About this file
This document contains a correction notice and guidelines for a federal agency's patent data capture program. The United States Patent and Trademark Office issued a bulletin to immediately update its guidelines for capturing the field of classification search for pending and issued patents. The changes supersede prior guidance for capturing classification symbol ranges and provide examples of the correct format for recording classification terms and groupings when compiling application data. This data capture work is performed by contractors and used by the Office of Data Management to support the patent examination process through activities like pre-grant publication, post-allowance processing, and post-issuance record updates.
