IDPs

IDPs, or International Patent Classification codes, are a system used to categorize patents based on their technical content. Think of them as labels that organize inventions into specific technology areas, making it easier for researchers, companies, and patent experts to find related innovations and track technological progress. These codes help streamline search processes, assess patent landscapes, and manage intellectual property efficiently across different fields and jurisdictions. Essentially, IDPs provide a standardized way to classify and access technical information within the vast world of patents.
