Validity File ProcessingValidity File Processing
Validate validity file. Ensure ADABAS and ORACLE files in synch. Upload to ADABAS and ORACLE Mark in error newly obsolete IPC codes for any unpublished IAs

PublicationPublication
Patentscope - WIPO internet resource for publicationPatentscope - WIPO internet resource for publication Original publication differs from current bibliographic data Merged IPC searching facility
• new IPC codes
• old IPC codes where not yet reclassified Position indicator dropped - not in MCD file Search Types
• IC - IPC codes
• ICI - IPC code as Inventive
• ICN - IPC code as non-inventive

Future WorkFuture Work
Next MCD Backfile expected July. Check on exception cases. Communicate Frontfile Reclassification list to EPO and others
(ST.50) ISAs to reclassify 7 to 8 IAs published 2006
