Vienna Classification

The Vienna Classification is a system used to categorize inventions based on their technical features and functions. Developed for patent classification, it helps organize patents into distinct groups, making it easier for researchers, inventors, and businesses to find related technologies. This classification divides inventions into various classes and subclasses, reflecting their specific characteristics. By standardizing how inventions are categorized, the Vienna Classification improves the efficiency of patent searches and fosters innovation by facilitating access to existing knowledge and technologies.
