Post by EPO / EPAL Team » Thu Sep 16, 2021 11:14 am

CPC symbols assigned by patent examiners to EP publications are now available and searchable on the day of publication (Wednesday 14:00 CET) in the following tools:

1. European publication server
2. EP full-text search
3. EP Bulletin search

Please note that:
- User manuals of 2 and 3 will be soon updated
- CPC symbols are not yet visible on the first page of original publications in PDF format
