Navigation and searching the IPC

We offer you several options to search for the appropriate IPC classification symbols:

  • IPC-Verzeichnis: To go to a specific place within the IPC
  • IPC-Recherche: Search for catchwords within the complete text of the IPC
  • IPC-Konkordanz: To display the differences between the corresponding IPC versions

Tip:

Once you have found the correct spot in the IPC index, you can directly transfer the selected IPC symbol to a search query in DEPATISnet by clicking on the magnifying glass, which will display a result list with the corresponding patent publications.
