 C12

Note(s)

  1. In subclasses C12M to Q and within each of these subclasses, in the absence of an indication to the contrary, an invention is classified in the last appropriate place. [3]
  2. In this class, viruses, undifferentiated plant or animal cells, protozoa and unicellular algae are considered as micro-organisms. Also, sub-cellular parts, unless specifically provided for, are classified with the whole cell. [3]
  3. In this class, it is desirable to add, in conformity with paragraph 83 of the Guide, after the double oblique stroke, the indexing codes of subclass C12R (see Note (1) following the title of subclass C12R). [3]
 C12R
INDEXING SCHEME ASSOCIATED WITH SUBCLASSES C12C TO Q, RELATING TO MICRO-ORGANISMS  [3]
 C12R

Note(s)

  1. This subclass constitutes an indexing scheme for non-obligatory use only. The indexing scheme may be used to identify "additional information", which constitutes further information about subject matter already classified in other subclasses of class C12. The indexing codes of this subclass, of which only the pertinent ones should be selected, are added in conformity with paragraph 76 of the Guide so as to provide information concerning the micro-organisms used in the processes classified in subclasses C12C to Q. These indexing codes should be presented as linked to the classification symbols with which they are associated, in conformity with paragraph 85 (a) of the Guide. [3]
  2. The bacteria terminology is based on "Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology", Eighth Edition, 1975. [3]
