The Command Line Interface
Esp@cenet does not offer a command line interface. However, there is at least one way to modify an esp@cenet search by using qualifying terms in addition to normal search terms within the classification search fields. To accommodate all the various types of IPC-8 class codes, there are several esp@cenet field qualifiers that can be input as modifiers into the IPC classification search field. These are:
- c: selects IPC core level
- a: selects IPC advanced level
- ci: selects IPC core level, invention information
- cn: selects IPC core level, additional information
- ai: selects IPC advanced level, invention information
- an: selects IPC advanced level, additional information
- c: selects IPC core level
For example, in the Advanced search form:
- A search on (ci: G11B5/62) will return hits with G11B5/62 indexed as the Core IPC class.
- A search on (ci: G11B5/62) will return hits with G11B5/62 indexed as the Core IPC class.
- A search for (an:G11B5/84) will return hits with G11B5/84 indexed as an Advanced Non-Invention IPC class.
