Hello,
I've been trying to locate documentation on how revisions to the CPC are handled in patent entries accessed via OPS. When the CPC produces a new release, are all patents reprocessed and re-classified according to the latest release? Only applied to new patents?
Thank you for any information you might be able to provide me.

Re: CPC release updates handling
Dear Mr Zamudio,
Basically, all patents (new and old) are re-classified according to the revised scheme, however, as explained in http://www.cooperativepatentclassificat ... aq.html#Q6, the re-classification work may be done before or after making the revision of the scheme public.
Kind regards,
OPS support

Re: CPC release updates handling
Just curious, is there any way one can tell (via software) when a re-processing has been preformed based on a revision?

Hi,
This is all what OPS Published services will show:
But if you are referring to OPS classification service then you have some revision information available:
