Modern patent offices process over 3.3 million patent applications annually, with classification systems struggling to keep pace with emerging technologies and convergent innovations. The USPTO's Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) system alone contains over 260,000 classification codes, yet studies show that up to 30% of patents may be miscategorized due to the complexity of cross-domain technologies.

The fundamental challenge lies in developing classification systems that can accurately capture both the technical depth and the interdisciplinary nature of modern innovations while maintaining consistency across patent offices worldwide.

This page brings together solutions from recent research—including AI-powered classification models, natural language understanding systems for claim analysis, automated patent evaluation frameworks, and interactive visualization tools for portfolio mapping. These and other approaches focus on improving classification accuracy while reducing the manual effort required for patent analysis and organization.
