents in the search for establishing the novelty of an invention or determining the state of the art in a particular area of technology.). The next, eighth edition of the IPC will enter into force on January 1, 2006.
