World Patent Information, 1992, vol. 14, issue 4, 231-234

Abstract: This paper analyses current use of the IPC by major offices, sets out the problems facing an office like the JPO in using the IPC as it stands as a search tool, and proposes less revision of the IPC and longer revision periods so that the IPC will become a basic classification system which offices can supplement with their own additional systems meeting their particular search needs.
