RE: Breaking news !....CBR patent published8 Sep 2023 13:24
Did some search (Bing AI) to see if a International Patent Classification (IPC) means a patent has been granted. This is what I found but I am not an expert in this area and could be wrong.
"No, the International Patent Classification (IPC) does not mean that a patent has been granted. The IPC is a tool for classifying and searching patent applications, specifications of granted patents, utility models, and similar technical documents according to their technical content1. The IPC is applied by patent offices worldwide to organize and retrieve patent information23.
The IPC does not indicate the status or validity of a patent application or a granted patent. To find out if a patent has been granted, you need to check the official patent databases of the relevant patent offices or use other sources of patent information, such as WIPO PATENTSCOPE3."
