ELECTRONIC TIME-PIECES [2018-08]
NOTES

  • This subclass covers:
    • electronic time-pieces with no moving parts;
    • electronic circuitry for producing timing pulses irrespective of the nature of the time indicating means utilised.
  • This subclass does not cover electronic time-pieces with moving parts, which are covered by subclass G04C.
WARNING

  • In this subclass non-limiting references (in the sense of paragraph 39 of the Guide to the IPC) may still be displayed in the scheme.
