description: Cooperative Patent Classification Data contains the scheme and definitions of the Cooperative Patent Classification system for classifying patent documents. The CPC is the result of a partnership between the EPO and the USPTO in their joint effort to develop a common, internationally compatible classification system for technical documents, in particular patent publications, which will be used by both offices in the patent granting process
