How is Nanotechnology Classified in the CPC System?
The CPC system provides detailed subcategories for nanotechnology, which are more specific than those in the IPC. For example:
- Y10S977: Nanotechnology applications, including nanomaterials, devices, and methods. - B82Y: Specifically designated for nanostructures and their applications, similar to the IPC but with additional granularity.
This extended classification allows for more precise categorization and easier retrieval of nanotechnology patents.
