Another reference tool for searching patents by classification is the
PatentBible,available from MicroPatent on CD-ROM.
The disc contains 7 databases, including the Manual of Classification,
the Definitions, and the Index to the Manual, as well as the
Concordance (US to IPC) that has been referred to by several
searchers. In addition, there are two databases covering CURRENT US
Classification for all US Patents. And the final database is the MPEP.
With this disc and IPC:Class disc referred to earlier, you can have
searchable access to all of the necessary classification reference
tools. The disc is updated twice yearly and costs $395.
For more information, contact MicroPatent Sales at 800 648-6787 from
the US or 203 466-5055 from elsewhere.
