Google Patent Data Analytics: Art Units & IPCs

Art Units & IPCs

This visualization shows:
  • the assignees to whom the patents issued;
  • the IP law firms which prosecuted the corresponding patent applications;
  • the countries represented by the various assignees;
  • the Group Art Units in which the patents are classified by the USPTO; and
  • the WIPO IPC subclasses in which the patents are classified by the USPTO.
Click one of the colored data bars to restrict the visualization to patents corresponding to that data bar. Click a document total number in the Document Kind or IPC subclass sections to restrict the visualization to patents corresponding to either of those numbers. Hover your mouse pointer over different parts of the visualization for further details and instructions. Click the revert all button (the circular back arrow symbol) at the bottom of the visualization to return to the initial visualization. See the FAQ tab for further details.
