How is Nanotechnology Classified in the IPC System?
In the IPC system, nanotechnology is primarily classified under section B82. Here are some important subclasses:
- B82B: Nano-structures, e.g., nanocrystals, quantum dots, nanotubes. - B82Y: Specific uses or applications of nano-structures; measurement or analysis at the nanoscale.
These classifications cover a broad range of nanomaterials and their applications, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the field.
