Hi,

As far as I could see, a CPC classification code like yours below does not exist /(there is 31 and 33, but no 32).

When you will use correct code then your search should look like this:
http://ops.epo.org/3.1/rest-services/pu ... F16H31/001

or when you only look for CPC only :
http://ops.epo.org/3.1/rest-services/pu ... F16H31%2F002

or if you want biblio included:

http://ops.epo.org/3.1/rest-services/pu ... F16H31/001
http://ops.epo.org/3.1/rest-services/p ... 6H31%2F002

Search tearm "cl" will search IPC 8 or CPC and only for CPC you can use "cpc" in a CQL.

I hope this helps,

OPS support
