Agenda:

• Summary and conclusions


From a document based IPC to a knowledge based IPC repository

IT & IPC Reform

Reformed IPC (RIPC) changes:

+ Simplification, Customization & Complexity (Levels, revision periods, E-layer,..)

+ Automation and IT support

+ IPC knowledge quality

•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



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



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”



• 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


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


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


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)


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/


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
