ECLA codes are <strong>available</strong> for all publications where the classification is assigned by the European Patent Office (PCT<br />

m<strong>in</strong>imum documentation). This way about half of all documents are accessible us<strong>in</strong>g an ECLA code.<br />

Note: The ECLA is updated quite frequently (see the file banner <strong>in</strong> INPADOCDB and INPAFAMDB). So the codes<br />

should be checked before every search us<strong>in</strong>g them. It is also important to note that as a rule the ECLA codes are not<br />

<strong>available</strong> immediately when a new document is entered <strong>in</strong> the database but that they are often added later.<br />

18.4.2 ICO Classification<br />

The ICO classification was newly <strong>in</strong>troduced and offers additional potential for <strong>in</strong>-depth search<strong>in</strong>g. The EPO uses ICO<br />

codes to <strong>in</strong>dex additional aspects of an <strong>in</strong>vention.<br />

Most ICO codes are similar to EPC codes; <strong>in</strong> place of A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H the letters K, L, M, N, P, R, S, T are used as the<br />

first letter.<br />

ICO codes are standardised to IPC8 format, e.g. M12Q0001-68D4. In the INPADOC <strong>databases</strong> there are separate<br />

search and display fields for ICO codes (ICO). In the Chemical Abstracts the ICO codes can be searched and displayed<br />

<strong>in</strong> the EPC field (ECLA, EPCLA).<br />
