| CPC | COOPERATIVE PATENT CLASSIFICATION |
| | SPECIFIC USES OR APPLICATIONS OF NANO-STRUCTURES; MEASUREMENT OR ANALYSIS OF NANO-STRUCTURES; MANUFACTURE OR TREATMENT OF NANO-STRUCTURES NOTE - | This subclass covers applications and aspects of nano-structures which are produced by any method, and is not restricted to those that are formed by manipulation of individual atoms or molecules. |
| Attention is drawn to the Note following the title of class B82, which defines the meaning of the terms "nano-size", "nano-scale" and "nano-structure" in this subclass. |
| This subclass is intended to enable a comprehensive search of subject matter related to nano-structures by combination of classification symbols of this subclass with classification symbols from other subclasses. Therefore this subclass covers aspects of nano-structures that might also be entirely or partially covered elsewhere in the IPC. |
| This subclass is for secondary classification, i.e. obligatory supplementary classification of subject matter already classified as such in other classification places, e.g. :B82B Nanostructures formed by individual manipulation of atoms, molecules, or limited collections of atoms or molecules as discrete units; manufacture or treatment thereof A61K 9/51 Nano - capsules for medicinal preparations B05D 1/20 Langmuir-Blodgett films C01B 31/02 Carbon nano-structures, e.g. bucky-balls, nanotubes, nanocoils, nano-doughnuts or nano-onions G01Q Scanning probe techniques G02F 1/017 Optical quantum wells or boxes H01F 10/32 Nano-structured thin magnetic films H01F 41/30 Molecular beam epitaxy [MBE] H01L 29/775 Quantum wire FETs |
| The classification symbols of this subclass are not listed first when assigned to patent documents. |
| In this subclass, multi-aspects classification is applied, so that aspects of subject matter that are covered by more than one of its groups should be classified in each of those groups. |
